Code Gardening: August 2012
http://www.codegardening.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, 11 August 2012. To try and explain why they should read I now use the metaphor of a jigsaw puzzle. Reading an article or book is like picking up a single piece of the puzzle. Sometimes you can see something recognizable on the piece and see how it fits. More often the picture on the piece only makes sense when it is seen in the context of the surrounding pieces.

Code Gardening: Developer Summit 2012 in Kansai
http://www.codegardening.com/2012/09/developer-summit-2012-in-kansai.html
Sunday, 23 September 2012. Developer Summit 2012 in Kansai. Was a free one day conference (in Japanese) for developers held in Kobe, Japan. It is nice to see more of these events taking place in Kansai rather than just in Tokyo. This event was very popular with several of the sessions being completely full. Following the Google and Microsoft promotions we had an advertising spot for JIRA. The bug tracking system from Atlassian) given by Suzuki Yusuke, an engineer from Growth xPartners. I am British but h...

Code Gardening: July 2010
http://www.codegardening.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Friday, 9 July 2010. A script for adding test cases to a CppUnit test class. To fix this I created a small Python script to add a new test, so working from the command line, I just need to write. And the declaration and prototype are created. I don't need to even look at the header file I can just go straight to the definition of the test function and add the test. The header file for a CppUnit test case looks like this:. CPPUNIT TEST SUITE (. CPPUNIT TEST SUITE END ();. And the source file. The hardest ...

Code Gardening: Application Development with Qt-Creator
http://www.codegardening.com/2014/02/application-development-with-qt-creator.html
Sunday, 2 February 2014. Application Development with Qt-Creator. Packt sent me a copy of their new book on using Qt-Creator "Application Development with Qt-Creator". It is very clearly targeted at beginners and anyone with experience of other IDEs would probably find it too light. However, if you are completely new to programming it covers some of the basics of using Qt-Creator, but not really enough to create an actual application. Splitting the main editor window to view two files at the same time.

Code Gardening: Installing ReviewBoard on RHEL-5
http://www.codegardening.com/2013/11/installing-reviewboard-on-rhel-5.html
Tuesday, 5 November 2013. Installing ReviewBoard on RHEL-5. Is a great free code review tool which we have been using for several years now. We run it on a Redhat server and it is connected to our Subversion repository. With the 1.7 release of ReviewBoard support for Python 2.4 was dropped and unfortunately that is the standard Python on RHEL-5. So I have been putting off upgrading for some time. Contain the rpms for Python 2.6 so it was as easy as. Export http proxy=http:/ 192.168.1.1:80. Of course, it ...

Code Gardening: Visual Studio 2012 breaks VS2010
http://www.codegardening.com/2012/09/visual-studio-2012-breaks-vs2010.html
Saturday, 15 September 2012. Visual Studio 2012 breaks VS2010. Just rescued me again from yet another Microsoft problem. It seems if you try to install Visual Studio 2012 when you already have a Visual Studio 2010 installation then the 2010 installation gets broken. I can't believe that they did not, which means that they must not care about breaking existing environments. There was no warning message that it would happen and the Update for 2010 was only available after installing 2012.
