Publications

I've writen a number of articles on C/C++ programming. To some people that's a really big deal. It makes other people yawn. They have mostly been for ACCU magazines, and are available through the ACCU (if you're a programmer not in this organisation, join it - it's excellent). There is more information relevant to a number of these articles on the following pages: Professionalism in programming series A description of the series Link: professionalism in programming page   Circular buffers articles Download the example code Link: circular buffers page   Book reviews View my ACCU book reviews from the link below Link: Pete Goodliffe's book reviews, as published in C Vu

The book

The book! Don't talk to me about the book! There are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant.                      Ralph Waldo Emerson Code Craft, my software development tome is still under heavy development. It's a book from the trenches. Well, it actually comes from deep within the software factory, but sometimes there isn't too much difference. It's for programmers who care about what they're doing. It addresses topics like: source code presentation, defensive coding techniques, how to debug programs effectively, good teamworking skills, and managing your source code. Watch this space for more information.
