New user : little presentation and question about article topics.
-
Hello everybody, I'm new here, so I hope I post this message at the right place (I hesitate between here and 'The Lounge', but as this message is about writing articles...). First of all, sorry for my faulty English, but I'm French... I'm a long time passionated professional developer, mainly in C++. Beside proprietary software I develop for my clients, I'm also working on some free software (AGLP licensed) that I present on my (non-commercial) web site (http://q37.info/). There are mostly some command-line tools (http://q37.info/computing/epeios/tools/), although I begun to work on the development of applications with graphical UI (http://q37.info/computing/epeios/apps/). Most of my software works under Windows, OS X, and GNU/Linux (and probably other POSIX-compliant OSes), natively on IA-32, AMD64 and ARM compatible architectures. My software are based on a a self-developed (alas undocumented) framework called Epeios, which is mainly based on system libraries. Although it's a C++ framework, it does not even use the STL (this library wasn't usable at the time I begun working with C++), but it includes somewhat equivalent functionalities. My goal is not to promote this framework (will be useless, as it's not documented), but it contains some (I hope) useful functionalities. For example, when I write a command-line tool, I don't need to write a single line of code dedicated to the handling of command-line arguments, as the framework is responsible for this (a little bit more about his at http://q37.info/computing/epeios/tools/configuration/). So, I wonder if a detailed description, for example, on how this (or other functionalities from this framework you may find interesting) works, illustrated with code samples from the framework, and with, as examples, some (already available) freely downloadable software which implements this functionality, will be a good candidate for an article on your site. Due to my faulty English, and because I'm new here and so not familiar with the writing of such an article, I will naturally need some help, but I will be very pleased to share my passion for the development with other developers... Regards, Claude SIMON.
