Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process wherein the software requirements are first broken up into a series of unit tests and the software is then written to satisfy these unit tests. For example, if you were creating an API or a wrapper around an API that returns stock…

Support my content by becoming a Medium member or learning more about effective and modern C++ development (Amazon Affiliate links). Traditionally, when handling input for computer graphics applications, e.g. user interfaces, video games, etc., an increasingly long switch statement is used to determine which key is pressed or released or…

In a previous post, I introduced and released an open-source project called DataTables which is a tabular data structure for C++ users. In the process of creating a rudimentary machine learning library, I found myself needing an efficient and effective way of storing tabular data in C++ much like how…

Some time ago I created a Discord bot that had one important task: to let users know when Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord would release. After adding this bot to my Discord server (a small, family/friend server) I’ve received many requests about adding more functionality to the bot: custom commands…

Note: code for this project can be found on the project’s GitHub page. Inspiration In a series of recent posts, I wrote about a combinatorial object called a Latin square, a class in written C++ used to work with these objects, and some GPGPU (General Purpose GPU) algorithms I have developed…

According to a RapidAPI blog post, the most popular languages/frameworks used to build APIs are PHP, NodeJS, and Python (by a pretty fair margin). It is not often the case that languages like C++ are used for this purpose as it is a little outside of their purview. I’ve experienced…

In a previous post, I wrote about a combinatorial object known as a Latin square. I also discussed some research I had previously done and some research directions for working with these objects. Particularly, I mention the need for efficient algorithms to generate and process these objects. …
