One possible candidate - Qt Lighthouse Android port: http://code.google.com/p/android-lighthouse/ Hypothetically Qt could be a robust cross-platform solution for mobile phones just like it is on desktop. But mobile platforms are more clos

Violin and piano are indeed the most popular solo instruments in classical music. I won't stretch it too much if by saying that some of the best classical pieces are piano and violin concertos. At least 7 years of piano education were almos

C++ was designed in a way where only the features you use have overhead, so it is fairly easy to write the most computationally intense parts in C while using higher level abstractions everywhere else. This is something I missed a lot in Ja

In my experience, a combination of Python and C/C++, Lua/C++, or even just plain C++ with a good library like Qt offer better performance and productivity. And Open Office is not a good example, desktop applications are definitely not Java'

Looks more like an incremental arms race, just like with camera resolutions: iPhone 3GS: 480 x 320 (~ 1 year ago) Motorola Droid: 800 x 480 (~7 months ago) iPhone 4: 960 x 640

Public non-virtual functions may be useful. For example, to provide alternative API functions. Something like: virtual public setOrigin(const Point &p); public setOrigin(float x, float y) { setOrigin(Point(x,y)); } Someone inhe

I had to remove two of the three negations in the title to understand it: You need a non-mainstream opinion to be successful. Does anyone else have to do this mental exercise to understand?
