Not a bad idea man. I think the current incarnation of Minds(>) has a Facebook page and such, I’m sure they’d be interested too.

Aidan, It was founded in the spring of January 1998 by 2 HDipIT students, Madeline and Donal (I’ve forgotten their surnames) and myself. We got Ego from Redbrick and that’s where it started. Mags got involved in autumn 1998. There is probably more to it than that and will write more about it soon

Ya see, I figured at some stage people would be interested, so that’s why I went about collecting a history back in 06. You can find the history here

Doh… vector open angle bracket Widget close angle bracket ::iterator. Sorry for messing up your blog page!

Doh! My comment was processed as html…. I typed vector\::iterator

Shouldn’t the C++ vector iterator be declared as “vector::iterator”?

Under “Conditional statements” std::end should be std::endl.

Maybe it’s worth mentioning import vs #include, and particularly

Under “Inheritance”, there’s a missing semicolon after ~Widget(). Also, Widget’s destructor should be qualified as virtual (as should Frob’s – and IWidget’s).

In the right column, you’ve slipped a System.Out.println() into the C++ code. Also, it may be that correctly defined iterators will have a suitably overloaded operator-> so the (*i). may rightly be i-> … I don’t recall for sure though.

Also, maybe something on pass by value vs pass by reference.

C++ Conditional Statements should be

std::endl instead of std::end

I thought the vector iteration didn’t have a header at first pass, since I was reading it as three columns down rather than across. Also I didn’t know that C++ had System.out.println

For the inheritance and interface examples, is it worthwhile putting the constructors in?
