If both an option named “help” and one named “helper” […]
ODBC DataConnector is in the Subversion repository. The code is tested and runs correctly on Windows XP Pro with Oracle ODBC driver ver 10.02.00.01. It is an early snapshot with some wrinkles left to iron out so changes are likely to be seen in the near future. Comments and/or contributions are more than welcome. Alex
Interesting article by Dan Clarke in Reg Developer. Dan asks why there are so many things that C++ developers should do by hand, while Java developers have lots of frameworks available. Hopefully, with POCO as a solid foundation, we’ll soon see a lot more useful frameworks in C++, also.
There is a new interview with Scott Meyers available on his site. Scott talks about language future, upcoming standard etc. I found it surprising that he does not care much about concepts. I am from the “excited” crowd.

It does not cease to amaze me how large corporate marketing machines sucesfully create false perceptions. I mean, everyone knows Java is the language skill de jour. At least Sun, IBM and Oracle would like you to believe so. Or, was it C#? No need to spell out who wants you to believe that ;-). […]
Based on POCO – the open source network-centric, cross-platform C++ library – Applied Informatics Software Engineering GmbH, the expert to connect embedded systems with enterprise IT infrastructure, offers a Remoting Package, which is non intrusive: no need to extend interfaces or change already existing code so that it can run remotely simple: take your C++ […]
The Data library is POCOs new database abstraction layer. It features a generic SQL data access framework which defines interfaces for DataConnectors. A DataConnector implements the plumbing between Data and an actual database API (e.g., ODBC, OCI, etc.) POCO Data heavily builds on ideas borrowed from SOCI, another excellent database abstraction library under the Boost […]
