Today is the first birthday of the POCO Community Website. On July 11, 2006, the first post appeared on this blog. Happy birthday, and a big Thank You to everyone who contributed to POCO in the last twelve months. BTW, I’m writing this from Dallas Ft. Worth Airport, waiting for my connecting flight to San […]
Hi all, A first draft of PocoWebWidgets was submitted to SVN. PocoWebWidgets is a GUI library for Web based applications and this very first version features the following GUI elements: Buttons, ImageButtons, RadioButtons CheckBoxes, ComboBoxes Tables TextArea, TextFields, PwdFields Image HidablePanel ListView To align widgets one can use a Stackpanel, a FlowPanel or a Table.

Wouldn’t every true C++ programmer talking to a database be happy to be able to do something like this: RecordSet rset(session, “SELECT * FROM Vectors”); for (RecordSet::Iterator it = rset.begin(); it != rset.end(); ++it) std::cout << *it; Or this: std::copy(rset.begin(), rset.end(), std::ostream_iterator<Row>(std::cout)); No doubt. Well, if you’re a C++ aficionado and have a need to […]
The latest is null support. Not being able to insert/update and check for nulls was an important shortcoming, so I have pushed it ahead of Unicode. Now, the following works: ses << “CREATE TABLE NullTest (i INTEGER)”, now; ses << “INSERT INTO NullTest VALUES(:i)”, use(null), now; RecordSet rs(ses, “SELECT * FROM NullTest”); rs.moveFirst(); assert (rs.isNull(“i”)); […]
Since we are doing 1.4 overhaul, I’m not sure what (if anything) to do about following: DynamicAny NamedTuple::operator[] (const std::string& name) It would be nice to be able to do this on a NamedTuple: NamedTuple nt(“name”, 1); nt[“name”] = 2; The way it is done right now is deceptive because it does not modify the […]
I have just updated the Project Roadmap. The major change is that we’ll soon have a 1.4 release containing all the recently developed new stuff that does not quite fit into the 1.3.1 maintainance release (e.g., Event framework improvements, Data improvements, Async I/O). There will be a 1.3.1 bugfix release in the coming days, fixing […]
During a very relaxing one hour run through the forest yesterday, I suddenly had an idea how to implement asynchronous I/O for streams and sockets in POCO with very little effort. I’m going to try my ideas out today, so you can expect to show up something in the SVN repository tomorrow – it shouldn’t […]
Next month I will travel to the USA to give a few POCO trainings. I will be in the San Jose area from July 12 to July 16, and in the Boston area July 17 to July 21. Since I’ve lots of time in between the training sessions, I’d like to meet up with some […]
Today I fixed most of the currently open bugs reported on Sourceforge. The result is in the Subversion repository and will soon become release 1.3.1. There are also improvements to the Unix build system. It is now possible to build POCO-based applications and libraries outside of the POCO_BASE directory hierarchy. To do this, you’ll have […]
