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 […]

It’s been a while now since I’ve read The Timeless Way of Building by Christopher Alexander, but had no time to comment on it. The central theme of the book is the quality without a name. Well, since Alexander found no name for it, I certainly shall not attempt to do it either. But this […]

Are you planning a POCO based project or are you already in the middle of it and want to receive expert knowledge face-to-face? Here is what Peter Thulin, Technical Lead at TAC said about a recent training: “With the POCO Kick-Start Training we received expert knowledge directly from one of POCO’s developers. Through the training […]
Were you ever in a situation where you wrote a piece of code, used it, loved it and half a year later you use it again and well, somehow your expectations have risen? That happened to me with the events of POCO. If you used them, you are probably famliar with that code: Poco::BasicEvent<const std::string> […]
Interesting things are happening. While Steve Jobs, explaining why iPhone comes Java-less, says: “Java’s not worth building in. Nobody uses Java anymore. It’s this big heavyweight ball and chain.”, on Artima some folks are lamenting about their frustration with Java ME. In the mean time, Symbian goes POSIX. And last but not least: the last […]
POCO Data is now available for download. This is the first release of Data, and in order to get this release out sooner, some planned features are still missing (full ODBC Unicode support on Windows, DateTime support). Nevertheless, I am quite happy with the result for now, and hope you will be too. The documentation […]
