If I have not written anything literary over the past month or so, it has been for the singular reason that the only thing occupying my senses has been code (and it’s not like the situation has changed in the least bit). While I have several musings about the nature of expression, and what not brewing in my head, I thought I might spend a moment to elaborate on the interesting programming paradigms/techniques or such that I’ve played around with in the recent past.
This list spans an infinity, and having much to say about each I’ve decided to start an “Excursions in Programming” series to cover them in sufficient length to do them justice. While these techniques may be nothing new to those who’ve used it, I think they serve as eye-openers to those who haven’t. I hope that this collection will interest those few readers who share an interest in programming.
What’s in Store
- Generators in Python, C and C++
- Lambda functions in Python
- The almighty __setattr__ in Python
- PDB and Python
- Private functions in Python
- Using readline
- Notes on Yacc/Bison
- The Power of Git
- Valgrind, GDB GProf
I’ll probably take my time to generate this whole list, but rest assured that I will have less technical topics in between.
