Technical Topics

This section is for items of a more technical nature, mostly related to programming.

It will include reviews of programming tools, discussions of issues in programming theory and practice, and looking at the general state of the art.

Like most of the rest of this web site it can be read by non-technical people, but this section might be a bit harder going than the other sections. A number of the pieces here were originally written for CVu, the journal of the UK C and C++ Users Group.

If you disagree with any of the articles published in this section, please feel free to send me alternative views about them (mail Alan@ibgames.com). I'm happy to publish views other than my own here.
