Good Math, Bad Math : The "C is Efficient" Language Fallacy - 0 views

  • Here's the problem. C and C++ suck rocks as languages for numerical computing. They are not the fastest, not by a longshot. In fact, the fundamental design of them makes it pretty much impossible to make really good, efficient code in C/C++.
  •  
    An informed rant on why C/C++ are NOT the fastest programming languages, but merely the "closest to the metal."

Making Strings More Secure - 0 views

  • Whidbey will be introducing a new class, SecureString, that helps to make this all easier for you. SecureStrings are held in encrypted memory by the CLR (using DPAPI), and are only unencrypted when they are accessed.  This limits the amount of time that your string is in plaintext for an attacker to see.  Since SecureString uses DPAPI to help secure your data, it's not available on Windows 98, ME, or Windows 2000 with anything less than service pack 3.
  •  
    The SecureString class provides a string type that is stored encrypted in memory when not in use and will not be copied around by the Garbage Collector, plus they can be zeroed out on destruction, and locked to read-only mode... Which makes this perfect for storing things like passwords in memory.

C vs C++ vs Java - 0 views

  • Must be declared outside the loop
    • Joel Bennett
       
      This is a really important difference. C, C++, and Microsoft's Safe CRT C/C++ all behave differently in this case.
  •  
    A good language comparison of the differences between C and C++ and Java, calls out the major differences that are apt to bite you if you swtich back and forth.
