New News is Good News

Victoria Frick

As some of you may have already realized, I am taking over some of the news with c-sharpcorner. Since I'm just getting started, I'm hoping you can give me some feedback on what you would like me to cover? Name anything from new products to legal issues with magor companies. If it has to do with technology, I'll track it down!

Haha! Sam, my foot is doing better everyday. I will keep you posted on the recovery. Please do post all comments and requests here? Also, Mahesh, I just posted the FAQs on the new playbook and I will be following up with a blog later. I hope you are all having a great day!

As for C++, it is better to have the final standard instead of a best guess of what the standard will be. VC 6 was highly non-standard partly because it was developed before the initial C++ standard was finalized. Microsoft never fixed those problems. Considering what IE9 does to the HTML title tag (by Microsoft's design) I wonder if they can be trusted to fix the C++ compiler for whatever ways the standard deviates from Microsoft's design. So if Microsoft has officially stated that they will fix (at least) the VS 2010 C++ compiler to make it compliant with the standard when it is finalized then that is important news.

I hope this technical talk does not make Victoria's foot hurt more.

I think it will really help to have factual news instead of speculation. I apologize for causing this thread to drift from the subject. I hope people have other suggestions too.

PlayBook coverage would be nice.

From what I've heard it'll be a surprise now if the new standard is ratified before 2012.

However, some of its features are in VC++ 2010 already. Off the top of my head, lambda expressions and the new use for the 'auto' keyword are certainly included and there may be others.

Shall we post suggestions/requests here?

We are certainly interested in knowing about smart phones and mobile phones (I think they are the same thing but this web site usually calls them mobile phones).

I am curious about the status of the new C++ standard (ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG21 - The C++ Standards Committee). It has been developing for years. I can research that for myself but assuming that other C# programmers are interested in knowing about C++, it is a possible news subject.
