My '¿Fastware?' talk (Spanish)
Hello! Here is the the link to the slides of my talk entitled "¿Fastware?" (Spanish resource), which was exhibited at the "Second C++ Buenos Aires Meeting" on July 14, 2016. At that meeting we had the pleasure to view…
Palindromes and more
I decided to write this article from a question I saw in stackoverflow.com Here the link to the question. The questioner tries to write an algorithm to identify whether a "word" is a palindrome or it is not. The…
My 'Intro to Generic Programming' talk (Spanish)
Hello! Here is the the link to the slides of my talk entitled "Introduction to Generic Programming" (Spanish resource), which was exhibited at the "First C++ Buenos Aires Meeting" on March 31, 2016. At that meeting we…

Thanks Alex!
I am very pleased to have received these two gifts. These are two great books. It is an honor for me that are autographed by one of the greatest of our discipline. Do not deprive the pleasure of reading them. Elements…
What's your favorite flavor of Object?
In this article I want to continue the discussion about the terminology that we, programmers, use daily; following the line of "Using the proper terminology: Method?". Introduction Programmers, especially since the…
Using the proper terminology: Method?
In this series of articles I intend to review why we, as programmers, use certain terminology, certain words, some of which I consider inappropriate.\ In this case want to talk about the word method. First of all ...…
Stepanov's new book: From Mathematics to Generic Programming
The new book by Alexander Stepanov, and his colleague Daniel Rose, is about to go on sale. The book is based on the "Algorithmic Journeys" course taught by Alex at A9. I had the honor of reviewing the draft version, and…
Components Programming
As you may have noticed, Components Programming is the name of this blog. And perhaps you're wondering, what Components Programming means? It is convenient to clarify it now, since, in upcoming articles I want to test…
Writing min function, part 5: Stabilizing the algorithm
This is the fifth article of the series called "Writing min function". Finally I will address the last pending issue.\ To see the importance of the point I want to show to you, we have to write another function of our…
Writing min function, part 4: Const-Correctness
This is the fourth article of the series called "Writing min function". I still have to solve two mistakes made in the code of the previous posts. One of them is C++ specific, and the other it is a mistake that could be…
Writing min function, part 3: Weakening the ordering
This is the third article of the series called "Writing min function". Now we understand what Concepts are (do we?), I will try to complete the min function. What do I mean with "complete"? Well, first we need to see…
Writing min function, part 2: Understanding Concepts
This is the second article of the series called "Writing min function". I want complete the min function and fix the mistakes mentioned in the previous post. But first, we have to understand Concepts, so let's review…
Writing min function, part 1: The rise of Concepts
This is the first in a series of articles in which I want to transmit what I learned (or what I think I learned) from the books, papers and lectures of Alexander Stepanov. These are the lessons that Alex gives us, and I…
