		<description><![CDATA[A naive approach to beginning work on a few of the basic constructs of functional programming in C and C++. It is not pretty, and it is not necessarily perfect. It does, however, work.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=authorblues.wordpress.com&blog=1264345&post=23&subd=authorblues&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Needs of users outweigh the vision of the leader, outweigh that which is easy, outweigh petty bickering about text input fields, and outweigh the ridiculous notion that users are incompetent.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=authorblues.wordpress.com&blog=1264345&post=15&subd=authorblues&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If a mantra could be ascribed to software development, it would be "make the common case fast." It is trivial to prove that making a small improvement to a large portion of code is better than a large improvement to a small portion of code. This is even more true when speaking about code that is used often.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=authorblues.wordpress.com&blog=1264345&post=13&subd=authorblues&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To be perfectly honest, the biggest danger with teaching C++ is also its greatest asset. That danger is C, the antiquated pater familias. Mixing C with C++ can be dangerous if not done properly, but can be even worse when students are not properly instructed upon how to mix them and what is considered acceptable.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=authorblues.wordpress.com&blog=1264345&post=12&subd=authorblues&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do we continue to teach complicated languages, to the chagrin of entering students, and lower our retention rates significantly? Or do we continue to produce students who possess a skill set analogous to placing a square peg in a square hole, fitting a basic solution to a basic problem, but being unable to actually write code?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=authorblues.wordpress.com&blog=1264345&post=5&subd=authorblues&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
