Developers' Corner

For the moment just some interesting links for FLACO developers (not very destilled):

Project management

FLaCo is free software so we suggest anyone that wants to join it to have a look at the following links:

• Producing Open Source Software. How to Run a Successful Free Software Project by Karl Fogel
• Open source software development method
• The Cathedral and the Bazaar

Tools supporting our development process:

• Trac An enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. This site is trac!
• Subversion A version control system that is a compelling replacement for CVS in the open source community.

Other interesting links

• Development stage terminology
• Software versioning schemes

Conceptual tools

• Design:
  • UML Class Diagrams and guidelines
• Persistency
  • Mapping Objects to Relational Databases: O/R Mapping In Detail

Development tools

Although originally a prototype was implemented by using Javascript (over Firefox) + a C program, currently we are moving to Qt/C++. Here you can find some links to the development tools:

• C/C++ compiler:
  • GNU/Linux: Most GNU/Linux systems already include The GNU Compiler Collection.
  • Windows: we recomend the development environment Dev-C++.
• C/C++ documentation:
  • The C++ Programming Language (Bjarne Stroustrup)
  • Standard Template Library Programmer's Guide
  • Designing Components with the C++ STL
  • The C++ resources network
  • Your resource for C/C++
• QT Qt is a cross-platform application development framework, widely used for the development of GUI programs, and, since the release of Qt 4, also used for developing non-GUI programs such as console tools and servers. Qt uses standard C++, but extends the language by providing an additional pre-processor that converts Qt's extensions into pure C++.

Coding standards

• High Integrity C++ Coding Standard Manual from Programming Research is a very good coding standard document we are trying to follow.

Some interesting links and discussions

• A very interesting discussion about gtkmm and Qt (again): http://www.telegraph-road.org/writings/gtkmm_vs_qt.html
