Today Microsoft is announcing Casablanca, an incubation effort to support cloud based client-server communication in native code using a modern asynchronous C++ API design. I stumbled on When I first started learning C++ (back in the bad old days) I was convinced that any 1st year student could design a better programming language. Worse, recent APIs implemented in modern programming languages make the same mistakes as their 20-year-old counterparts written in C. Based on hearsay, Qt is quite complicated and hackish inside, but what it presents to the outside is pure delight in terms of API design. Similar to the pilots' pre-flight checklist, this list helps software designers remember obvious and not so obvious rules while designing Java APIs. Somewhat later I had the pleasant experience of writing C++ code with Qt. I've been thinking a lot about APIs and their design recently. Compare this to what you can do with C++ mixins, there's a lot more to it than just delegating interface members to other objects. Like any complex task, it tests the limits of our attention and memory. Asynchronous API in C++ and the Continuation Monad. The latest C++11 Standard was a brave attempt, after many years of neglect, at catching up with the reality of concurrent programming. Public class Customers : Versioned { }. Object based, but hardly useable and hardly C++, just IDL and a vtable. Published at Wed, 19 Mar 2008 06:45:43 GMT. Now we have the same API for the simple (and invasive) scenario, but with minimal effort, we have made it possible to use non invasive and smart approaches. There seems to be something elusive about API design that, despite years of progress, we have yet to master. Another example: Contrary to the default belief of some I've encountered (and then corrected), Gavin King has never programmed in C++. Even though I live in the C++ world as opposed to Java, 99% of this is directly applicable. This is a rather accessible look at the . Then I had MFC, it was better, but being just a wrapper for the C Win32 API, it wasn't modern C++ or API design. There are many different rules and tradeoffs to consider during Java API design. Today, I want to give some insight into the new language extensions, officially called C++/CX, which was designed to support the new API model in Windows 8.
