QCA and crypto

If you are looking for a crypto library you want to use with QT look no further (end infomercial).

The Qt Cryptographic Architecture (QCA) is one rockin library. It provides support for SSL's, hashing and more. Check it out for yourself at http://delta.affinix.com/qca/.

I'm actually going to see about using it for a licensing component I'm writing. This is great especially if you don't want to roll your own crypto or try to get another crypto lib to compile with your project.

If you want to use something else there is always crypto++ at http://www.cryptopp.com/. I am taking a look at this one also because it is so widely used.

Adventures into Model/View/Delegate

I am going to switch one of my applications over to Model/View/Delegate architecture. I have always written my own CRUD (Create/Read/Update/Delete) methods and it was the major part of my work. After seeing the wonderful things you can do with views, I decided to go over to MVDs. Also if this works, it will save me a ton of time.

The model I decided on using is the QSqlRelationalTableModel. I'll try to keep you up to date on my progress.

Welcome to my new blog!

This is a blog about my adventures in C++ and QT as an novice (in my mind) developer. I've been told different but I always feel there is so much more to learn and how could I be anything other than a novice.

Basically the topics I will cover on a regular basis are QT (of course), C++, agile development, software businesses and my experiences along the way. By no means am I the final or only word on something and I would rather someone form their own opinion on a subject, so I will try to include links or supporting information.

Well, that's it for now...
