Programming #

I call myself a software engineer, hence most of what I’ve done over the years was to write software and mostly in C++. Here you will find the bits and pieces that I like most.

House Rules #

• All software can be downloaded from my GitHub site.
• For the most part, formatting follows the guidelines from my Elements of Style. When it doesn’t, do as I say, not as I do :)
