The new Canon SD200 is really gorgious :-) (also compared to the Z2.)

More Python links:

• Python Pocket PC / Win CE comes with win32gui and win32event. The shell itself is pcceshell.py so it's a good example of how to use win32*.
• PyWin32 brings these win32* modules to the desktop too (which allows pcceshell.py to work on the dekstop.)
• Py-Toc

AIM for PocketPC:

• AIM.com. Note the "Get It Now" red button is a dead download link. Instead use the text in yellow at the top.
• AOL.co.uk. points to the same working link than the page above. Can also be found on SnapFiles.
• MyMobile.aol.com, the official site sends you to Handango and sell the client for $20, what?!. The FAQ and installation instructions on the web page for PocketPC 2003 are Word files, what's wrong with them?!

More Python links:

• Pydev, that one works yet lack a "start here" thingy.
• PyEclipse seens dead (not updated since 2002)

Update 20041214: Pydev is quite nice. What I was missing: Help > Help Contents > PyDev. Also right-click on a .py in the package explorer and use Python > Run or Python > Debug.

For Apache and web development:

• mod_python
• Introducing mod_python
• http://www.python.org/topics/web

More Python links, this time with a focus on IDEs:

• Boa Constructor
• PythonCard
• Source Navigator
• wxGlade
• wxPython
• wxWidgets

and finaly:

• Dive Into Python

Still trying to get the Pocket PC 2002 Emulator to connect to the Internet?

• Using the Emulator in Smart Device Projects

The solution to have connectivity is relatively simple:

• First set the Network Adapter to NE2000.
• Configure the proxy as explained above if necessary.

What do you think of these questions? (same content)

• http://dotnetguy.techieswithcats.com/archives/004259.shtml
• http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/archive.aspx?post=748

I wouldn't have all the answers right. Let's see:

• _beginthreadex and CreateThread: MSDN knows (sort of, as usual). Cf memory allocation issues.

• Share memory between Win32 processes: memory-mapped files. GlobalAlloc has nothing global but its name.

• AppDomain: isolation, unloading, and security boundaries (cf MSDN).

• HttpModule: MSDN will give you some examples.

• Mutexes and Semaphores: Yes. Love those.

• Member functions in C++ without them being declared virtual: Actually never thought of it this way. Makes sense though.
• When and why declare virtual: Sure.

• A::A() {m_x = 5;} and A::A() : m_x(5) { }: Maybe yet I couldn't phrase it right.

• Reverse a string in place: Who actually needs that in real life anyway?

• IL isn't interpreted: Yes.

• SQL Server: No.

• Running Object Table: No.

• Relocating to Colorado: No.

4 located thru MSDN, 6 I could reply as-is and 3 irrelevant questions. There's many I wouldn't actually want to know unless it was necessary for the job at hand (using the usual pattern: "Hey, Ralf, do you know how to do that? Hmm let me check MSDN... yeah sure.")

One important question is: can you work without access to technical literature? (namely MSDN for Windows dev and Google for everything.) I couldn't.

Pseudo code to reverse a string:

	char * s = pointer to start of string, assumed not null
	int    n = strlen(s);
	char * e = s+n-1; // end of string

	while(e > s)
	{
		char a = *s; *s = *e; *e = a; // swap start and end
		s++; e--;                     // go to next/prev chars
	}

You can combine all this in a one-line for statement. It would look wizardry, be harder to debug and confuse the next intern that is supposed to maintain the code. I wouldn't hire someone like that. YMMV.
