a library of routines for managing a database. The database is a simple data file containing records, each is a pair of a key and a value. Every key and value is serial bytes with variable length.
an Open Source Probabilistic Information Retrieval library, a highly adaptable toolkit to allow developers to easily add advanced indexing and search facilities to their own applications.
a modern alternative to object middleware such as CORBA™ or COM/DCOM/COM+. Ice is easy to learn, yet provides a powerful network infrastructure for demanding technical applications.
a way of representing structural information as diagrams of abstract graphs and networks. Automatic graph drawing has many important applications in software engineering, database and web design, networking, and in visual interfaces for many other domains
open source high performance realtime 3D engine written and usable in C++ and also available for .NET languages. It is completely cross-platform, using D3D, OpenGL and its own software renderer.
generates HTML documentation for C++ classes, based on your source code and special comments embedded within it. It can produce output that is very similar to the output of Javadoc, and it supports Javadoc tags such as @see, @return , etc.
a free source code editor which supports several programming languages running under the MS Windows environment. based on Scintilla edit component (a very powerful editor component)
a publish/subscribe and point to point 100% Java based MOM server (message-oriented middleware) which exchanges messages between publishers and subscribers. The message is described with XML-encoded meta information. Messages may contain everything, GIF i
a source code tag system that works the same way across diverse environments. You can locate a specified object in the source files and move there easily. It is useful for hacking a large project containing many subdirectories, many #ifdef and many main()
a language system for specifying concurrent, hierarchical, finite state machines (an implementation of "statecharts") to model and control reactive systems.
a language tool that provides a framework for constructing recognizers, compilers, and translators from grammatical descriptions containing Java, C#, C++, or Python actions. It provides excellent support for tree construction, tree walking, and translatio
a free user interface builder for GTK+ and GNOME interfaces designed are saved as XML, and by using the libglade library these can be loaded by applications dynamically as needed. (Glade can also generate C code)
a development tool to help programmers adheres to a coding standard. It automates the process of checking code to spare humans of this boring (but important) task.
an interface for array-oriented data access and a library that provides an implementation of the interface. The netCDF library also defines a machine-independent format for representing scientific data.
a robust, somewhat scalable, cross-platform client-server messaging system for dynamic distributed applications that runs under any POSIX-compliant operating system.
a Java-like library that acts as a bridge between the C++ and the Java worlds. It offers a wide range of the Java facilities without losing the power of C++.
JVM startup time was included in these results. That means even with JVM startup time, Java is still faster than C++ in many of these tests. With some tweaks and lots of resources.
an Open Source (free) tool that allows you to have a different password for all the different programs and websites that you deal with, without actually having to remember all those usernames and passwords. (an alternative to KeepPass if needed)
Guy Steele's keynote at the 1998 ACM OOPSLA conference on "Growing a Language" (mostly about JAVA) discusses the importance of and issues associated with designing a programming language that can be grown by its users.
will check if your computer has the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and allows you to remove all possible older versions, cleaning also the regestry.
