we are a small software team of around 10 people and we are thinking of hiring QA people. Any ideas on how to start off a QA team since i have no idea about the QA tools being used in the market or what kind of expertise a candidate should have. Any ideas on how to go on about this?? we are basically working on Visual C++ 6.0 for the core part and Visual basic 6.0 for the GUI part. Also are there any books on this topic both specific to these tools and somewhat general books?? Also i've heard of PC-lint any one using that?? Thanks for your help.

I cannot say much about Q/A but CPPUNIT testing framework is used by most developers to unit test thier code.
The integration with VC6 is also very easy. 
Take a very good care of Yourself.

please help me creat an internet filter application which will block all unwanted sites. The application will use key words to filter contents requested by clints. The application should also use a web robot if possible. I would be glad if you took time to help me here. You can mail me at michubu@hotmail.com.

I have a small artificial life app I wrote in VB just for fun, but it's way too slow and clunky. I'm looking for a C++ guru with some time to spare who can speed it up a bit for me. My C++ has gotten rusty over the years.
The App is called Pixel Evolution. The idea is based on creatures adapting to their environments over many generations. The environment in questions is a simple image (bmp, jpg, etc.). Each pixel on the target image is a habitat which contains a single a-life pixel. The pixel's RGB values dictate his fitness for that habitat. The closer to the coresponding target image pixel the better.
A random pixel is selected and a random neighboring opponent pixel is chosen. The two pixels have a mini pixel combat and basically the pixel that is better adapted to its environment (closer to the color of the pixel at that location in the target image) wins:
Target #235, RGB(184, 251, 18)<br />
Pixel #235, RGB(232, 148, 67)<br />
Difference, RGB( 48, 103, 49) total: 200<br />
<br />
Target #135, RGB(186, 248, 20)<br />
Pixel #135, RGB(118, 4, 48)<br />
Difference, RGB( 68, 244, 28) total: 338<br />
<br />
Pixel 235 wins.<br />
Pixel 135 Dies.<br />
Pixel 235's (mutated) offspring fills square 135<br />
235 also dies leaving behind a second (mutated) offspring in its own square.<br />
<br />
If the two pixels are tied both pixels produce one offspring in their respective squares.<br />
Eventually All pixels are within 1% of the target images color, producing a pixel-for-pixel replication of the target image, with some very artistic looking variations along the way. It works fast too. You can already see a ghost of the target image within half a generation (with a random starting population), and the image is just about perfect within about 50 generations, depending on the starting population.
The original population can either be totally random, a flat color, a pattern of some sort, or another image. The app should have controls for loading the target and population images. It should have a way to adjust the mutation rate, and room for expansion into sexual reproduction (as opposed to asexual), including mate selection (fittest pixels win), and crossover of the R, G, and B genes. My app also had a funtion that saved a periodic snapshot of the population so that a video could be time-lapsed together in the end.
The whole thing took me only an hour or so to program in VB, I'm sure it would be even quicker in C++.
So how about it? Any takers? Any ideas on other features that could added to a project like this? Most importantly of all, has this been done already? I've never seen it. To the best of my knowledge it's an original idea, but I could be wrong. Please let me know. Thanks.
PS. Let me know if you want a copy of my code or VB App. It's really cool, it's just too darn slow.

This seems like it might make a neat screen saver as well.

So can you help or what?

I have some experience writing a screen saver.
I also have some experience dealing with multiple monitors.
I don't have the time right now to work on this much, however.
I merely thought that the program itself would be fun to watch as a screen saver.
If you can get it far enough along, I can help to turn it into a screen saver.

ComponentScience (we) are preparing a new component library called, "Tachyon". It is written entirely in C# for the .NET compact framework.
... and we are looking for beta testers.
All testers who actively participate will receive a free subscription to the source-code version of the product when it ships.
If you want to participate, please send an email to BetaManager@ComponentScience.net and let us know you want to help test Tachyon.
I almost forgot. The Betamanager email account has an aggressive spam protection system in place and will reject any messages with attachments. Please send simple plain-text messages only.

How about a little explanation of what the product does....
my blog

Tachyon is our first compact framework library. It is where we will focus all of our compact framework efforts moving forward.
Currently it has a mix of UI controls, as well as a few custom dialogs and even a very nice rich-ink control.
I'm afraid that until you sign our NDA, that's all I can tell you at this time.
Send me an email at betamanager@componentscience.net and I will send you the NDA straight away. Once you sign it, I will tell you how you can download the product and try it out.

Looks interesting. How does this differ from Eclipse?
my blog
|
|
|
|

The first and big difference betwen SDE and Eclipse is that SDE is being written in C# and Eclipse is written in java.
Eclipse is a mature product while SDE is in its early stage of development .The features are being added slowly but surely and the change has been barely noticable until now, a lot of features like project managment , compile services etc are already implemented
Both IDEs can be extended with packages .Packages are plug-ins that each "teach" SDE how to work with things (source code, OO models, Web content, XML, graphics, workflow processes, video) almost anything you can imagine
anyway , I like eclipse so lots of concepts from this IDEs are present on the SDE design.
Thanks for your interest and If you have further questions feel free to contact me
