Writing code isn’t that hard. Writing good code is. But what is good code? Well, I am still learning to write good code. I bought Professional C++ 2nd edition a year ago. It’s not the most recent edition, but it covers C++ 11. Which is a good startingpoint for me to catch up with modern C++.
I am going to write Weather Station 2 in C++ using OOP techniques. So everything will work with classes.
Developmenttool used
The developmenttool I use for Weather Station 2 is C++ Builder Community. It’s an developmenttool originally developed by Borland. Now Embarcadero develops C++ Builder. It’s a so-called RAD (Rapid Application Development) tool.
It has a very good GUI framework called the VCL (Visual Component Library) which makes development much easier.
ToDo List
The ToDo list table shows the 4 stages of development the application will be. I am still at milestone 1. Which is basically the basis for the other milestones. I want to create an Database object that will have an Record object. So I can ‘ask’ the Database Object to show me the weatherdata of a certain city on a certain day if it’s in the database.
