organization

I'm making an android app and since I've just started I want to try get the most organised code/resources. In my strings.xml file so far I have this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="app_name">GameController</string> <string name="stop">Stop</string> <string name="start">Start</string> <string name="preferences">Preferences</string> <string name="back">Back</string> </resources> All of the strings except app_name are used in an options menu. But since I will be adding much more strings I was thinking that it might be better to do something like this: <?xml

I'm looking at how to import some third part code into a git repository. The third party code is the "stm32f10x_stdperiph_lib" that is provided by ST. The lib is actually a bunch of normal c-files (and header-files) that you just include and build with when you do a STM32 project. The problem is that they only provide it as a zip-file and they do release new versions, so I would like to add more control. So my plan is to write a little script that does this: unzip grab some of the files (I don't need all the files in the zip) import the selected files into a git repository My problems start at

Is there any sort of plug-in or tool available for Visual Studio 2008 to alphabetize methods? Ideally I'd like a tool that will alphabetize a selection, or specified type (i.e. only methods, not member variables), either automatically or on-demand. DavidN Resharper has a Type Members Layout, which can order members by type, accessibility and alphabetically as well. You can also take a look into Ora , which presents a pane in visual studio that is ordered (even though your source may not be). Link's dead. The following answer goes much further than the OP asks, because I believe, that sorting

I have an array of strings that describe the parent/child relationship by being delimited with dashes. So, if Bob's boss was Jim and Jim's boss was Fred, Bob's entry in the array would be "Fred-Jim-Bob" and Jim's entry would be "Fred-Jim." I don't have the ability to change the way the data is coming in so I was looking for help as far as the best way of turning these values into JSON similar to this: { "name": "Fred", "children": { "name": "Jim", "children": { "name": "Bob" } } } Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. var input = ["Fred-Jim-Bob", "Fred-Jim", "Fred-Thomas-Rob", "Fred"]

What are the C++ coding and file organization guidelines you suggest for people who have to deal with lots of interdependent classes spread over several source and header files? I have this situation in my project and solving class definition related errors crossing over several header files has become quite a headache. Some general guidelines: Pair up your interfaces with implementations. If you have foo.cxx , everything defined in there had better be declared in foo.h . Ensure that every header file #includes all other necessary headers or forward-declarations necessary for independent
