John Giudice has started a weblog.  John is another Product Manager here at Groove.  He is in charge of the Groove Developer Kit and its various tools and utilities.  John says: Over the coming days I will try and share ideas on what is involved with creating collaborative applications and making them succesful [Matt Pope's Radio Weblog] Cool! I worked with John a lot on the Toolkit. One of the very cool things that I always loved about John is he is one of the very few Product Managers I have ever seen anywhere that gets as dirty in the code as he does. He codes at home too. Cool! 6:32:44 PM

Writing Secure Code This book provided a few new insights, but nothing earth-shattering.  It's a good read for newer programmers, but [good] seasoned programmers will have already run into a lot of the described issues and learned from their mistakes. [Paresh Suthar's Radio Weblog] I agree that its quite basic. However, judging from the amount of buffer overruns that are seen in everyday C/C++ code, and the fact that Buffer Overrun checks had to be put into Everett C++, I don't at all agree that many programmers are writing C/C++ write code that doesn't have these problems (or even aware). Heck, to some extent Java and C#/.NET exist for large reasons because of the failure of C/C++ programmers to write good safe code. 9:30:16 AM
