Taken from http://www.boost.org/doc/html/program_options/tutorial.html, here's my “omigod why haven't I thought of this before” moment of the week:

// Declare the supported options.
po::options_description desc("Allowed options");

In my previous entry, I showed how a virtual wx.ListCtrl can be used to avoid some of the more annoying aspects of wx.ListCtrl's behavior can be avoided.  Furthermore, I gave an example of one such simple implementation:  NiftyVirtualCtrl.  In most cases, this is the end of the discussion.  However, as I noted in my blog entry,  I designed NiftyVirtualCtrl to be used -on top of- already existing ListCtrl's, by calling NiftifyList to dynamically change classes of an already instiated ListCtrl.  The reasoning for this being that I wished ot use the control with XRC, and did not want to

NTTMCL thinks that Software Quality Assurance (SQA) is one of the most important aspects of "Software Development". Then, we are always seeking the new trends, methods, and so on to make our testing activity more effective, more productive, and more!

Just information; the following conferences are good information source for QA persons.

1. STAREAST (Software Testing Analysis &Revivew EAST)

2. STARWEST (Software Testing Analysis &Revivew WEST)

3. STPCon (Software Test & Performance Conference)
