Honestly I am not an experienced C++ programmer. And my knowledge of C is also limited. But knowing C++ and C is just some form of help and distraction at same when I am starting learning objective C. Although personally I believe the only reason why objective C is popular is only that Apple is pushing it and I do not think this will last for long, I have to pick it up since I have to take CS3217 this coming semester.

After enrolling in CS3217, the first thing that I need to worry about about is in fact the programming language. In fact, after the experience with C, C++ and Java, there should not be any programming language that is particularly hard except for those functional ones which I have absolutely no knowledge of. But this time I am worried because I do not have a Mac and running OS-X in VM is definitely not a good idea for a computer as it makes the computer lag a lot. So I want to find out more on things that can enable objective-C programming in linux.

After a not very good year 1 in NUS, I decided to have a change. And the start of the this semester was already different–I decided to take 7 modules. If the Orbital Programme–CP3108 in the summer also counts, 8 in total and those include intensive modules like CS2103 and EG2301. But I wanted to give it a shoot.

Well, clearly this article took me three months to complete–and I still do not really want to finish this if the new exam result release just arrived. So now I am writing about sem2 at the end of sem3(LOL). Does that mean that I am so busy in the last semester that I do not even have time for just an article? I would sem2 is just too bad that I do not even want to face it even after a whole semester.

First of all, it is not hard at all the run google test on Visual Studio 2012. For VS2008, it is even simpler. What you need to do is just one of the two solutions in msvc. But do make sure the project settings: dll for the one with the name gtest-md.sln and static library for gtest.sln.

This is written at the beginning of the second semester as I am looking back at what I have gone through in the whole year.

Today I just finished Google Grow Beyond Program.
