General Development The world is rapidly moving away from technology-based solutions toward end-user facilitation. Simple grammars provide a surprising solution to the problem of "driving" IT infrastructure to achieve business ends. In this article, Stephen Morris shows you how to use the interpreter design pattern to create a simple C++ grammar, which can be extended to produce surprisingly powerful capabilities.

Seriously now...

Can you write a more retarded article intro than that? It's a pretty darn simple concept, why wrap it up in all that eBusiness-ROI-IT-solution boolsheet?

Anyway, the code itself is horrible. Does the author even know what the keyword 'explicit' means? Is he aware of std::string? Does the author know what a memory leak is? It's written in the old c-with-classes style that was popular 10 years ago. C++ has evolved since, this guy obviously haven't.

informit articles are worthless and are best avoided. If the synopses don't give it away, then the juvenile "my first tutorial" nature of the articles will. They're like little advertisements for books people can generally do better than.
