Welcome to alepho.com
Welcome to my programming corner on the Internet. You can find here basic informations on my work, cv, interests and some code examples.
I'm focused on programming applications backend i.e. client-server, protocols, database and middleware level. Oriented to open source technologies, I'm playing with several languages (C, C++, Java, Perl, PHP and recently Python), databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite), operating systems (Linux, FreeBSD) and APIs (languages standard libraries, POSIX, Qt, POCO, Apache, ...). Mathematical education leads me to explore some topics on data structures, graphs and applied algorithms. In every day work I'm dealing with big amounts of data, so my intention is (beside that the applications work correct) to write clean code, easy to maintain and change, with no side-effects.
In the CV section you can find information on my work experience, projects that I worked on, and used technologies. If you have some work to be done, you can check Services section and see if some of my skills are suitable to you. Then you can contact me via Contact form. In the Code section you can find some programming stuff that I've found useful when experimenting with various technologies.
Rvalue-references basics
One of the language changes in the next C++ standard is the addition of rvalue-references. While some people believe this mechanism will be used by a small number of library writers, I think that it will have a wider impact on the way we write software in C++.

Why Not Specialize Function Templates?
While the title of this article is a question, it could also be made into a statement: this article is about when and why not to specialize templates.
