Why is so hard to follow coding guidelines?
Have you ever thought about that? How many times have you found code that, either doesn’t follow any rule or, simply, there is no rule for that case? So far, I have been working for different companies and, I have found these kind of problems. There could be different reasons, incomplete coding guidelines, misunderstood guidelines…
This week I have found this interesting article written by Nathan Myers (he has participated in the ISO/ANSI C++ Standard committee since 1993). He explains several cases that are not usually handled by all the style guidelines out there.
C++ Style Guidelines - A coding standard for C++ software developers and maintainers.
Good luck !

Lately, I have been reading so much about business and project management in the game industry.
Today I want to share with you some great articles about how you (me and everybody) can start your own games studio. Of course, these articles don’t cover all the aspects but contain very valuable information to start-up your own company.
The first is hosted in gamedev and it is written by Mona Ibrahim. The second one is written by Mark Morris and is hosted in bit-tech.

I like Apple keynotes for two reasons: expectation and surprises. Yesterday wasn’t the exception, during the WWDC keynote people all over the world became happy, the new iPhone 3G will be finally available very soon and with the highly expected GPS. I am pretty sure it is going to be one of the most popular cellphones ever, good price, great features, awesome design. However, that was not THE surprise for me.
I want to congratulate Digital Legends, and especially Xavier Carrillo. Because, either if you like to play with your cellphones or not, we have to recognize that they are doing such a great job. Their games have a graphics quality that is one step over the rest of the companies, I am not just talking about Kroll (the new game), but also One.
I have updated the blog, now it has two new sections.
- My resume is now online.
- New projects section.
