There are lots of articles, which describe how to convert XML documents to the documents of other types using the XSL Formatting Objects. Most of them describe how to obtain HTML from XML and only few tell about PDF documents.

Such articles usually demonstrate simple examples (how to build the table or perform the text output). But sometimes we need to create representative reports or documents. In this case, developers face nontrivial problems – for example creating the table of contents (using internal or external links), bookmark trees, picture galleries, etc.  This article will help you to examine main features of XSL schemes.

In this article, we examined the problems of program control of the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor with the help of the C++ language and WMI technology.

The attached example represents a small library of classes for managing the Hyper-V hypervisor and the test application, which uses the part of the library functionality.

Recently I faced one very interesting task. I had to port an application from one platform (Windows) to another (Linux). It is an interesting topic. First, knowledge of several platforms and writing the code for them is a good experience for every developer. Secondly, writing an application for different platforms makes it widespread and needed by many. So, I would like to share my impressions concerning this process. This article is intended for everybody who wants to write a cross-platform application.

The article is devoted to the development of the library that implements the Diffie – Hellman cryptographic algorithm of key exchange. The library appeared as a result of the necessity to use the Diffie – Hellman algorithm without the involvement of any third-party libraries.
