I recently spotted that Python 3.5 has added yet more features to make coroutines more straightforward to implement and use. Since I’m well behind the curve I thought I’d bring myself back up to date over a series of blog posts, each going over some functionality added in successive Python versions — this one covers more of the asyncio module that was added in Python 3.4.

I recently ran into some odd font sizing issues when viewing my website on my iPhone and discovered a few interesting tidbits about rendering on mobile browsers along the way.

C++ streams have their advantages, but in some ways they’re a downright pain.

I find myself needing to enter UK addresses on a fairly regular basis and it never fails to amaze me how poor some of the syntax checking is - basic validation of a UK postcode is really not even remotely difficult.

Time zones can be tricky beasts, particularly where daylight savings time is concerned. This post discusses issues around apply them to something like the ubiquitous Unix cron daemon.

After eighteen years there’s a new version of HTTP. Having heard comparatively little about it until now, I decided to take a quick look.

I’ve finally started to look into the new features in C++11 and I thought it would be useful to jot down the highlights, for myself or anyone else who’s curious. Since there’s a lot of ground to cover, I’m going to look at each item in its own post — this is the second of the final two that cover what I feel to be the most important changes to the standard template library.
