Looking at doing some C++/OpenGL coding today, perhaps along with some other various C++ coding.

Thinking I may look at sketching out a ‘real’ multicast protocol for securely sending data. The protocol I put together for Draeger is proprietary information but it is also crippled by the limitations of the devices that it needed to support. I think a design that is more modern and can use https for credential management and uses public key cryptography can be put together that would be superior (on devices with hardware that is relatively modern) and support dissemination of information over a multicast network with excellent security and acceptable network impact. This would give me something I can share that is based on things I’ve learned when implementing the design that Draeger needed. Definitely worth thinking about.

Later in the week I want to do a little windows forms coding and see if I can project the OpenGL coding into a windows forms HWND. After that I’ll probably do a bit of WPF coding and do a bit of 3D along with some practice with LINQ features I’ve not generally made use of in the past.

The java spring work is interesting but will likely be pushed off towards the end of the week. There are many cool features in there but that is a bigger lift and doesn’t deliver the relatively quick benefits that C# and C++ exercises do at this time.

More later today…
