PVS STUDIO - PROMOTION

This episode is sponsored by the PVS-Studio team, who promote static code analysis methodology in general and its PVS-Studio tools in particular.

Static code analyzers allow you to find bugs in source code at the development stage. This helps to reduce the price of fixing them.

PVS-Studio performs code analysis and issues warnings on the fragments of code with a high probability of having bugs and potential vulnerabilities in them.

The tool supports C, C++, C# and Java, and it can work with Visual C++, GCC, Clang compilers, and some of those for embedded systems.

The analyzer works on Windows, Linux and macOS.

PVS-Studio can both be used as a stand-alone tool and also integrated with Visual Studio, IntelliJ IDEA, or SonarQube.

In the show notes, you can find links to the PVS-Studio website and the article ‘Technologies used in the PVS-Studio code analyzer for finding bugs and potential vulnerabilities’.

Mon, 30 Jul 2018 08:00:00 +0000

Mon, 23 Jul 2018 08:00:00 +0000

http://cynicaldeveloper.com/podcast/87/

Stuart Mitchell is the CEO of the IoT start-up mokanix, which is a Tata Communications business incubated in the company’s ‘Shape the Future’ programme.

The inspiration for mokanix came from wondering why mobile operators didn’t allow access to some of their core control functionality via easy-to-use APIs.

The venture has been established to see what us software developers could make given greater control and security on their mobile data connections.

Stuart is an industry veteran and innovator.

His career in wireless telecommunications spans over 20 years during which time he has worked in a variety of cutting-edge vendors: both large corporates and start-ups.

His experience is as diverse as radio paging and internet security solutions and Stuart worked at the forefront of both VOIP and photo messaging: both of which we take for granted today.

Stuart started his career as a broadcast engineer and still has a passion for playing and listening to music and podcasts.

He is usually found in airport lounges or speaking to customers while walking his over-enthusiastic dog in the fields near where he lives.

PVS STUDIO - PROMOTION

This episode is sponsored by the PVS-Studio team, who promote static code analysis methodology in general and its PVS-Studio tools in particular.

Static code analyzers allow you to find bugs in source code at the development stage. This helps to reduce the price of fixing them.

PVS-Studio performs code analysis and issues warnings on the fragments of code with a high probability of having bugs and potential vulnerabilities in them.

The tool supports C, C++, C# and Java, and it can work with Visual C++, GCC, Clang compilers, and some of those for embedded systems.

The analyzer works on Windows, Linux and macOS.

PVS-Studio can both be used as a stand-alone tool and also integrated with Visual Studio, IntelliJ IDEA, or SonarQube.

In the show notes, you can find links to the PVS-Studio website and the article ‘Technologies used in the PVS-Studio code analyzer for finding bugs and potential vulnerabilities’.
