comment Is having C++ header files without extension a good practice?
@kotlinski There's no way to improve anything, but there are ways to make things worse. This discussion is as pointless as the spaces-vs-tabs discussion. Just pick one convention and go do something useful.

comment Is having C++ header files without extension a good practice?
@kotlinski This is one of those cases where there's nothing you can do to improve the situation because anything you pick is a matter of preference. Actually, having some extension, I'd say, is better than none, because the OS (read, Windows) can determine what program to open the file with based on the extension.

@sbi But sometimes macros can be useful. Look at BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE, or BOOST_FOREACH.

comment How should I organize my source tree?
@gbjbaanb Yeah, I guess. It doesn't really matter since that directory doesn't get pushed to the repository. :) I called it 'build' because that's what the IDE I was using att called it (Visual Studio).

comment Single-responsibility and custom data types
@rwong Isn't it already a one liner? You only need one line, whether you load a Font directly or through the ResourceManager. And what stops me from reimplementing the RM if users complain?

@rwong I know of that presentation, I had a bookmark to it (video). :) But I don't understand what you're saying in your other comment...

comment Hiring Developers - Securing Source Code
Safe from what? A contract should be good enough to prevent them from outright stealing the code. As for them copying the features... there's not much you can do about that. You could try to divide the team such that any one developer only knows about his specific module and nothing about the others (if that's possible).

comment Future-proofing myself when learning to program
Are you just starting programming? Then don't learn more than one language at a time, it'll just get you confused. What you need to learn at the beginning are the concepts, not the languages. You should only move to new languages when you are required to. For example, I've only recently felt the need to go into scripting languages, and that's because I decided to make my game scriptable with Python.
