Container Classes

I've polished up the container classes I use to manage objects and have written up a tutorial on how to use them.

Here's the link!

Any suggestions on how I can make my API, code, or tutorial simpler?

Maybe you need a more comprehensive intro to what container classes are and/or why they are useful. I'm wondering what the advantage here is over using Blitz's types.

Thanks for the feedback. I've rewritten the Overview section and hope things are clearer. Does it make sense now and answer what you were wondering about?

EDIT: Note that they're not a replacement for Blitz's types.

To really understand I'll have to go through the examples later, but already the rewrite helps a lot. Now I have a better understanding of what they are, although I still don't see the point.

I'm hoping to get the overview articulate enough to let people know why they want to keep reading - without relying on having people grok anything more than very simple example code. I've revised the overview again, adding information on the limitations of the basic object organization strategies. I hope it's not too bloated now.

I'm planning on adding a few example scenarios to explain when container classes would be useful.

*** REVISED OVERVIEW AGAIN ***

Any feedback or interest in these? I use them all the time, after growing fond of the C++ STL equivalents. If no one has interest, I might as well stop updating the code archive entries.

I'm quite interested in these, the linked list class looks very useful and the project i'm working might also make use of hash tables too...

Very handy stuff - great contribution to the community!

It certainly can't hurt to have some bullet-proof STL-like code ready to drop into Blitz... keep up the good work. I'm sure I will use this at some point...

Now if you will excuse me I have some big rocks to move and I am thinking of chipping four of them into round shapes and putting them at each corner to see if it helps move things more easily ;-)
