Data Structures - AVL Trees

AVL Trees are self balanced binary search trees. Most of the functions for the AVL Tree are the same as the functions for binary search trees. Included is my c++ implementation of the banking assignment we used a link list for. I have converted this program to use an AVL Tree instead of a linked list. This program reads in account data from a file, searches for an account, and outputs all account data to the screen and a file.

Windows Longhorn aka "Vista" Beta 1

So I finally took a little time and installed Longhorn/Vista onto a virtual machine. There were no problems during setup, in fact I was very impressed with the GUI that accompanied the setup process. However I was disappointed when I actually booted into w
Windows. It basically is an enhanced Windos XP. I thought it had a very "MAC" look to it but other than some nice viual styles I really could not tell a big difference from XP. One thing I do not like is the way it handles network logins. You have to specify your domain in the username box which I feel like is asking a lot from some network users. Also, the tabbed browsing in IE 7 could be implemented better (if you are going to rip it off from Firefox then at least make it work the same). I will do some more playing and maybe I will find some features that change my mind.

First Post

So I just created this Blog while sitting here in class today. I had a professor suggest that maybe we keep a blog, so I figured I would give it a try and see if I can keep posts up on it regularly about school, projects, leisure activities, etc...
