Welcome to Better Than Null! The site is my outlet for sharing useful and intersting information I learn while working on hobby projects. My primary goals are to become a better writer and developer. I welcome any and all criticism of my writing, ideas, and code.

My biggest project outside of work is game development. Much of my free time has been devoted to working on a simple C++ game engine and editor for it. Since it is my largest project most of my blog articles will be related to it. The engine is constructed using C++, CMake, and SFML. The editor is written using nw.js (node-webkit), typescript, and several useful open source libraries.

I am a big fan of learning to use tools well. To that end many of my articles will be focused on tool and language use. I plan to write articles on using C++, CMake, vim, nw.js, and typescript.
