The question we’re discussing daily with potential users of TelemetryHub is, ‘can I instrument my system with OpenTelemetry?’ And the answer is almost always ‘yes.’ Well, mostly. Any system with internet access can report data via the OpenTelemetry standard. And anyone can use an OpenTelemetry Collector to filter, compress, and limit data being sent over the internet to an OpenTelemetry Endpoint. All is well and good, but what most people want to know is ‘how well will open telemetry instrument my language and framework?’ C++ C++ has most of the pieces that need to be instrumented with OpenTelemetry The current…

The lesson is that programming languages tend to have many similarities, and once you know one programming language, you can learn another by figuring its syntax and structure. In the same spirit, Jim’s article compares how different programming languages read and write data. Whether that data comes from a configuration file or from a…

Most programming languages have some similarities, so once you know one programming language, learning the next one is a matter of figuring out the unique details and recognizing the differences. To help me practice a new programming language, I like to write a few test programs. One sample program I often write…
