note

A Twitter-like platform built in C++1 with profiles, posts, and follows, storing posts in a hand-rolled doubly-linked list and persisting them to MongoDB2. The list is hand-rolled because that was the assignment, not because MongoDB2 could not have held it: polymorphism, inheritance and manual memory management were the whole point.

note

A Twitter-like platform with profiles, posts and following, where the posts are held in a list built by hand rather than taken off the shelf, and then stored in a real database. The list is hand-built because that was the assignment, not because the database could not have held it: writing the structures, the inheritance and the memory management yourself was the entire point.
