Hi, my name is Olivier Langlois. I'm located in Montreal,Canada and I
graduated in electrical engineering at
E.T.S.
I have been in the telecommunication industry doing, among other things, embedded protocol stacks. I have also worked for the FAA to develop the next generation oceanic ATM system. I was in charge of ATM protocols. After a while, I needed new challenges so I made a jump for a short period of time in the video game industry by working for Quazal, an online multiplayer middleware provider for PCs and video game consoles such as the Xbox, the Xbox360, the PlayStation 2, 3 and Portable. I am currently working at StreamTheWorld doing Internet audio/video streaming. |
The main focus of this website is to present C++ Windows/MFC programming tutorials. However, since fractals and visualization of complex mathematical objects are among my hobbies, you can also find a whole section of my website dedicated to this topic.

Programming projects:
I played with Crystal Space, an object oriented framework written in C++ and I contributed a bit to this framework to make it a better framework.
