Have you ever wanted a nice system for being able to reference assets by name but you don't want to pay the price of comparing strings or constantly hashing (crc-ing) strings at runtime?

Now you can have best of both worlds. I've looked into various forms of hashing and making use of different techniques to find the quickest way to hash strings. In this article I'll explain what strategies are usually used and how you can achieve instant hashes.

While testing one of my Perl scripts I needed to have it build a source file for my C++ project. Instead of using a custom build step, which may not run if no other files changes, I decided to create a build rule for Perl scripts. It's still not perfect since it will always run the Perl script, but I got around that by adding intermediate file checking within the script itself. The build rule passes in the intermediate directory of the project as a parameter '-int $(IntDir)'.
