When I look back at the blog items I post linking to interesting developer essays and articles, many of them are originally from osnews.com. OSNews is a frequently updated blog that posts lots of small items every day. While nominally about operating systems, they really cover a much broader domain including websites and technology companies. They do an outstanding job of bringing early attention to interesting technology essays that I don't see mentioned elsewhere.

Why Small Programs Can Take Years To CompleteHere's a review of Dreaming in Code and an interesting discussion of some of the factors that can make finishing programs take far longer than they otherwise might. One way to look at Salon co-founder Scott Rosenberg's new book, "Dreaming in Code: Two Dozen Programmers, Three Years, 4,732 Bugs, and One Quest for Transcendent Software," is as an attempt to tell the story of a specific software development project -- the effort by industry legend Mitch Kapor and a band of ace programmers to create Chandler, a kind of turbo-powered personal information management program that would dazzle users with its ability to enhance their productivity...

The MicroISV Show: A Show on Small Software BusinessesMicro-ISV stands for "micro Independent Software Vendor", which is basically just a fancy name for a tiny software (shareware) company (usually consisting of just 1 or 2 people). They are already up to show #10: Joining Michael Lehman as co-host of The MicroISV Show is Bob Walsh, Managing Director of Safari Software (www.safarisoftware.com), author of "MicroISV: From Vision to Reality", author of the soon to be published "Clear Blogging", and proprietor of 3 websites which are useful to the MicroISV community: www.mymicroisv.com, www.todoorelse.com and www.clearblogging.com. http://channel9.msdn...ws/The_MicroISV_Show |

For Programmers: The wxAUI LibrarywxAUI is an open-source advanced user interface library that aims to make it easy to implement "cutting-edge" interface usability and design features for wxWidgets applications. I was poking around this morning looking at various bits of Python stuff and I came across wxPython's wrapper around wx.aui. I am a fan of Eclipse RCP and this looks like an attempt to build something similar via wxWidgets. wxAUI uses the concept of a "perspective" in a manner similar to RCP. There are panels which can easily be dragged and repositioned. I'm going to try using it on one of my smaller apps. WxAUI page: http://www.kirix.com...aui/about-wxaui.html See also: wxDockIt. |
