# Functional Java ← http://www.natpryce.com/articles/000776.html
Functional Java is an open source library that seeks to improve the experience of using the Java programming language in a production environment. The library implements several advanced programming concepts that assist in achieving composition-oriented development. Functional Java is written using vanilla Java 1.5 syntax and requires no external supporting libraries. | 27.07.2010 14:47 Uhr |

Google's release of App Inventor for Android is set to cause the biggest change in the mobile app development industry this year. All of a sudden, app consumers have the chance to become app creators. In fact, the site claims that you need no programming experience to write your apps, instead using a drag and drop approach build on the Open Blocks Java library. As well as adding in user interface related functionality, blocks exist for communicating to services such as Twitter.  | 12.07.2010 15:15 Uhr |

Mongoose is a javascript library that makes working with MongoDB a breeze. Mongoose is currently designed to run within the Nodejs environment. Mongoose aims at solving the complexities associated with asynchronous data storage by providing a more intuitive API. Mongoose also provides the ability to define data models that act as a gatekeeper protecting your data. Models offer typecasting on field, validation, default values, output formats and more. | 20.05.2010 13:06 Uhr |

# join diaspora
Enter your Diaspora seed, a personal web server that stores all of your information and shares it with your friends. Diaspora knows how to securely share (using GPG) your pictures, videos, and more. When you have a Diaspora seed of your own, you own your social graph, you have access to your information however you want, whenever you want, and you have full control of your online identity. Once we have built a solid foundation, we will make Diaspora easy to extend to facilitate any type of communication, and the possibilities will be endless. | 10.05.2010 11:06 Uhr |

# Sammy.js, CouchDB, and the new web architecture
Welcome to the new world. HTTP Databases and JSON Storage. The simple act of making the database and the browser more powerful on either end has destroyed the need for the middle tier. In the new architecture, Our database (JSON/HTTP based: CouchDB, Cloudkit) serves data as JSON directly to the browser. On the browser side we create a much smaller/tighter ?controller? layer with JavaScript. This handles the directing of the user to the right place, the displaying of the data to the user, and the conversion of user interaction into state + data. This middle piece is jQuery + Sammy.js. | 22.02.2010 14:02 Uhr |

# Tahoe-LAFS: a P2P filesystem that lets you use the cloud without trusting it ← http://www.boingboing.net/2010/02/05/tahoe-lafs-a-p2p-fil.html
Tahoe-LAFS is a p2p filesystem. You pool your spare hard drive space together with that of your friends. This forms a distributed filesystem which endures even if some of your friends' computers are unreachable. Everything is automatically encrypted, so backing up your files onto the distributed filesystem doesn't necessarily mean sharing the files with your friends. But, it is easy to share specific files or directories with specific friends. It comes with a command-line interface and a web interface. If you choose, you can allow remote HTTP clients to connect to the web interface. | 07.02.2010 20:47 Uhr |

MongoDB was used to cater to a very specific subset of the application functionality, where we felt it made a better fit than a traditional RDBMS. This hybrid architecture of data organization is turning out to be an increasingly attractive option today with more and more specialized persistent storage structures being developed | 25.01.2010 15:09 Uhr |

The social network will also include the ability to post real-time status updates. And Salesforce is tapping into the real-time stream that will feature status updates, not only from people, but also from content and apps. Content will notify users in the Salesforce Chatter feed when new or updated content is available. Apps will join the conversation by posting when there is a change in status, like when an opportunity closes or a case is escalated in Salesforce CRM. | 04.01.2010 16:08 Uhr |

# Prettt-tty, pretty, pretty good!: A Scala success story: commercial usage of Scala at ClariFI
nuScala is an interesting language. It doesn't really impose any particular view on you of how to write software. Everything from higher-order functional code to low-level imperative programming is well-supported and moving between these paradigms is seamless. On the other hand, there's so much to the language, and the features aren't all totally orthogonal, that it sometimes feels a bit clunky to me. But it is without a doubt an exceedingly practical, powerful language. | 18.09.2009 11:02 Uhr |

# Manga about running Ubuntu
Ubunchu, a manga-style comic for kids about the joys of running the Ubuntu Linux operating system (this post is being composed on an Ubuntu laptop -- the only OS I've used for a couple years now*). It's a free, CC-licensed PDF, and it's been translated into a very large number of languages, and there are more editions to come. | 21.04.2009 22:41 Uhr |

# Google uncloaks once-secret server
Google's big surprise: each server has its own 12-volt battery to supply power if there's a problem with the main source of electricity. The company also revealed for the first time that since 2005, its data centers have been composed of standard shipping containers--each with 1,160 servers and a power consumption that can reach 250 kilowatts.  | 02.04.2009 19:41 Uhr |

# Eucalyptus
EUCALYPTUS - Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs To Useful Systems - is an open-source software infrastructure for implementing "cloud computing" on clusters. The current interface to EUCALYPTUS is compatible with Amazon's EC2 interface, but the infrastructure is designed to support multiple client-side interfaces. EUCALYPTUS is implemented using commonly available Linux tools and basic Web-service technologies making it easy to install and maintain.  | 23.03.2009 23:10 Uhr |

# appscale
AppScale is an open-source implementation of the Google AppEngine (GAE) cloud computing interface. AppScale enables execution of GAE applications on virtualized cluster systems. In particular, AppScale enables users to execute GAE applications using their own clusters with greater scalability and reliability than the GAE SDK provides. Moreover, AppScale executes automatically and transparently over cloud infrastructures such as the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Eucalyptus, the open-source implementation of the AWS interfaces.  | 23.03.2009 23:09 Uhr |

# Abstract Heresies: Not Lisp again....
Argh! Not that again! What is it with Lisp? Ok, maybe at Harvard they do that sort of thing, but this was MIT! Don't they hack computers here? | 05.03.2009 21:21 Uhr |

# Abstract Heresies: I hate Lisp
It was 1981 and I was taking my first real computer course at Harvard. I was rapidly discovering that *real* programming sucked. Big time. | 04.03.2009 09:51 Uhr |

# Why GPSes suck, and what to do about it
I?m the lead of the GPSD project, a service daemon that monitors GPS receivers on serial or USB ports and provides TPV (time-position-velocity) reports in a simple format on on a well-known Internet port. GPSD makes this job looks easy. But it?s not ? oh, it?s decidedly not ? and thereby hangs an entertaining tale of hacker ingenuity versus multiple layers of suck. | 24.02.2009 14:07 Uhr |

Programming is not fun. It?s boring, it?s tedious, and it?s certainly not challenging. And no matter how much you stretch it, programming is most definitely not sexy. | 18.02.2009 15:48 Uhr |
