KeyNote – Building Applications for the Cloud with Amazon: Was an interesting Keynote. Most of the stuff was not really new to me but at the numbers are always impressive. SmugMug presented their Solution which is really impressive. They are doing all their processing in the cloud by amazon and are very happy with that. [...]
I was really impressed what the Red Hat guys have done to make C/C++ programming easier. A few years ago I developed SW in C++ for Linux and it was a real pain to memorize all the command line option for all these (useful) development tools. The Linux Distros/Tools integrate some of these tools into [...]
The Glassfish developer make a big effort on the modularity of the server. And if I can trust their talk, they made a great job. You have only to include the modules you realy need. Glassfish v3 uses OSGi for module management and all Glassfish modules are OSGi modules. But it doesn’t directly depend on [...]
It’s a very interesting possibility to use the same code base for RCP and Web applications. But this will not replace RCP applications, and single sourcing is of course not for free. You have to divide your code in common part, a RCP part and a Web part. This can be done via bundle fragments [...]
Designing an Android Domain Specific Modeling Language using EMF, GEF and GMF: I was really impressed how easy it is to develop an application for Android with the modeling tool they build it is really strait forward to build the interaction within an diagram. I really would like to compare the platform of the iPhone [...]
I haven’t understand people twittering around until now. Arrived at EclipseCon 2009 I looked around and found everybody twittering. I had an account there for some time now and because I had time and wanted to try what it means to twitter i started. I’m doing this now for two days and I really have [...]
This talk give a short overview how eclipse evolves from an IDE over a RCP to the server side. As a conclusion you can say, that the “cloud” and “p2″ is everywhere. On top of p2 you can (must) build your own SW deploy system.
Not the sexiest part of the eclipse ecosystem, but everyone who is doing something useful with the eclipse RCP has to deal with the eclipse resource framework. The resources in the workspace are represented as tree. Eclipse makes a big effort to make the cost (eg. for rebuilding the source code) proportional to the changes [...]
As the title let you mention the tutorial was about bringing an Eclipse RCP into the web. The idea of single source for desktop and web is not new, but in the last time more and more projects start providing a framework that may really work in the field. Rap is providing a bridge of [...]
I was searching for some papers today and found an interesting project from Microsoft. Most of the websites that provide papers search functionality are hard to read and look like they where developed in the 90′s. The Microsoft Academic Search (Project) implemented two nice (not new) ways for showing the information. Below you can see [...]
