New Year, New Adventures in Software Application Development

| In 2010, developers will learn to let go and
| adapt to a centralized resource pool,
| continuous testing will eclipse continuous
| integration, coffee breaks will get shorter,
| open source CI tools will buckle in big
| shops, and distributed software
| configuration management tools will cross
| the chasm from open source projects to the
| enterprise.

Embedded programming languages
,----[ Quote ]
| A long time ago when I first started at IBM
| I used an editor named XEDIT that ran under
| the VM/CMS operating system on mainframes.
| It was a fullscreen, line-oriented editor
| that looks primitive now but was quite
| sophisticated in its time. One of the best
| things about it was that it was scriptable:
| you could write very sophisticated programs
| that could manipulate files and their
| contents. XEDIT really became powerful when
| used with the REXX programming language and
| many of my thoughts and philosophy about
| embedded languages were formed during my use
| of REXX.

Social Hosting, Good Parenting Are Keys to Open Source Success
,----[ Quote ]
| Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool
| which allows you to write web code using an
| easy-to-understand plain text format.
| Markdown text is then converted to
| structurally valid XHTML (or HTML). Markdown
| is used all over the web â itâs even
| understood by the content fields and comment
| forms within most popular blogging
| platforms, including WordPress and Movable
| Type. Itâs been ported to Python, Ruby, PHP
| and other popular languages.
|
| However, the original Perl script has
| remained largely unchanged since its release
| in 2004. In his post, Atwood takes Gruber to
| task for what Atwood calls âbad parenting,â
| an indictment of Markdownâs lack of bug
| fixes, updates and improvements.
|
| Markdown was released under a BSD-style open
| source license, meaning the community can do
| pretty much whatever it likes with the code,
| so long as it respects the copyright notices
| and naming rules. Indeed, many ports of
| Markdown enjoy rather widespread support
| with numerous contributors and an aggregate
| community of active developers that the
| original Markdown lacks.

Make a Python game in minutes with Gloss
,----[ Quote ]
| In this tutorial, I'm going to walk you through what it takes to
| make a simple game with Pygame + Gloss. All the code is already
| written (and I think you'll find it very short!) so it's just a
| matter of explaining to you what it does and why. We used Linux
| (naturally), but both Pygame and Gloss should work fine on Windows
| too - make sure you have Pygame, Python OpenGL and Gloss
| installed, and if you're on Linux you'll also need the Numpy
| Python module.
