| 10 from IBM -- Wireless, GUI diets, Linux vs. Pocket PC, Java tools, code contest . . . |
Sep. 17, 2004
IBM has published the following technical articles, tutorials, and downloads on its developerWorks Website. They cover a range of interesting (though not necessarily embedded) technical topics. Some require free registration. Enjoy . . .
- Linux Links Wirelessly -- You say you prefer to work in Linux? All the better -- and it doesn't mean you have to be left out of the freedom wireless computing brings you. This tutorial teaches you how to configure a wireless network card under Linux. Upon completion, you'll know how to set up a Linux laptop for wireless transmission using Gentoo distribution as an example.
- What do you do with a fat GUI? -- Recently we were given the assignment to reduce the memory footprint of a fat client. While the term "fat client" often is used to mean an ordinary GUI client application, in this case the client was nearing obesity. This article shows you how to change a fat client to a slim one. As with people, dieting is hard work for Java applications, too! And just like dieting, it always seems to take longer than you'd like to lose that flab.
- Why run Linux instead of Pocket PC? -- An obvious question to consider before getting into the details of installing and using Linux on your iPAQ is, why switch to using Linux from PocketPC 200x? Avoiding the vastly overused "because you can" response, there are actually a number of valid reasons.
- A developer's guide to evaluating Eclipse vs. Netbeans -- By now, most Java programmers have heard of Eclipse, the extensible open source development platform that is rapidly becoming the most popular IDE for Java programming. If you are considering a move to Eclipse and are currently programming with Netbeans, this article is for you.
- JRuby is a priceless addition to Java development -- JRuby combines the object-oriented strength of Smalltalk, the expressiveness of Perl, and the flexibility of the Java class libraries into a single, efficient rapid development framework for the Java platform. This article introduces JRuby, a sophisticated addition to your Java development toolbox.
- IBM Sponsoring Linux on POWER Developer Contest -- A chance to win prizes for doing what you love to do--develop and port open source applications! The Linux on POWER Open Source Developer Contest aims at showcasing innovative new open source applications designed specifically for Linux running on the PPC architecture. It offers a unique opportunity to have innovations recognized--and at the same time win some fantastic prizes. Prizes Include: Toyota Prius, Apple Power Mac G5 from Terra Soft Solutions, Inc. and Cash Prizes. U.S. residents only.
- Software craftsman vs. Software Factories -- UML is like a collection of tools, a craftsman's toolbox which provides the skilled craftsman the ability to work on different aspects of a task. The domain specific language approach seems to be working towards what some in the industry term "Software Factories". In this vision there are no craftsman, no master tradesman, journeyman, only task specific production line workers. The following blog entry by Alan Brown, who is responsible for future product strategy of IBM Rational's Design, discusses both software development models and shares whats best suited for overal quality of a SW solution.
- Grid application performance - Find the Sweet Spot -- Grid computing is gaining ground in the enterprise. Learn about a simple methodology to help you find the balance between units of work and results sets when tuning grid-enabled applications under strategies 1, 2, and 3. That's the sweet spot.
- Install, configure, and use this grid open source framework -- This article shows you how to install and configure the Community Scheduler Framework. Then you'll learn how to perform basic setup of the queuing system and how to create and submit jobs to the scheduler. The code samples give you plenty of information to play with.
- Petrobras Turns to Linux, Grid and IBM -- Petrobras, one of the largest oil companies in the world, has chosen a Linux-based Grid comprised of IBM eServer BladeCenter systems to speed deep-sea oil exploration in the state of Espirito Santo. This is the largest collection of BladeCenter servers implemented by IBM Brazil and one of the largest in Latin America.
