| Seven from IBM -- system tuning, wireless, mobile games, J2ME . . . |
Oct. 10, 2003
IBM has published the following seven technical articles, tutorials, and downloads, on its developerWorks and alphaWorks websites. They cover a range of interesting (though not necessarily embedded) technical topics. Some require free registration. Enjoy . . . - Tutorial: Tuning Red Hat for maximum performance -- This tutorial details the ins and outs of transforming a stock, "out of the box" Red Hat installation into a finely tuned, stable system customized to individual needs and tastes. The material presented here is based on Red Hat 7.3, although many of the techniques and procedures discussed are equally applicable to other main stream Linux distributions.
- Start here to learn about wireless technology -- The developerWorks Wireless technology zone is a storehouse of hundreds of articles, tutorials, and tips that can help a developer make the most of wireless technology and its related applications. However, the volumes of resources can be overwhelming for users trying to discover where to start learning about wireless technology. With that daunting task in mind, developerWorks offers this page as an overview, or starting point, for users to learn about wireless technology. The page illustrates wireless basics within the overall context of the technology, especially as it pertains to application development and e-business. The page also delivers starting points in the form of relevant developerWorks articles, tutorials and tips, IBM learning services education, Webcasts, workshops, and IBM products.
- LPI certification 102 Part 4: USB, secure shell, and file sharing -- USB, secure shell, and file sharing -- the last of four tutorials designed to prepare you for the Linux Professional Institute's 102 exam. This tutorial introduces you to the ins and outs of using USB devices, how to use the secure shell (ssh) and related tools, and how to use and configure Network File System (NFS) version 3 servers and clients. This tutorial is ideal for those who want to learn about or improve their foundational Linux USB, networking, and file sharing skills.
- Build Python grid applications with the Globus Toolkit -- Want to build grid applications using the Globus Toolkit by using Python as the method for managing, executing, and submitting jobs to the Globus system? This tutorial explores the basic interface of the pyGlobus commodity kit and how it interacts with the Globus Toolkit to enable grid applications. As with any toolkit, Globus provides only a framework for the development of a grid and it's up to you to use the various components, allowing you to submit jobs, monitor their status, and communicate and transfer work around the network.
- Embedding a relational database server into Eclipse -- This article shows how to develop a plug-in that embeds the HSQLDB pure-Java relational database server into the Eclipse Workbench, the open source initiative to provide a platform upon which tool builders can develop their products that forms the basis of IBM's WebSphere Studio Site Developer, WebSphere Studio Application Developer and WebSphere Studio Enterprise Developer. Although not as powerful as DB2 and not as popular as MySQL, HSQLDB (the hypersonic SQL database) can satisfy the needs of a wide range of Java applications, because of its extensibility and low memory/processor requirements.
- PDA images with J2ME -- Its a good thing to learn how to download and display images with Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) and the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP). Bring images to your PDAs through simple J2ME and MIDP development. In this tutorial, J2ME expert John Muchow directs you in building two network-ready apps.
- Mobile Game applications need scripting too! -- The author, a mobile game developer, believes that scripting for wireless devices is important for proficiency sake. And with the need to scale mobile applications across so many different platforms, proficiency is everything. Read the author’s thoughts on scripting, as well as his ideas on wireless application development's future.
