(Untitled)- May 7, 2002 Jaguar, next major Mac OS X update coming this summer. MacCentral: Jaguar will “come with Rendezvous, Apple’s proposed new industry standard for automatic discovery of computers, devices and services on IP (Ethernet, AirPort) networks. In other words, the technology will let Macs automatically recognize other computers on a wired or wireless network and share files with each other or, theoretically, with other digital devices. In his keynote, Jobs demoed streaming music files off of.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100001/categories/code/2002/05/06.html#a119 (Untitled)- May 7, 2002 Joel on .NET. Your friend and mine Joel Spolsky has done the impossible: he's said something I disagee with. But I hardly ever choose a language based on syntax. Yeah, I prefer the ; languages (CC++CJava). And I have lots of opinions as to what makes a "good" syntax. But I wouldn't accept a 20 MB runtime just to get semicolons. You're a smart guy, Joel, so it surprises me that you think much of this 20MB redistributable (especially coming from a world with an already large redistributable)....http://radio.weblogs.com/0100001/categories/code/2002/05/06.html#a118 (Untitled)- May 7, 2002 Back and Forth We Go... :-). Whee! Indented italics is me, non-indented italics is Justin. (Clearly I need to bring back my comments system...) It'll be hard (politically) for companies to choose libraries that aren't in general use, because it'll be hard to find engineers that are familiar with those libraries. So for the next few months, no one is going to use .NET because no one knows it You left off the part where I spoke of standards. People are learning .NET even moreso because it's...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100001/categories/code/2002/05/06.html#a117 (Untitled)- May 7, 2002 More Joel Comments. I agree with Sam that .NET gives you a lot for your 20MB. ... But (you knew there was a but right), I'm starting to see the same type of productivity increase in C++. The trick is to find class libraries and frameworks that make your life easier. Justin Rudd's Radio Weblog I both agree and disagree. On the question of libraries, I do agree (partially) that you can get much of the benefit of using the BCL. However, you'll probably have to invest a lot more time "auditioning"..http://radio.weblogs.com/0100001/categories/code/2002/05/06.html#a116 (Untitled)- May 6, 2002 This is a fair history of what's happened in the NeXTstep - OpenStep - OSX world since the early 90s. Steve Jobs and the History of Cocoa, Part One. O’Reilly: “In this first part of a two-part series, Simson Garfinkel and Michael Mahoney explain why Cocoa and Mac OS X aren’t nearly as revolutionary as they are evolutionary—and still in the process of refinement. The story begins with Apple’s genesis in the 1970s and takes you through key events up through 1993,...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100001/categories/code/2002/05/06.html#a115 |
