What Should We Teach New Software Developers? Why?

Dec 25, 2009 · Esther Schindler

I can't see why you can't be taught both CS and Technical skills. If people have no practical skill that's bad but it would be all that bad if all they learnt are techniques which as we know are rapidly deprecated. Theory + Practice not one nor the other.

Are you doing agile or are you doing waterfall with some agile practices?

Jul 05, 2009 · admin

As it said "Forget about documentation" I don't agree: I don’think Agile is about forgetting documentation, it’s rather about not waiting for the final documentation before starting to code. This is the concept of iteration where you will refine the software following a progress spiral like the founder of Modern Quality Management advocates in his Deming’s Wheel or PDCA (Plan Do Check Action): http://statistical-process-control.org/dr-demings-revolution/

Why Linux will never catch up with Windows as long as …

Jun 29, 2009 · rebol tutorial

Well I would be happy, I'm not against Linux, I'm against lack of objectivity. I have long kept saying IE was better than Firefox until Firefox stabilizes. Now I'm saying Firefox is better than IE. So I will be ready to say Linux is better than Windows when I will have objective facts for that. I don't care much about the stats, but since you mentioned it, I query Google and from what I read here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-9910263-16.html "Linux went from 1.25 percent in May of 2007 to 2.02 percent in March of 2008. That is 61.6 percent increase in market share in nine months. [Put another way,] that is 82 percent annual growth in installed computers." 61.6% from ... 1% : reminds me of gov or media trick, stats never lie of course :)

TextUML Tutorial

Jun 29, 2009 · Justin Sargent

TextUML requires Eclipse. If you need some other UML Scripting Tool without the need to download Eclipse and above all to be able to interface with your batch tools (as I inted to do with Rebol), I found some good ones see here: http://www.dzone.com/links/desperately_looking_for_uml_scripting_tools_final.html Maybe TextUML is able to be interfaced by command line also ? Just tell me, I'm interested.

5 Reasons Why the World Still Uses Windows – Can Linux Ever Catch Up?

Jun 29, 2009 · Tony Thomas

Once upon a time there were two graphical OS: Geoworks and Windows. But something was lacking in Geoworks: A spreadsheet application. People don't remember this anymore especially Geeks. They can't also remember that People in Enterprise at the very beginning of the PC, were ordering a PC it just because of Visicalc the first spreadsheet ever conceived. Linux still don't have a decent Office Suite for Business Power Users. I am part time trader and I still can't use Major Trading Softwares on Linux. I don't care about Windows or Linux, I do only care about what Real World Applications they can offer. Why Geeks seem never catch this simple equation ?

Interesting, I'm thinking about mixing it with my own DSL for generating C# code : http://www.dzone.com/links/implement_a_c_code_generator_using_a_domain_speci.html By the way DSL can be used on top of code generation for code generation.

Implement a C# Code Generator using a Domain Specific Language

Business Readable DSL

Jun 28, 2009 · Alvin Ashcraft

I don't think it's good to have a Business Readible DSL that would directly generate code. I think there should be an architecture of multiple DSL layers, for example one that is suitable for Business to generate detailed specifications or functional tests, other for programmers to generate code.

An Approach to Composing Domain-Specific Languages in Ruby

An Introduction to Functional Languages

Jun 26, 2009 · James Sugrue

Beware of PFL (Pure Functional Language) limitation: Carl Sassenrath's explains the concept of referentially transparency (RT) in Functional Programming and why REBOL 1.0 was first PFL (pure functional language) but was then relaxed on later version: "That fact made REBOL's implementation very complex, but more importantly it made its execution 30 times slower than REBOL 2.0 that followed it. " http://www.rebol.com/article/0206.html

REBOL - Finally I consider it!

Is PHP Ready for the Enterprise?

Jun 25, 2009 · Stefan Koopmanschap

PHP,javascript and any other scripting languages are like Visual Basic in the old Desktop day: though widely used, they will never be considered as true OOP language. My favorite scripting language is Rebol, I use it to automate a lot of functional spec, code generation in C# or Java, people wonder how I can work 3 times faster than anybody : I hope C# and Java will continue to dominate because that's how I get the advantage :)

Agile is Dead

Jun 25, 2009 · Thierry Lefort

If you read the founders, you would know that Agility and Lean comes from the philosophy of Deming's Quality (see http://statistical-process-control.org/dr-demings-revolution/ ) the original (Lean) Quality Management which has subverted by so called Six Sigma or ISO which has nothing to do with Deming. Deming / Shewhart basic idea is the spiral of continuous progress of PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Action or Correction) which is itself based on the scientific principle of Aristotle. Modern "Gurus" reinvent the wheel without even sometimes refering to the Founders, as for followers, they don't understand the Fundamental Principles, just the slogans which have no operationality. Operationality is very important in the thought of the Quality Founders that's why Deming wrote in his 14 points of Management: Eliminate the use of Slogan ( http://statistical-process-control.org/deming-14-points/ )

Have you ever looked at Rebol ? Unfortunately marketing cost is huge so it is not well known. See http://rebol.com and http://reboltutorial.com For example to send an email to a friend, type send johndoe@yahoo.com "Hello my friend" it's mostly english. What if you want to send to a list of friends ? Put list in brackets: send [ johndoe@yahoo.com jaimie@yahoo.com ] "Hello my friends" Try to do that in other languages it's impossible in one line

"At all cost ?" I don't think the financial guys would agree :) As for agility this is nothing really new, people are rediscovering Deming's Continous Wheel of Progress that is contrary to what is taught in Business Schools: http://statistical-process-control.org/dr-demings-revolution/

Jun 20, 2009 · Tony Thomas

Well my main problem with Linux is not really about the OS it's about the "Ecosystem": I cannot find advanced users softwares, for example trading softwares like Forex Metatrader. I don't want to have multiple OS installed or get 2 PCs so I will stay with Windows.

Native code makes a comeback - except it never went away

Jun 20, 2009 · Joseph Volcy

The huge majority of developers don't work for software editors who need cross-platform, they work in Fortune 500 who have chosen either Windows or Linux and so they don't care so much about cross-platform but about opensource (free) or not. So Managed Code will be dominant because the cost of human resources far outweight the cost of performance with managed code and for most business applications it is not even proved that the gain is visible.
