Developer Linux News for Jul 25, 2008

MobileMe! For Ubuntu/Gnome? (2008-07-25 18:30:02)
James Hooker: "A couple of the guys I was
eating lunch with, Steve Burch and Chris Rose, explored the idea of
integrating X within web browsers so we could directly port desktop
applications to the browser.(As opposed to poor AJAX
implementations we are seeing all over the place) Of course this
has the big floor that if we went to auntie Maud's windows machine
with IE, we wouldn't be able do anything… which would
suck"

More Perl One Liners For Linux Or Unix (2008-07-25 18:00:02)
The Linux and Unix Menagerie: "Almost time for
the weekend, so I thought we'd go back and look at some more simple
Perl one-liners. Note that this post is not really meant to be
educational in any way, but maybe it'll help someone out there
somewhere. If anything, it should pass a good 5 to 10 minutes of
your time when you could be doing something useful ;)"

OSCON: Google Melange will spice up SoC (2008-07-25 17:30:02)
InternetNews: "oogle's Summer of Code (SoC) has
been around since 2005 as a way to get students involved in open
source. But according to Google program Manager Leslie Hawthorne
the Google system used for managing the projects within the SoC
hasn't been all that great. So Google is developing a new
collaboration platform called Melange (based on the concept of
Melange / spice from Frank Herbert's Dune novels)."

Google Opens Its Templating Technology (2008-07-25 12:00:02)
OStatic: "Google is on a roll. Hot on the heels
of releasing its internal Protocol Buffers data interchange format,
it has open-sourced Google XML Pages (GXP). Though the project page
reports this as version 0.2 beta, don't be fooled: according to a
presentation about the technology, this is the templating language
behind AdWords, Blogger, Google Reader, Google Analytics, and other
properties."

The Stateless State: Remembering what you were doing five minutes ago on the Web (2008-07-25 11:45:02)
IBM Developerworks: ""State" is a central
concern of all sorts of distributed applications, but especially of
Web applications, as HTTP and its derivatives are intrinsically
stateless. Clear thinking about how data persists across
retrievals, sessions, processes, and other boundaries can help you
improve your Web applications, both present and future."

Build a RESTful Web Service (2008-07-25 11:30:02)
IBM DeveloperWorks: "Representational state
transfer (REST) is a style of designing loosely coupled
applications that rely on named resources rather than messages. The
hardest part of building a RESTful application is deciding on the
resources you want to expose. Once you've done that, using the open
source Restlet framework makes building RESTful Web services a
snap. This tutorial guides you step-by-step through the fundamental
concepts of REST and building applications with Restlets."

JBoss jBPM Concepts and jBPM Process Definition Language (jPDL) (2008-07-25 11:15:02)
Packt: "JBoss jBPM is built around the concept
of waiting. That may sound strange given that software is usually
about getting things done, but in this case there is a very good
reason for waiting. Real-life business processes cut across an
organization, involve numerous humans and multiple systems, and
happen over a period of time. In regular software, the code that
makes up the system is normally built to "do all these tasks as
soon as possible". This wouldn't work for a business process, as
the people who need to take part in the process won't always want
or be able to "do their task now"."

Richard's Dream and Institutionalized Mental Illness (2008-07-25 00:35:53)
Linux Today Blog: "Way back in the very olden
days, or so the story goes, Richard M. Stallman was motivated to
launch the Free Software movement because of something that
afflicts us to this day- crappy binary-only printer drivers. How's
that for innovation? 38 years later and we still have sucky printer
drivers..."
