jQuery for Complete Beginners: Part 1
Friday, March 19, 2010 @ 22:39:03 CET by tw45admin (41 reads) |  This is the first part of our new series walking you through the process of learning the hugely popular JavaScript library jQuery from scratch. We’ll start slowly and each week add some more knowledge to your skill set and this will lead us on to doing much cooler stuff with the library. This series is aimed at people who have a strong knowledge of HTML and CSS, so if you don’t have a working experience of those two languages I suggest you learn those before coming back to this. jQuery aims to make JavaScript more accessible for the less ‘hardcore’ developer. For example, there are many cross browser issues with regular JavaScript that jQuery deals with - it does a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure your experience is much more simple and enjoyable...

Simple OpenOffice.org-based Document Management Solution
Friday, March 19, 2010 @ 20:44:14 CET by tw45admin (55 reads) | If you're toying with the idea of creating a document management solution using OpenOffice.org Base, you don't have to start from scratch. Sergio Corato, the developer of the nifty FastMailMerge extension, has released a beta version of a simple document management database built with OpenOffice.org Base. Although this is a pretty bare-bones database, its core functionality covers all the basics. You can create multiple clients and attach an unlimited number of documents which are neatly organized into separate folders. Note, though, that the database doesn't store the documents, but only their absolute paths. You can also select any document and open it in an appropriate application (the current version supports only OpenOffice.org files and PDF documents). Of course...

Novell Gets Ready To Release Pulse and Federation with Google Wave
Friday, March 19, 2010 @ 19:04:07 CET by tw45admin (65 reads) |  Novell is providing the first glimpse of Pulse, its new real-time collaboration service. The new service will eventually fully integrate with Google Wave. This version does not include Google Wave as part of its service. But there is an expectation that eventually the integration will serve as a federated platform that may serve as the basis for new open-source collaboration efforts. Novell is releasing the service initially to analysts and participants at BrainShare, its user group meeting next week in Salt Lake City. Each person will get to invite one new user, Novell will provide a fuller release in the next few months. A release at the end of the year will include OpenID as a core aspect of the platform.

Code Optimizers Can Make View Source Useless
Friday, March 19, 2010 @ 17:42:46 CET by tw45admin (38 reads) |  HTML, CSS and JavaScript have always been visible to the interested end user. Whether through the good old view source option in your browser, or something a bit more sophisticated - like developer favorite Firebug - the code has always been there to learn from. It’s part of what makes the open web open. But when it comes to JavaScript, it’s possible that openness may soon be a thing of the past. Alex Russell, developer of Dojo JavaScript Library, recently posted a follow up to his SXSW panel, worrying that tools like Closure obfuscate code to the point that it renders view source meaningless.

CrossOver Linux 9 review
Friday, March 19, 2010 @ 15:04:09 CET by tw45admin (70 reads) |  CrossOver Linux 9 (codenamed Snow Mallard) and its Mac brother, CrossOver Mac 9, let you run many popular Windows applications on Linux or Mac OS X. Supported Windows applications include Microsoft Office (from Office 97 to Office 2007), Internet Explorer 6 and 7, Outlook 2002 to 2007, all current versions of Quicken up to 2010 and QuickBooks up to 2004, and some versions of Photoshop and Photoshop CS. Based on my experience with CrossOver, which goes back more than a decade, I'd say this new version supports about 20% more applications (at a level that most users would find usable) than the last one..

Mark Shuttleworth: "This is not a democracy"
Friday, March 19, 2010 @ 15:01:07 CET by tw45admin (73 reads) |  After Mark Shuttleworth's recent comment regarding the decision to put the Metacity window buttons on the left, the debate is more intense then ever. In a recent comment (posted a few seconds ago), Mark Shuttleworth states that:
We all make Ubuntu, but we do not all make all of it. In other words, we delegate well. We have a kernel team, and they make kernel decisions. You don't get to make kernel decisions unless you're in that kernel team. You can file bugs and comment, and engage, but you don't get to second-guess their decisions. We have a security team. They get to make decisions about security. You don't get to see a lot of what they see unless you're on that team. We have processes to help make sure we're doing a good job of delegation, but being an open community is not the same as saying everybody has a say in everything.

Ubuntu 10.04 Button Rearrangement Becomes Hot Topic
Friday, March 19, 2010 @ 13:59:11 CET by tw45admin (66 reads) | The new window buttons in the next Ubuntu release are creating a lot of hot heads and much misunderstanding. The issue has gone way beyond just the button arrangement. It's not a bug but a feature: in the upcoming Ubuntu 10.04 the buttons to minimize, maximize and close the window are on the left hand edge of the window. Even though the arrangement can be reverted to its original right hand design by using a simple script, the nervy redesign has led to a hot discussion in the Ubuntu bugtracking system, in which Mark Shuttleworth himself is now involved.

Will The Linux Desktop Soon Be Irrelevant?
Thursday, March 18, 2010 @ 15:43:33 CET by tw45admin (157 reads) |  We’ve all been hanging out for the “year of the Linux desktop” (whatever that means) but we’re still waiting. Let’s face it, we’re going to be waiting for a while. Is it because Linux isn’t yet good enough? Hardly. These days there are few barriers to adopting Linux, primarily issues relate to the requirement for a specific Windows based application, proprietary devices, or perceived complexity of this strange new system. Is it because Microsoft has too strong a hold on the market? Well, that certainly does help to hinder Linux adoption. Whatever the reason, in the end it might not actually matter at all.
Can anyone really predict the future of "the Linux desktop"? See what Christopher Smart has to say about it at linux-mag.com.

It should include everything you need to work with the Python framework for the Web. The platform for the Django Developer Kit Appliance is the free Red Hat CentOS, although the appliance uses the Conary package manager. Maciel also includes a code snapshot from the upcoming Django version 1.2. The Apache webserver and the SQLite and PostgreSQL databases complete the picture.
