Development Utilities 6 years later -- My misinterpretations of life -- Michael Lucas-Smith

http://www.michaellucassmith.com/20100730%20Development%20Utilities%206%20years%20later.html

Development Utilities 6 years later. Return to home page. Six years ago I wrote a blog post about development utilities that I used on a day to day basis. In VisualWorks. I stumbled across it in a Google search today and I thought it'd be interesting to contrast what I was using back then with their status today. ProgrammingExtensions - This is as useful as it was back in 2004, specifically for the extension that lets you middle click on a widget and inspect it. FileProgress - This parcel is still around...

http://www.michaellucassmith.com/20100601%20Response-%20The%20pitfalls%20of%20Object%20Oriented%20Programming.html

Response- The pitfalls of Object Oriented Programming. Return to home page. I read this PDF a year ago and recently it popped up on my radar again. So I read it again and absorbed more this time than last time. The PDF is The pitfalls of Object Oriented Programming. And it is a really interesting read. The author jumps around a bit. I mean, who cares about the history of C , get on with your point please. ManyXs do: [:eachX eachX myY updateYourInformation]. He further analysed his data structures and rea...

Disappointed, Australia my home -- My misinterpretations of life -- Michael Lucas-Smith

Disappointed, Australia my home. Return to home page. I've been living overseas for a year and a half now and from time to time i hear the big stories from Australia. I follow media watch as much as I can to hear what's going on from a more critical point of view. Did we suddenly become Communist Russia while I wasn't looking? So you have distrust on both sides. Too bad, because I cannot personally support a secret war. Another area of disappointment from my homeland of late has been the continuing saga ...

http://www.michaellucassmith.com/20100804%20Making%20WebVelocity%20apps%20look%20like%20iPhone%20apps.html

Making WebVelocity apps look like iPhone apps. Return to home page. Recently I was asked to make a demo application that makes a standard WebVelocity application using scaffolding with active record look and work on the iPhone. There are three tricks to making a web page look like a native iPhone app: 1) colours, 2) orientation detection, 3) animations. In this demo I show off #1 and #2 and leave #3 for any adventurous jQuery users out there.

http://www.michaellucassmith.com/20100730%20WebVelocity%201.1%20is%20here!.html

WebVelocity 1.1 is here! Return to home page. As you read this (assuming you're not reading this months from now) the final product media is being cut and burnt and tested. The software is done and as proof of that, you can actually start using it right now. On Amazon Web Services. We wanted to make it super easy to get up and running this time around. With version 1.0 you had to run your own server or pave your own path to run it on top of Amazon EC2. This time we come packing with a complet...Now can y...
