Seven from IBM — Kuro box, embedded perl, art of debugging, future of software tools . . .
Dec 17, 2004 — by Henry Kingman — from the LinuxDevices Archive — viewsIBM has published the following technical articles, tutorials, and downloads on its developerWorks Website. They cover a range of interesting (though not necessarily embedded) technical topics. Some require free registration. Enjoy . . . !
- PowerPC development from the bargain basement — The Kuro Box promises something fairly interesting: a usable single-board PowerPC computer, for only US$160 — when other PowerPC development boards often cost ten times as much. A LinuxDevices.com article on the Kuro is available here, as well.
- Embed Perl scripting in C applications — You get the benefits of an established language to expand the functionality of your application in a flexible way without users having to rebuild the application to use it. In this tutorial, you'll learn a process for embedding a scripting language into an application. You'll see how to build the application and how to provide wrapper functions that support full argument and return value support.
- Learn the Art of debugging — Debugging software is challenging. Without a process to follow, resolving problems can seem impossible. Most inexperienced coders find themselves in precisely that situation when confronted with a bug. Programmers have an opportunity to distinguish themselves most clearly when confronted with difficult bugs to solve, so a positive atitude is key to success. This article walks you through a sample problem-solving session to learn the art of debugging and highlight six essential elements of the debugging process.
- The Future of Software Tools — Alan Brown had a press interview with InformationWeek where they asked what he thinks are some of the important trends for the future of software tools. He covers which areas are changing the kinds of software tools being delivered, and the features the tools support. See his response to “Pay-per-use” software tools, Connecting business with IT, and more…
- Burning CDs on the Linux Command Line — Linux offers powerful, flexible tools for creating CDs. You can create disks that are readable on almost any platform and create .iso files for download and distribution.
- IBM gives innovative tool for unstructured data — the Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) SDK is a software architecture and framework for supporting the development, integration and deployment of search and analysis technologies. Use this Java based multi-platform tool to analyze large volumes of unstructured information (text, audio, video, images, etc.) to discover, organize and deliver relevant knowledge to the client or application end user. Learn more about the Unstructured Information Management Architecture SDK on IBM's alphaWorks website.
