Oct 27, 2006 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — viewsIBM has published the following new technical articles, tutorials, and downloads on its DeveloperWorks website. They cover a range of interesting (though not necessarily embedded) technical topics, primarily related to Linux and open source system development. Some require free registration. Enjoy . . . !
- A Cliffs Notes guide to the mobile video market — Mobile video is moving just a bit faster than the speed of life, these days. Sprint has just announced its intention to test a video-to-the-handset service called VUE, Qualcomm has hopped on board with its MediaFLO transport mechanism, and users are clamoring for peer-to-peer content on the go. This article runs the numbers on video to go, go, go and explores what's coming soon to a handset near you.
- Debugging Make — Most UNIX and Linux programs are built by running make. Make and utilities like it are fundamental tools for streamlining the application build process. Learn the structure of the makefile, how to avoid common mistakes in its creation, and how to solve or work around portability issues and other problems as they crop up.
- A Meaningful Web for Humans and Machines — In this series of articles we'll examine the existing and emerging technologies that enable machines and humans to easily access the wealth of Web-published data. In this first article, you meet the human-computer conflict, learn the criteria used to evaluate different technologies, and find a brief description of the major techniques used today to enable machine-human coexistence on the Web.
- Chop up del.icio.us RSS feeds the way you want it — The combination of open, flexible Web APIs and content uploaded by users and maintained in user networks is the true 2.0 of Web 2.0. In this article, you'll learn how to use the Amara XML Toolkit to download and parse the del.icio.us RSS feeds and JSON, Python and Javascript to incorporate only what you want into your own Web site.
- Friendlier RSS and Atom with XSLT stylesheets — One of the challenges for webmasters is that RSS and Atom are still very new and few people have heard of them, fewer still understand how to use them and have the right software installed. This article shows you how to put a friendly face on an RSS or Atom feed with XSLT stylesheets. Until they are more widely known and understood by the masses.
- MyFaces and Facelet Java-based MVC Web apps — Build dynamic, Java-based Model-View-Controller Web apps using the powerful trio of Apache Derby, Apache MyFaces, and Facelets. The ready-to-download sample application in this article uses a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture to illustrate the power of the MyFaces components and the ease of developing with Apache Derby and the latest view technology, Facelets.
- Cookbook for Apache Geronimo install in minutes — Get a cookbook-style guide for downloading, installing, and configuring Apache Geronimo. Not a chef? No worries. There are two basic methods for setting up Geronimo, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. This article covers both methods and presents some of the arguments for and against them. It gives you step-by-step instructions on getting Geronimo up and running in minutes. And the nice thing is there won't be any dishes to clean up after you're done. This meal will be well worth it when it's properly prepared.
