Not a programmer, still a Developer
It doesnt seem TO be a consensus IN the community regarding the meaning OF the words programmer AND developer so I feel free TO give my opinion ON this.
A source-code marketplace
Just discovered Binpress , a source-code marketplace where software developers can buy and sell source-code from each other: Our goal is to create a market complimentary to free open-source, in which professional developers have an incentive to produce and distribute professional, tested, production quality code. Software ventures and development projects can purchase feature-sized code packages, reducing time and costs and allowing them to focus on the unique problem they are trying to solve.
Forum discussion: Relationship between Programs, Models and Systems
I don´t usually announce IN the blog new forum threads (you can subscribe TO the portal´s main feed FOR this) but I find the ongoing discussion ON the relationship BETWEEN programs, models AND systems (AND now also including LANGUAGE vs notation replies AND MORE) specially interesting. Have your saying!
Who owns the copyright when implementing an algorithm described in a journal?
Curious question IN the business OF software forum : “If I implement an algorithm published in a computer science journal using the formulas, pseudocode and description in the publication, do I retain the copyright of my source code?”
The New Executable UML Standards: fUML and Alf
IN this SECOND post (READ the FIRST one here ), Ed Seidewitz talks about the new executable UML standards: fUML AND Alf. AS editor OF the fUML specification AND PRIMARY author OF the Alf specification (apart FROM Vice President OF Model Driven Architecture Services AT Model Driven Solutions ) who better than him TO DESCRIBE these new standards?. Hope you enjoy his post!
Another grammar zoo
Frédéric Jouault sent me the link OF another collection OF grammars (IN this CASE FOR SableCC) TO ADD TO my collection OF grammar samples FOR popular languages/domains.
Collection of grammar samples
If you need a grammar for your language/schema/metamodel chances are that you can find it in one of the following collections of grammars:
What (some) programmers offer to do for just 5$
Fiverr is the place for people to share things they’re willing TO do FOR $5.
If you go TO the programming category you can see the list OF programming tasks people ARE willing TO do just FOR 5$. I think we should NOT sell so cheap! (AND TO the people ordering these services, do NOT complain about the quality OF the service, FOR that price I would NOT expect too much testing). IMHO, SOME programmers should take SOME basic finance courses.
Gremlin – a graph-based programming language
Gremlin IS a new Java DSL “designed specifically for the analysis and manipulation of key/value-based, directed, multi-relational graphs”
Since models can be represented AS graphs, Gremlin could be useful TO implement MORE easily many OF the typical model manipulation operations
haXe – a multiplatform language
Via Eelco Visser I discover haXe, a multiplatform LANGUAGE.
So far, haXe programs can be compiled TO Flash, JavaScript, PHP AND C++. haXe provides:
- a standardized LANGUAGE WITH many good features
- a standard library (including DATE, Xml, Math…) that works the same ON ALL platforms
- AND a platform-specific libraries : the FULL APIs FOR a given platform ARE accessible FROM haXe.
