Sun ha lanciato JavaFX 1.0, piattafroma software  di cui ci siamo già occupati in tempi non sospetti. La notizia è stata ripresa da Slashdot. Purtroppo leggiamo anche che non c’è al momento una versione per Linux o Solaris: “The lack of a Linux or Solaris release is a notable absence.” Però la presenza del codec On2  (usato per riprodurre i filmati di youtube) lascia pensare che javafx voglia competere frontalmente con Flash.

There is a future for SmallTalk? I was a very strong fan of the SmallTalk language, but in the last five years I have seen more and more contraction of its usage in the IT field.

The OLPC project, which uses also Squeak Smalltalk and its done by the core team fo Squeak, is not going very well.

Hi all, ObjectsRoot now has correct story ordering ontags view!

I am happy to announce I have just installed tinymce on my site.

TinyMCE is a very nice javascript editor, also used in Drupal. What makes tinymce very nice in my humble own opinion, is its easy installation. You do not need complex init procedure: you just tell tiny you want to edit well textareas, and it will do all for you. Because django  (my web framework for the site) has a bit complex way for handling administration pages, this is good news for objectsroot.com.

I think ajax is a very new technology, but with too much hype on it. I think we’d try to do simple things with it, avoiding too much bloated interfaces.

I have found a good ibm article with shows “In-place editing” avery easy way to get a more responsible site. Finally the same article points to Prototype window, a very easy to use windowing system.
Happy hacking!
