This is something I never thought I’d hear myself say - or maybe I should say, see myself type - about an Apple operating system: Mac OSX Leopard was released before it was ready. This operating system needed more testing on more systems with more hardware, and especially, more software configurations. The days of Apple [...]
Software programs are often made to run on systems that are completely different from the system in which the program is coded or developed. This process of adapting software across systems is known as porting. This article shows you how to port your software from one environment to another.
Jeeesh I have been working on [...]
What’s a poor, lonely Linux developer to do? Where are all the good support sites? How am I going to fix that troublesome bug? These are questions that even novice code writers no longer have to ask. The classic view of a lonely, isolated programmer writing code for some obscure open source project in [...]
Well, that was true, (for about 36 hours) but it didn’t last long!
I wasn’t surprised to see a “fix” for Apples attempt to put an end to the Linux, IPod friendship.

The continuing rise in popularity of Linux applications has become a boon to job opportunities for software programmers. However, the working culture of the open source industry is different from that of proprietary software developers. Code writers looking for a job as Linux developers need a unique set of job skills and work ethics [...]
Five years ago, the only engineering or computer science majors setting their sights on a career in writing software code for an open source company were the most hardcore of computer nerds. That was something done only by the true computer geeks, and it usually required an independent source of income. Experienced programmers knew [...]
We’re Big John and Holly Bergevin, and together we built this site

provide demo examples of interesting CSS behaviors,
and show how to “make it work” without using tables
for layout purposes.
A handy site, I found completely by accident!

If you want feedback on the contents of your Web site, let your visitors rate your pages. Some content management systems include this functionality by default, but if yours doesn’t, you can add rating capabilities with AJAX Star Rater, a PHP/MySQL application that allows you to display AJAX-ified star rating bars on any Web page.
(And [...]
VLC is unique among Windows players in that it doesn’t require installed codecs and drivers to play back media content. Why this approach? VLC originates in the Unix/Linux world where there’s no such a thing as Windows codecs. It has been designed to use built-in decoding algorithms from the beginning. Some of the codecs were [...]
This article is the first of a three-part series about developing an end-to-end Ajax application using an open source middleware stack. If you’re a novice Web developer who can read and understand the code written in XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and SQL, this article is for you. After you’re done, you will have a good [...]
