WWDC Fallout | CR 02

Michael and Chris cover the items from WWDC that they think developers will be impacted by, discuss the Facebook pressure, and reflect on hardware updates announced.

Plus your love for HTML5, the beginnings of a Jupiter Broadcasting app, what programming languages / platforms are best for a beginner to learn for the purpose of getting a job.

  • Brett would like to know what programming languages / platforms are best for a beginner to learn for the purpose of getting a job.
  • Should we do code samples? E-mail your thoughts.
  • The people demand HTML5!

iOS 6 / Mountain Lion

Hardware Changes

Tool of the Week

    Don’t mean to be bad but I did built you an app and there is several hundred installs. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jupiter.broadcasting.live.tv and code samples sound boring

    That’s not bad at all. I’ll take a look at your app when I have a chance. If you are interested in feedback on the app please message me on Google+ or Twitter (@dominucco:twitter )

    SSD’s are fine and all, but with the price of Ram being what it is, I’d rather create a Ramdisk ;) tons faster!

    I don’t see the source, but in the description it claims that it is open source. The closest thing I could find was the apk file, but that doesn’t let us into the java files,  only the xml. 

    While I’m not thrilled about an html5 based app, I do think it would work. At the very least, do not  do an iOS app as it requires the developer to be using mac products.Code samples are boring, but pointing to tutorials on how to do nifty things are not.

    Yo Shane!

    I want to work with you on this project too, it’s more about having a project for the show. But if we are really going to go at this, I’d like to work with you since you have done great work already.

    I’ll be looking up for your contact info and chatting more over email!

    The source is on my blog its linked to in google play but here it is any way. http://ubuntuone.com/21IQstzm2BHNChl0QMomfz. I think its the latest version.

    You lost my interest and actually pissed me off with: “An open source community app… to get in the app store it has to be a non-copyleft license.”  To me the whole point to learn programming is to enjoy my freedom and to give that freedom to others who want to code. So I would only want to license it under GPL.  Writing for a phone or any device is great. Learning how to install CODE that YOU create or someone you trust creates on ANY device that you own and ought to be able to control… PRICELESS!

    Have you seen Emscripten? (https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki Take a look at the demo’s!) It is a LLVM back-end for compiling LLVM IR to JavaScript. Emscripten makes it possible to trans-compile any LLVM supported language (C, C++, etc.) to JavaScript. In this case JavaScript is used like an assembly language. I’m not saying that JavaScript is an assembly language, however like source code has to be compiled into machine code to run on the metal, it can also be compiled to JavaScript to run in the browser.

    I think this is a great step towards a more language agnostic web. Browsers only have to support a single language while the programmer can choose what ever is best for his project. Personally I don’t care all that much whether browsers support JavaScript, x86 assembly or something else, however currently JavaScript is the standard.
