One day, there’s some one came to me and intent to start learning Java programming, she asked a lot about Java and it’s technology. One of her question based on her story-told is how can we make a Java application which is able to generate an array of prime number?, the problem is, I have forgotten what is the definition of prime number it self, so we had a problem to make the application that will appropriate with her idea. ha..ha..ha..(what an excuse…!!!).

The W3C social networks workshop is already a blast and it hasn’t happened yet! We received a record number (72) of interesting position papers from a wide range of key players. Have a look at the impressive list (papers and submitters) and you would certainly agree with me that this workshop is likely going to have an important impact on how the users (you and I, and kids the world over) are doing and will be doing in the social Web space

Sony and Intel are teaming together to provide better COLLADA export/import for Max and Maya. The German company Netallied  has been working on a brand new implementation, and the result of this work is now available in Beta on sourceforge Previous version of the exporters and importers were using a temporary storage mechanism. First the Maya/Max internal structure was browsed to create a COLLADA in-memory snapshot, and then this snapshot was exported in XML.

The blog link below is an interesting example of why Intel should be supporting COLLADA (which we do btw). This user wants to enhance the quality of her photoshop work by using 3D objects with shaders applied, and use (and interchange) different DCC tools to achieve her best model effect. Unfortunately due to weak exporters (FBX or COLLADA), shaders are not exported as well as they could be, thus there is no easy way for end users to use the high end shaders they create in a DCC tool (and supported on their good quality graphics cards)

I meet with a lot of our users in my role at Rogue Wave, and one of the things that I’ve heard from a few people lately is the term “Java envy”.  When I ask what they mean by that, they’re not referring to the language itself.  C++ developers like the control they have over memory usage and predictable performance.  What they’re talking about are the multitude of developer tools that are available for Java development. Rogue Wave has always strived to be the leader in providing C++ products and tools to make developers more productive.  One of our products, HydraEnterprise, continues that goal.  HydraEnterprise provides the ability to create, orchestrate and deploy services to a runtime.  It can create web services, as well as native C++ and Java services, BPEL, data access and others.  It also comes with some developer tools that make doing all those tasks much easier.  The tools are Eclipse plug-ins that allow you to create services within an easy to use GUI, taking advantage of the editors within Eclipse.  You can create WSDL files, generate service wrappers, orchestrate the workflow between services and deploy to the runtime very quickly.  If you would like to see this demonstrated, we have an online tutorial series where one of our sales engineers will create and deploy a C++ service in under 30 minutes.  Send an email to tutorial@roguewave.com indicating your desire and you will receive an email with the details for the next demonstration.

Irène Vatton has just announced the availability of the latest Amaya version, namely Amaya 11 . (For those who may not know what Amaya is, it is an open source (X)HTML browser and editor in one.) The interesting point in this release for Semantic Web users is that Amaya “understands” RDFa . What this means is that, when using the RDFa DTD (which is one of the DTD-s that Amaya offers for any new document), Amaya knows about all the RDFa attributes (i.e., @about , @resource , etc), i.e., one can use the usual user interface features of Amaya to add and edit them.

In the first installment of this post, I discussed the move that all of the major computer hardware vendors have made toward multi-core CPUs, and the resulting Multi-core Dilemma .  I then summarized their strategies in two categories: homogenous and heterogenous. In Part 2, I’ll talk about pros and cons of each approach and some things to think about as you plan your parallel strategy
