In doing so, GIS Planning became one of the first developers anywhere to successfully integrate this technology. http://googledeveloper.sys-con.com/read/538210.htmhttp://googledeveloper.sys-con.com/read/538210.htm Thu, 10 Apr 2008 09:15:00 GMT Now, what Google announced is really exciting! I'm not kidding. It's even better than I hoped. Yes, it's only Python, but IBM's PC-DOS was only BASIC and Pascal when it first came out, and it didn't matter. Yeah, I preferred C, but I coded in Pascal because that's what you had to do to get an app running. What you're going to see here that you've never seen before is shrinkwrap net apps that scale that can be deployed by civillians. That's a mouthful, but that's what's coming. Why? Because here is a standardized platform that can be stamped out in the billions of units. Maybe Google can't do it, but the perception is that they can. Who is willing to stand up and say Google hasn't nailed scaling? What PCs did in the 80s, Google is doing now. PCs took the black magic out of owning a computer. http://googledeveloper.sys-con.com/read/471968.htmhttp://googledeveloper.sys-con.com/read/471968.htm Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:45:00 GMT In keeping with the longstanding SYS-CON tradition of being at the very forefront of software development with all its online and offline resources, SYS-CON Media & Events jointly today announced a double whammy, launching both 'Open Web Developer's Journal' (http://openweb.sys-con.com) and 'Open Web Developer Summit' (http://openweb.sys-con.com) - to be held for the first time in New York City April 21-22, 2008. http://googledeveloper.sys-con.com/read/171162.htmhttp://googledeveloper.sys-con.com/read/171162.htm Sat, 31 Mar 2007 15:15:00 GMT I am sure that most of you have heard about or have had a chance to use Google Maps. It's a great service and I was really impressed by the responsiveness of the application and the ease with which users could drag and zoom maps from a Web browser. It has in many ways heralded the arrival of AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), which I am sure will revitalize Web development in the days to come. http://googledeveloper.sys-con.com/read/346554.htmhttp://googledeveloper.sys-con.com/read/346554.htm Wed, 07 Mar 2007 18:15:00 GMT You know, despite all the modern Smartphones, and my new Treo 750v, I still always have a hankering to go back to my Palm Treo 650. The ease of use is still just fantastic compared to just about anything I've ever used...the apps are great, really functional. Yes, it has its problems, its not WiFi, the camera is..well its dodgy as we know
