Do you use java as your mainstream programming language? Do you have your favorite IDE? I bet you do! But hey, don't be shy, go ahead and try NetBeans IDE, you will be pleasantly surprised.

It's one of the best productive IDEs available in the market today. It's open source, and freely available for all. What are you waiting for? :)

Zoho and G.ho.st

Last month (22 Feb 2008/Fri) I signed up for AdventNet's office productivity suite called Zoho.
Being web-based, all applications from the suite are OS independent. I found the whole application quite successful in many ways.

Also, same week, I started testing the g.ho.st (an online OS). These two online products are really worthwhile to pay attention.

Go try them, you won't be disappointed.

PS: I wonder who will attempt to buy them first :) (MS, big G, well I guess not Yahoo, maybe big Blue)?
PPS: Writing about this post reminded me another product that I use and like for a long time: Virtualbox. It is a very good virtualization product for x86 machines. It was developed by a German company (innotek GmbH), and recently bought out by Sun Microsystems. Sun also recently (26 Feb 2K8) completed the acquisition of popular open-source database company and their flagship product called MySQL.

iPhone SDK

I know, It's little late to mention this, but I think it is better late than never :)

Apple recently (6 March 2K8/Thr) released the elusive iPhone SDK! Good news for the developers. Looks like Google's Android and iPhone will infuse the technology world with lots of new opportunities.

Microsoft's giving students free access to its developer tools!

Late today (18 Feb 2008/Mon), MS announced the DreamSpark project that opens up access to many students in the world (currently 11 countries listed). Looks like Bill Gates is trying to intensify MS's RIA competition with Adobe.

Again, related with with the web-wars, we will also see what would happen to the MS's Yahoo bid soon :)

Some of the tools available through DreamSpark:
  • Visual Studio
  • XNA Game Studio
  • Expression Studio
  • Windows Server (standard edition)
  • SQL Server developer edition

San Diego JUG Meeting - 20 November 2007/Tue

Bruce Eckel was with us at our JUG meeting last night and it was pretty good one. The topic was "Java Issues & Directions".

More info can be found here:

San Diego Barcamp was cool

I attended the SD barcamp couple weeks ago, and I was pleasantly surprised how dynamic and cool it was. Definitely, it's a must-go-event. I would highly recommend to everyone who wants to hear and share information about technology, hacking, Web 2.0 and beyond...

By the way, barcamp is a spin-off of foocamp which was organized by Tim O'Reilly. Whereas foocamp is invitation-only, barcamp is open to everyone who is interested in the technology and web. It is basically small workshop-events whose content is provided by participants.

I reclaimed my blog-spot here at Blogger.com :)
