HTML tool: eLyXer 0.4.1

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

eLyXer 0.4.1 is a LyX to HTML converter, with a focus on flexibility and elegant output. LyX is a wonderful text editor which produces beautiful PDF files. Internally it exports documents to LaTeX, and from there to PDF. It can convert documents generated with LyX versions from 1.5.5 to 1.6.2 into valid HTML pages.

The output requires XHTML, CSS2 and Unicode; therefore a CSS2-compatible browser is required.

Minimum browser versions for some popular programs are: Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla Firefox 3, Safari 3 and Chrome 1. It requires Python 2.3.4 or higher

It consists of –

Select the translation based on document language.
Added em-dash — such as in this sentence, ■, \textup.
Added option –converter inkscape to use Inkscape as SVG converter.
Solved bug when numbering unordered unique parts such as Part* (thanks, Geremy!).
Show error instead of crashing when included document does not exist.
Support for all box styles. In CSS: switched to outline-style instead of border for boxes.

How can you reduce writing foreach() cycles?

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Php 5.3 – helps you to reduce writing foreach() cycles

At least in php. Php 5.3 has a solution that will reduce the average number of iteration structures you need to write: closures applied by plain old array functions.

There are some array functions which have already been supported at least from Php 4, and that take as an argument a callback whose formal parameters have to be one or two elements of the array. Let’s talk about array_map(), array_reduce(), array_filter() and uasort() (or similar custom sorting function.) These functions abstract away a foreach() cycle by applying a particular computation to all the elements of an array.

Back in Php 4 and Php 5.2, specifying a callback was cumbersome: you had to define an external function and then passing its name as a string; or passing an array containing an object or the class name plus the method name in case of a public (possibly static) method.

In Php 5.3, callbacks may also be specified as anonymous functions, defined in the middle of other code. These closures are first class citizens, and are treated as you would treat a variable, by passing it around as a method parameter. While I am not a fan of mixing up object-oriented and functional programming, closures can be a time saver which capture very well the intent of low-level processing code, avoiding the foreach() noise.

// obviously only the prime numbers less than 20
$primeNumbers = array(2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19);

// array_map() applies a function to every element of an array,
// returning the result
$square = function($number) {
return $number * $number;
};
$squared = array_map($square, $primeNumbers);
echo “The squares of those prime numbers are: “,
implode(’, ‘, $squared), “\n”;

// array_reduce() applies a function recursively to pair
// of elements, reducing the array to a single value.
// there is the native array_sum(), but the application of
// a custom function is the interesting part
$sum = function($a, $b) {
return $a + $b;
};
$total = array_reduce($primeNumbers, $sum);
echo “The sum of those prime numbers is “, $total, “.\n”;

// array_filter() produces an array containing
// the elements that satisfy the given predicate
$even = function($number) {
return $number % 2 == 0;
};
$evenPrimes = array_filter($primeNumbers, $even);
echo “The even prime numbers are: “,
implode(’, ‘, $evenPrimes), “.\n”;

// uasort() customize the sorting by value,
// maintaining the association with keys
// there is the native asort(), but again the customization
// of the function is more interesting
$compare = function($a, $b) {
if ($a == $b) {
return 0;
}
return ($a > $b) ? -1 : 1;
};
uasort($primeNumbers, $compare);
echo “The given numbers in descending order are: “,
implode(’, ‘, $primeNumbers), “.\n”;

Microsoft offers Visual Studio 2010 release candidate

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Microsoft has taken another step to release its Visual Studio 2010 IDE and the accompanying .Net Framework 4 programming platform, offering a release candidate (RC) for the paired technologies on Monday.

The RC stage is considered the last step prior to a general release, with developers able to offer final feedback. The launching of Visual Studio Microsoft has scheduled the launch of Visual Studio 2010 and .Net Framework 4 for April 12, after having scrapped an initial March 22 launch date to work on performance issues found by beta testers.

The downloadable release candidate was offered to MSDN subscribers on Monday, while non-members can get it on Wednesday. Visual Studio 2010 features capabilities for developing applications for the Microsoft SharePoint collaboration platform, Windows 7, and the Windows Azure cloud platform; .Net Framework 4 offers features such as a reduction in size.

According to S. Somasegar, senior vice president of the Microsoft developer division, the goal of RC is to get more feedback from you and ensure it has addressed the performance issues in the product. RC has made significant performance improvements specifically as it relates to loading solutions, typing, building and debugging.

General Manager of the Microsoft developer division, Jason Zander said in a blog post that Microsoft has received a lot of feedback on the Beta 2 release of Visual Studio 2010 and .Net Framework 4.

In particular many of you pointed out areas of performance where we were not at parity with [Visual Studio 2008] and it was impacting your ability to adopt the product, said Zander. Some of those areas of feedback included general UI responsiveness (including painting, menus, remote desktop and VMs), editing (typing, scrolling, and Intellisense), designers (Silverlight and Windows Presentation Foundation in particular), improved memory usage, debugging (stepping, managed / native interop), build times, and solution/project load.

Zander said, in December Microsoft Technical Fellow Brian Harry and I made the hard call to extend the Beta 2 period to continue to drive improvements into the product. Zander also added that Microsoft also is working with third-party companies with Visual Studio add-ins, such as Resharper and CodeRush, to make sure the environment works well.

Developers can report feedback on the RC.

In other software development-related happenings at Microsoft, the company and NBC this week are reporting that the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in technology for rich Internet applications will again be used for online Olympics video coverage this month at NBCOlympics.com. Use of Silverlight for the 2010 Vancouver winter games follows the use of Silverlight for the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

Symbian 3 Goes Open Source, But Nokia Ties Remain

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Now, the Symbian mobile operating system is completely open source. On Thursday, the Symbian Foundation released Symbian 3, the latest version of the platform.

The mobile world continues forging an open strategy with the open-sourcing of Symbian along with the Google’s Android operating system that invites handset makers to further customize and differentiate their products.

According to Haydn Shaughnessy, CEO of Cogenuity and editor of the Symbian Foundation’s blog, the open-sourcing a market-leading product in a dynamic, growing business sector is unprecedented. “Over 330 million Symbian devices have been shipped worldwide, and it is likely that a further 100 million will ship in 2010, with more than 200 million expected to ship annually from 2011 onwards.”

Is the Future Open Source?

Symbian’s transition from proprietary platform to open source is the largest in software history. The Symbian Foundation insists the open-sourcing of the platform lays the foundation for unlimited innovations in mobile development.

According to Lee Williams, executive director of the foundation, the development community is now empowered to shape the future of the mobile industry, and rapid innovation on a global scale will be the result. “When the Symbian Foundation was created, we set the target of completing the open-source release of the platform by mid-2010, and it’s because of the extraordinary commitment and dedication from our staff and our member companies that we’ve reached it well ahead of schedule.”

Any individual or organization can use and modify the code for any purpose under the terms of the Eclipse Public License, whether that be for a mobile device or something else entirely. Symbian’s commitment to openness also includes complete transparency in future plans, including the publication of the platform road map and planned features up to and including 2011. Anyone can now influence the road map and contribute new features.

According to IDC analyst John Delaney, it’s increasingly important for smartphone platforms to offer developers something unique. “The placing into open source of the world’s most widely used smartphone platform emphatically fits that bill. It will be exciting to see where this takes the industry.”

Mobile OS Competition

Despite rolling out ahead of schedule, questions around Symbian’s success in the open-source realm remain. Symbian is still inextricably linked with Nokia, despite the fact that the handset maker set it free and established a foundation around it.

Open-sourcing Symbian is a positive development in light of competition with Android, Gartenberg said, but the resources required to optimize and customize Symbian may deter some handset makers from straying away from Android and Windows Mobile.

“The basic problem that Nokia has with its bulk of ownership of Symbian is the quintessential issue. How do you license something to someone else when you are competing with them?” Gartenberg asked. “Will other handset vendors view even an open-source Symbian as still being primarily a Nokia product and part of the Nokia ecosystem? If so, they may not want to contribute.”

Google tailoring tablet computer software

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Google tailoring tablet computer software

Though an iPad has commanded the technology world’s attention, Google quietly continued working on tablet computer software that could run rivals to Apple’s latest creation.

An image of what a Google tablet might look like were featured at a Chromium developers web page on Tuesday along with talk of how touchscreen controls could work based on the Internet titan’s Chrome computer operating system.

The images were posted online two days before the January 27 event at which Apple unveiled an iPad tablet computer that will begin shipping worldwide in March.

According to Google Chrome lead designer Glen Murphy, you may have seen our Chrome OS tablet concepts from last Monday; in the video, some floating hands interact with a touch surface.

Google made images and video of Google tablet gesture control capabilities available online for developers to consider.

The “concept user interface under development” could signal another front on which Google will battle with Apple, which uses its own custom software in the iPad, iPhone, iPod, and Macintosh computers.

The website focused on Chrome OS software and did not indicate whether Google would make its own tablet or opt to let others tend to the hardware.

Google’s mobile Android software is built into iPhone competitors, including the Internet firm’s own Nexus One smartphone released in January.
