Greeting Readers,

There has been considerable discussion lately on the impact and meaning
of open source and its role in computing:
http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/02/is_open_source_1.html
Mark Rosenthal gives us some insights on how some design engineers from
Digital Equipment Corporation helped bring the movement into existence
with "How an Accident of Hardware Design Encouraged Open Source."
Check it out here:
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2007/02/22/open-formats-open-source.html

If you want to watch HD TV on a remote computer, Erica Sadun explains
how in her article "Stream Live HDTV from Your Mac." So you probably
know you can sit in front of your Mac and watch TV, but what if you want
to watch in your living room or bedroom simultaneously? See how to
build a remote video streaming solution.

You can read and comment on the article here:
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2007/02/20/stream-live-hdtv-from-your-mac.html

Blogs

On the blog front, M. David Peterson owns the top spot with "Hi, I'm an
IPod," "and I'm a Zune," and as you can imagine, the partisan diehards
came out to comment on the posting:
http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2007/02/hi_im_an_ipod_and_im_a_zune.html

There is a very popular series of blogs by Micah Walter on "Aperture vs.
Lightroom: Day X" that is yielding lots of comments and attention.
Micah's series has 6 of the top 10 blogs at the moment. You can find
them easily by going to his blog page, found here:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/2885

Podcasts

Whether you use or like Microsoft software or not, Dan Steinberg brings us
"Web 2.0 Podcast: A Conversation with Ray Ozzie," in which the
Microsoft's Chief Software Architect talks about his famously leaked
memo, Vista, and a host of other subjects. Check it out at:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2007/02/21/web-20-ozzie.html

You can download the audio as an mp3 or download the video as an mp4, or
you can subscribe to the audio or video podcasts. Check

Stats

I recently did some analysis on book sales for 2005 and 2006 so I could
see which languages where growing and which were shrinking. The results
mirror our data on what people are searching for. For just the month of
January 2005 and 2006, these languages showed the following growth rate
percentage over the prior year: Ruby, 6.22%; Javascript, 8.63%; and SQL,
1.85%. The rest of the languages were down: Java, -5.87%; C#, -0.89%; C++,
-2.58%; Perl, -2.70%; PHP, -0.64%; Python, -0.58%; VB, -1.43%; and .net
Languages, -1.99%. From a book sales perspective, Ruby, Javascript, and
SQL were the biggest gainers, and the others all had slight to significant
decreases.

So if there is something you would like to see in this newsletter,
whether it is analysis, articles, or blogs, or if you would like to see
new features on the O'Reilly Network, please send your ideas to
ideas@oreillynet.com.

Thanks for reading.

Dear Reader,

Welcome to another issue of XML.com.

This week we get back to XML.com roots: Andrzej Zydron presents OAXAL, a
proposal for layering a publishing and translation framework over DITA and xml:tm. Publishing
isn't the sexiest domain ever, but there is *still* good money and innovations to be made there.

OAXAL: Open Architecture for XML Authoring and Localization

LINUX NEWS FROM O'REILLY NETWORK

ServerBeach provides powerful self-managed dedicated servers at highly
competitive prices. Choose from 3 datacenters across the U.S., receive 24/7

=================================================================
Hello, readers. This is the weekly Linux Newsletter, which occasionally
discusses Linux (the kernel) itself and usually discusses software developed
and distributed under terms similar to Linux (the kernel) itself. Pedantry
aside, here's what's new in the F/OSS world.

The nice thing about best practices is that there are so many to choose from.
Take, for example, firewalls. Hardware? Software? Which one? Chris Swartz
and Randy Rosel recently developed a series of tests for evaluating the
effectiveness of competing firewall products. Now they present their method in
a way that you can duplicate with the products or projects you want to consider:

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/sysadmin/2007/02/15/evaluating_firewalls.html

Rewiring your house for ubiquitous wired networking isn't always feasible (and
much less so if you have an apartment). Wireless isn't always the answer
either. Odds are, though, that you do already have wires almost everywhere you want to
go--electrical wires. Xavier Carcelle provides an introduction to power line communications:

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/etel/2007/02/15/an-introduction-to-power-line-communications.html

In weblogs this week, Todd Ogasawara ponders the idea that open-sourcing code
gives companies a free pass for anti-competitive behavior:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/02/open_source_community_or_indus.html

Dave Cross notices that there are now two places to post Perl jobs:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/02/perl_jobs_1.html

Jeremy Jones finds this week's PyCon schedule frustrating:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/02/pycon_2007_frustrations.html

Matt Asay considers out-of-the-U.S. competition more dangerous to
Microsoft than that in the U.S.:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/02/can_50000_brazilians_be_wrong.html

Your author praises ccache:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/02/thank_you_ccache.html

...and wonders if driver development NDAs are a short-term-only solution:

http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/blog/2007/02/ndad_drivers_dont_make_everyon.html

M. David Peterson uses XSLT to optimize his Linux distribution and kicks off a
command-line festival:

http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2007/02/using_xslt_20_to_optimize_linu.html

Juliet Kemp drives dual-head monitors on Debian:

http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/blog/2007/02/nvidia_twinview_and_xorgconf.html

pat eyler announces the Mountain West Ruby Conference:

http://www.oreillynet.com/ruby/blog/2007/02/mountainwest_rubyconf_2007.html

Curt Hibbs links to Antonio Cangiano's Ruby Implementations Shootout:

http://www.oreillynet.com/ruby/blog/2007/02/fascinating_ruby_implementatio.html

Brian K. Jones discusses the CLI shell-quoting conundrum:

http://www.oreillynet.com/sysadmin/blog/2007/02/shell_quoting_conundrum.html

...and resolves to fight job specialization:

http://www.oreillynet.com/sysadmin/blog/2007/02/fighting_specialization.html

Anton Chuvakin's security tip of the week is to ask "What Just Changed?":

http://www.oreillynet.com/sysadmin/blog/2007/02/anton_security_tip_of_the_week_3.html

Luke A. Kanies responds to his critique of the lack of evolution in system
administration:

http://www.oreillynet.com/sysadmin/blog/2007/02/fallout_from_the_evolution_pos.html

The Radar team discusses a wait-free fast hash table:

http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/02/a_fast_waitfree_1.html

Tim O'Reilly links to a profile of Bernie Krause, who works on ecological soundscapes:

http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/02/biophony_ecolog_1.html

Brady Forrest catches AOL's announcement of supporting OpenID:

http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/02/aol_supports_op.html

Surj Patel has another child and asks where the 8-bit revolution is for them:

http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/02/wheres_the_8_bi.html

Tim O'Reilly highlights a WSJ piece on the new class of tastemakers who filter
information for others:

http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/02/wsj_and_ifbook.html

Next week--how not to get help from that F/OSS project.

Firewalls, Power Line Communication, and Microsoft Virtual Server

THE O'REILLY NETWORK NEWSLETTER
-------------------------------------
The latest from http://oreillynet.com

==================================================================
O'Reilly and Citrix present "GoToMyPC Remote Access Zone"

employees of small to mid-sized businesses. Increase productivity with

==================================================================
Greetings readers,

If estimates are accurate, a Windows computer can be compromised
within 12 minutes of connecting to the Internet. So what should you do
to protect yourself? Does it make a difference if you are a
small-business owner versus a member of the technical staff at a large
corporation? Chris Swartz and Randy Rosel evaluate how the freeware
firewalls compare to expensive, all-in-one firewall solutions such as
the Cisco PIX in their article "Hardware Versus Software Firewalls."

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/sysadmin/2007/02/15/evaluating_firewalls.html.

One area that seems to be growing quickly is Power Line Communications
(PLC). Xavier Carcelle provides a solid introduction to using existing
electrical cables to transport data. Think of how ubiquitous
communications could become with PLC running everywhere. Check out "An
Introduction to Power Line Communications" when you have a few minutes.
It's not too long yet it's packed with good insights.

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/etel/2007/02/15/an-introduction-to-power-line-communications.html

Although virtual servers have been around for quite some time, they are
now becoming more mainstream. In "Five Things You Need to Know About
Virtual Server," Chris Sanders explores the topics that you should
understand before embarking on a virtual server deployment.

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/windows/2007/02/13/five-things-you-need-to-know-about-virtual-server.html

In the stats area, we have a long-tail article that continues to lead
the way in page views. Tim O'Reilly's eloquent article on "What is Web
2.0" has twice the number of page views as the number-two article.
If you haven't already read it, you should.

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html

When you search for "Web 2.0" on the O'Reilly Network, you get the
following results by Content Type-[occurrences]: Articles-692, Books-577,
Conferences-182, and Weblogs-1038.

Enjoy your reading.

Dear Reader,

Welcome to another issue of XML.com.

Bob DuCharme -- still one of my favorite techie authors: does anyone write
tech prose as clear as Bob? -- returns this week with the first of a two-part series on RDFa,
which is the W3C's latest attempt to mate a general purpose metadata language (RDF) with, well, the
Web, or at least with XHTML. RDFa is interesting, since it solves a problem some of us were
really bothered by a few years back -- basically, how to relate metadata to web resources in a
clean way.

Kendall's Theorem (which I never get tired of repeating) is that everything about software takes
longer to mature than anyone ever thinks. That means that RDFa may not be
too late after all.

Introducing RDFa

http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2007/02/14/introducing-rdfa.html

Continuing the new trend to longer, chattier newsletters, I thought I'd mention five cool things
that flew through my Attention Zone this week:

1. Milk -- well, you just have to see it to understand (beware: you need
Flash to make sense of this):

http://www.milk.dk/

This is not the first time I wished I were a citizen of Denmark.

2. Elixir, a port of Rails's ActiveRecord to Python's SQLAlchemy, which was already my all-time
fave way to deal with SQL and relational data from Python or any other
language. Excuse the vernacular, but Elixir is The Shit!

http://elixir.ematia.de/

3. XML.com columnist and HTTP guru Joe Gregorio (plus co-author Bill de hOra) releases what
appears to be the penultimate draft of the Atom Publishing Protocol. Elliotte Rusty Harold
recently claimed that APP was gonna be a big hit in 2007; I think he's spot-on.

In fact, I think APP will end up having a bigger impact on the Web than Atom itself.

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-atompub-protocol-13.txt

4. mod_wsgi: I've been pushing WSGI on XML.com because I think the Python response to the
proliferation of web frameworks is inherently interesting, but also interestingly different from
the Ruby or Perl response. Of course, it hasn't yet been as successful as the Ruby response, and
probably won't be, but that's beside the point.

Though not yet officially released, mod_wsgi, an Apache mod for the 1.3, 2.0, and 2.2 versions,
lets you run WSGI apps behind Apache, which somehow became everyone's *second* favorite HTTP
server at some point in the last year or so. How did *that* happen?

At any rate, if you do Python web stuff, you should know about WSGI; and if you do WSGI, mod_wsgi
sounds like a very welcome development.

5. soaplib: Finally there's a real, modern, good SOAP library for Python. It even produces and
consumes WSDL. OK, sure, SOAP, WSDL, Web Services, SOA -- these are all *clearly* evil, but some
of us still have to deal with them in our Day Jobs. Until I attain a state of RESTful Purity,
soaplib will make a big, happy difference to me in my Other Job.

http://trac.optio.webfactional.com/

OK, so a lot of that was Python-specific: sue me for loving Python! :>

As always, thanks for reading.

Microsoft likes to point out the fact that its firewall in Windows Vista
is superior to the one in XP. As I point out in my blog, though, that's
not true.

http://www.oreillynet.com/windows/blog/2007/02/windows_vista_firewall_not_wha.html

Luddites Among Us

It's easy to complain about how hard it is to keep up with Microsoft's
onslaught of developer technology, and to say the company has a hand in
everyone's pocket. But Jesse Liberty begs to differ--he says Microsoft
can't win for trying. See why in his blog.

Windows Mobile Weekly Roundup

Todd Ogasawara is back with his weekly summary of Windows Mobile and
general mobile tech-related items. He covers how to use Bluetooth with
ActiveSync instead of USB, in addition to other items.

Greetings Readers,

We have something new to talk about on the network. We are debuting a
job board component in conjunction with our friends at Simply Hired.
We're testing this service on Perl.com in the righthand column. If
you find it useful, we plan to roll it out to the rest of the
network. So, if you are a Perl, PHP, or Python type or a sys admin or
Ajax developer, we will have some interesting jobs for you to browse.
Or if you are looking to hire someone for your project, you can hone in
on the focused audience of the O'Reilly Network and post your job
listing.

If you have not checked out our new articles for the week, please do so:

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/articles

Did you know that there are more than 100 web server log analyzers
(Google Directory for Log Analysis) or web statistics tools ranging from
commercial offerings, such as WebTrends, to open source ones, such as
AWStats? Have you ever thought of visualizing your logs in 3D? In "A
New Visualization for Web Server Logs," Raju Varghese describes a very
interesting way to view the content of logfiles.

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/sysadmin/2007/02/02/3d-logfile-visualization.html

In "An Introduction to openQRM," Kris Buytaert explains how the next time

your development team wants to test something risky on its platform, you
can boot them onto an idle node from their virtual environment, and have
them play around, test, and screw things up. And best of all, you don't
worry; it will only take you moments to give them back what they started
with--and after they are done, you can have your machines back, ready to
use for another service.

This article explains the different key concepts of openQRM and
demonstrates how it can provide an easy-to-manage test platform
environment.

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2007/02/08/managing-virtualization.html

For those of you who seem to hibernate during the winter months, did you
know that during the past few years, Hibernate has almost become the
defacto standard in the world of Java database persistence? In this
article, John Ferguson Smart looks at how Java 5 annotations can be used
to simplify your Hibernate code and make coding your persistence layer
even easier. Using Hibernate annotations allows you to simplify your
application maintenance, with the additional advantage of giving you a
gentle introduction into the world of EJB 3. Check it out!

http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2007/02/08/an-introduction-to-hibernate-3-annotations.html

From the content stats and data area, there are the usual suspects that
dominate the ranks for what people are searching for on the O'Reilly
Network. MySpace, Linux, and Web 2.0 are the top three again--no real
surprise there. An interesting sidenote, is that Web 2.0 (11%) was
searched for in 28 different ways, Linux and Linux commands (19%) some
95 different ways, and MySpace (8%) 48 different ways. One set of search
terms that popped out was that nearly 1,000 searches for the
Pringle Antenna article published in 2005. Much of our content does live
on the long tail! Check it out here:

http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/weblog/view/wlg/448

From a curiosity perspective, why are there 43 searches looking for
Paris Hilton on our site? And why are there 302 searches that are
trying to find "The Anarchist Cookbook"? These searches just seem odd,
but also present an opportunity to investigate further to find out what
you want.

If you have any ideas or thoughts for content or features you would like
us to offer, please send them to ideas@oreillynet.com.

Greetings, Linux Newsletter subscribers.

It's Monday again, and receiving this message means that you have agreed
to read every link in this newsletter twice. Ready? Go!

Virtualization is nifty. Managing polite fictions is much easier than
managing physically real items--at least until things get complicated. Though you
have to build physical robots or hire interns to manage real machines,
virtualized machines have one strong advantage: you can use other software to manage
them. Kris Buytaert introduces openQRM, a software project to create and manage
virtual images on real machines.

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2007/02/08/managing-virtualization.html

Visualization is nifty. (Usually lede opening sentences aren't this
parallel. Editors take the joys they can get.) Choosing the right type of graph can
make data trends jump out at you. Raju Varghese recently had to track down some
odd behavior on his web servers. With a little cleverness, he produced 3D
graphs of traffic and tracked down the trouble. Here's how you can do the same:

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/sysadmin/2007/02/02/3d-logfile-visualization.html

In weblogs this week, Matt Asay records Microsoft's experiments with open

Finishing Building our Game Engine with Cocoa

==================================================================

Dear readers,

This week we've published the final episode in Matthew Russell's
excellent series on Building a Game Engine with Cocoa. Matthew has
demonstrated some very important Cocoa programming principles in this
series, using an actual and fun example based on the popular Lines Of
Action board game. In this third and final installment, we learn how
to implement a game tree search called negamax--a variant of minimax
that uses alpha-beta pruning to reduce the search space.

http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2007/02/02/building-a-game-engine-with-cocoa-part-3.html

If you liked this series, or have any questions or
comments about the coding procedures and theory Matthew discusses,
please let us know in the comments section. If there is significant
interest in these articles, we'll try and get Matthew to expand more
on Cocoa programming in future articles.

There's also lots of activity in the Mac DevCenter blogs this week.
Not surprisingly our bloggers have some strong opinions on Steve
Jobs' public statement about DRM, Erica Sadun continues her
explorations into making the transition to high-def, and we're all
saving the dates of June 11-15 for Apple's next Worldwide Developer
Conference.

Hibernate, Ajax form validation, and adapting JAAS to SOA

Hello OnJava readers,

This week's featured article is an introduction to Hibernate 3
Annotations. "Declarative programming" is one of the hottest catchphrases
around these days. In this article, John Smart shows how Hibernate uses
Java 5 annotations to simplify your code and make persisting your data
easier than ever. Using annotations, you simply declare in your class
definition your intentions for persistence.

http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2007/02/08/an-introduction-to-hibernate-3-annotations.html

Validating user input in web apps doesn't lend itself to easy solutions:
you don't want client-side validation to require you to duplicate your
effort, but server-side validations may run long after the invalid input
is entered. Eric Spiegelberg has an approach that uses Ajax, via direct
web remoting, to let your server-side validation code correct client-side
entries on the fly.

http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/02/07/ajax-form-validation-using-spring-and-dwr.html

JAAS' limitations and assumptions have made it difficult to integrate with
other enterprise technologies. However, by exposing it as a service, you
can rely on JAAS in your SOA. Denis Pilipchuk shows how it's done.

http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/02/06/adapting-jaas-to-soa-environments.html

And over at dev2dev this week, you can check out the results of the Second

As a final word this week, I'd like to thank a few people for the smooth
transition into the OnJava editor's position. Chris Adamson was a
tremendous help, practically writing me a private book outlining the
responsibilities of this position. The entire O'Reilly staff, including
Laurel Ruma, Craig Palmer, and Bruce Stewart, as well as several unnamed
admins and graphic artists really helped to make sure I had the resources,
accounts, and web site access to make this job possible. With this crack
team, I can see why O'Reilly is such a presence in the publishing world.

Dear Reader,

Welcome to another issue of XML.com.

This week Cedric Savarese describes an interesting technique for optimizing dynamic web apps on
Mozilla-family browsers by using XUL in the place of JavaScript for
widgets and page elements.

XUL-Enhanced Web Apps
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2007/01/31/xul-enhanced-web-apps.html

An interesting development recently, from the editorial point of view, isthat we at XML.com have
learned just how popular these weekly email newsletters have become; in some ways, I suppose,
we're all a bit jaded about email campaigns, and so we don't expect that
much to come from them. A pleasant, surprise, then, to be wrong about that. Apparently all of you
out there find them useful, so, starting this week, I'll be putting a bit more in...

First, from the XML.com micro-blogosphere:

Rick Jeliffe, What Should I Do?
http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2007/02/what_should_i_do.html

Mark Pruett, Do Sync Calls Freeze Browsers?
http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2007/01/do_sync_calls_freeze_browsers.html

Kurt Cagle, Limited EXSLT Support in Mozilla Firefox 3.0
http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2007/01/limited_exslt_support_in_mozil.html

Next, a quick look at some of the popular articles on XML.com right now;
maybe you'll want to read some of these, if you haven't already?

Hacking Maps with the Google Maps API
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/08/10/google-maps.html

Also relevant:

Hacking Election Maps with XML and MapServer
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/05/31/electionmaps.html

A piece that in some ways we published too soon, since GWT hasn't yet seen
anything like its peak, in my estimation:

Google Web Toolkit
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/07/12/google-web-toolkit-ajax-java-ant-xml.html

For what it's worth, I've been using GWT in my other day job -- building Semantic Web apps for
enterprise and government customers -- and it's a *real treat.*

RSS and AJAX: A Simple News Reader
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/09/13/rss-and-ajax-a-simple-news-reader.html

And one from my browser tabs:

Haskell and Set Theory
http://neilmitchell.blogspot.com/2007/02/haskell-and-set-theory.html

Which prompts me to wonder if it's time for an XML.com article about
HaXml? Email to kendall@xml.com, if you have an opinion or -- even better -- an outline!

Finally, sorry, Chicagoans, you live in one of my favorite cities, but
congrats to Tony Dungy, Peyton Manning, and the rest of the Super Bowl champion Colts.

As always, thanks for reading.

Greetings reader,

From the article front, we have a very useful article on the Apache
logfiles. When your error log doesnt give you enough information to
figure out what's going on, Apache 2.x has no shortage of logging
abilities. Check out Rich Bowen's article on "Making Apache httpd Logs
More Useful." For instance, if you need complete output of all headers,
you've got to read this one.
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/onlamp/2007/02/02/apache-debugging-logs.html

In the final part of the series, Matthew Russell brings
together pieces of what you've learned from the previous two articles on
"Building a Game Engine with Cocoa." It is not quite Unreal Tournament,
but you'll finish up the infrastructure for a Lines of Action [LOA] game.
You'll learn how to implement a game tree search called negamax--
a variant of minimax that uses alpha-beta pruning to
reduce the search space. And at the end of this article, you'll have a
working LOA game, complete with a built-in computer opponent that plays
against you based on a custom heuristic that you define.
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mac/2007/02/02/building-a-game-engine-with-cocoa-part-3.html

From the blog front, we have some very interesting action to check out.
Rick Jelliffe has three of our top 10 blogs for the last few days. You
should probably just check out what he has to say on his page:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/1712.

Currently though, the most talked about blog is M. David Peterson's blog
on "ODF vs. EOOXML From An Insider Out," found at:
http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2007/01/odf_vs_ooxml_from_an_insider_o.html
Peterson's blog intrigues readers with "Okay, so this should at least
be enough to peak your interest. As such, I would encourage each and
every one of you to get *THE FACTS* as they truly are, from someone in
whom, like Rick Jelliffe, truly understands what the facts are, as
opposed to what the EOOXML smear campaigners would like for you to
believe." Hmmm... a smear campaign--those are some mighty emotive words.

In the next few weeks we will rollout tag clouds that provide you with
more information about what people are looking for on the O'Reilly
Network. So, from our logs, and in the soon-to-be tag cloud front, the
first term listed below represents about one out of every three searches
for last week, second term being one-quarter of the first term. Obviously
people are still searching for our Google Proxy that allows students and
others to access restricted sites like MySpace:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2006/12/21/using-google-to-view-myspace-or-any-restricted-sites.html

Here are the top twenty terms:
1) my space, 2) java, 3) perl, 4) linux,
5) ajax, 6) javascript, 7) head first, 8) ruby, 9) open source
10) php, 11) hack, 12) python, 13) css, 14) web 2.0, 15) rails, 16) sql,
17) excel, 18) spring, 19) flex, 20) apache

Enjoy,

What if Hardware Vendors Are Also Trapped?

LINUX NEWS FROM O'REILLY NETWORK
----------------------------------------
The Latest from http://www.linuxdevcenter.com and http://ONLamp.com

=================================================================
Inside Port 25: The Open Source Software Lab at Microsoft

Get help and guidance on running Windows, Linux, UNIX or Open Source
Software in a mixed environment. In partnership with OReilly, Inside Port 25

Hello, readers. This is the Linux Newsletter, a weekly plea for you to drop
everything to lend your valuable eyeballs to the Free and Open Source Software
side of the O'Reilly Network. Here's the candy.

Apache httpd is powerful and popular (and very well documented), but certain
features are still black magic, especially when things go wrong. Consider two
words: Rewrite Rules. When you've climbed back down from the ceiling, let Rich
Bowen show you how to enable debugging logs to help pinpoint problems:

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2007/02/02/apache-debugging-logs.html

Before there were huge, overarching, heavyweight frameworks and Very Serious
Templating packages, there was Perl's minimal but useful HTML::Template.
Though you may think you need a Very Serious Framework for every project, you
likely have plenty of projects that can benefit from a simpler, lighter
approach. Philipp K. Janert shows how to achieve more powerful reuse in the
second part of an advanced H::T series:

http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2007/02/02/htmltemplate-widgets.html

There are lots of reasons why hardware vendors might not be able to produce
drivers or specifications for free and open source operating systems. Only a
few hold up, though. What if the real reasons are the same problems that FOSS
developers face? Could there be common ground?

http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/blog/2007/01/what_if_hardware_vendors_are_t.html

By the way, the Conferences group announced one new conference, and registration
for two others. Ubuntu Live will take place in Portland, Oregon concurrently
at OSCON:

http://www.oreillynet.com/conferences/blog/2007/01/introducing_ubuntu_live.html

The MySQL Conference and Expo is open:

http://www.oreillynet.com/conferences/blog/2007/01/mysql_conference_expo_registra.html

RailsConf 2007 is also open for registration:

http://www.oreillynet.com/conferences/blog/2007/02/railsconf_2007_registration_is.html

In weblogs this week, Robert Cooper takes up the gauntlet to debate static
typing again:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onjava/blog/2007/01/fear_and_loathing_in_typeland.html

Your editor thanks the Xfce contributors for great software:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/02/thank_you_xfce.html

... and found that London has a shortage of Perl programmers:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/02/london_needs_perl_programmers.html

Matt Asay takes on Microsoft's paid and buried competitive research on Linux:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/02/microsoft_paying_for_its_facts.html

Todd Ogasawara promoted an open source readiness kit for Windows Vista:

Juliet Kemp dug into bash customization and gave some of her top tricks:

Caitlyn Martin demonstrated adding a background image to a very basic window
manager:

http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/blog/2007/02/adding_a_background_image_to_a.html

Derek Sivers announced the winners of the 2007 CD Baby Hackfest:

Tim O'Reilly promised that he's not out of his mind in your spam folder:

... and asked entrepreneurs "Big and Global or Small and Local?":

http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/02/bigglobal_or_sm.html

Marc Hedlund found the volunteer hunt for Jim Gray fascinating:

Herding Groundhogs

===================================================================

Happy Groundhog Day, Perl Newsletter subscribers. For the non-Americans in the
readership, this is a strange holiday where so-called reporters gather outside
a groundhog hole and, if the poor hibernating creature emerges to see its
shadow, we leave our calendar well enough alone. Otherwise, we move the spring
equinox up six weeks. (Your editor has never quite figured out how that works.)

Your editor does know how Perl works, though (hence the disturbing dreams of
macros). Here's what's new in the Perl world.

* Perl Events

OSCON 2007 (also known as The Perl Conference 11)'s call for papers expires
Very Soon. Submit your talk and tutorial proposals now, or conference chair
Allison Randal will not let you into the conference.

http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/17/069232

YAPC::NA 2007 in Houston, Texas has announced its CFP as well:

http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/26/0033204

The fabulous Ann Barcomb announced the European Perl Hackathon in the
Netherlands from 2 - 4 March. All you need is a laptop:

http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/31/2033239

* Perl News

A minor storm gathered around the release of a module named XML::Tiny. In
question is the goal of the ::Tiny modules, the value of releasing modules
that deliberately do only a subset of a larger task, and potential confusion
in the names:

http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/29/1318231

Ann Barcomb has summarized the weeks in Perl 6:

http://use.perl.org/~kudra/journal/32143
http://use.perl.org/~kudra/journal/32224

Your editor has minuted the Perl 6 design meetings:

http://use.perl.org/~chromatic/journal/32309
http://use.perl.org/~chromatic/journal/32310

The Perl Foundation has announced its latest call for grants:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/02/grants_calls_for_proposals.html

Dave Cross analyzed an interesting job situation in London; there are more
Perl jobs than available hackers:

http://blog.dave.org.uk/archives/001195.html

Perl had able representation in the Plat_Forms web development contest:

http://www.plat-forms.org/2007/blog

* Perl on ORN

HTML::Template is a deceptively simple templating system for web pages. It may
look like it has only a few features, but there's a lot of power in those
features--and there's even more power available without mixing presentation and
business logic. Philipp Janert has followed up on his HTML::Template tags and
filters article with an exploration of building custom widgets and controls:

http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2007/02/02/htmltemplate-widgets.html

One article you might have missed during your editor's end-of-year, out-of-the-office
jamboree (where he forgot to write at least one newsletter) is a review
of Komodo 3.5. Yes, Komodo 4.0 is out now, but it takes time to get the new
copy, use it for real work, and see what's great and what didn't quite fit
yet. Here's what Michael J. Ross thought a couple of months ago:

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2006/12/21/komodo-35-for-dynamic-languages.html

Your author started a conversation asking why people contribute to
community documentation:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/01/why_do_you_contribute_to_commu.html

... after Andy Oram opined about the missing pieces of online
documentation:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/01/online_documentation_whats_mis.html

Don't forget, the next Parrot Bug Day is 17 February!

Tuning Derby and more

O'REILLY NETWORK'S ONJava.com NEWSLETTER
--------------------------------------------------
The Independent Source for Enterprise Java

==================================================================
Inside Port 25: The Open Source Software Lab at Microsoft

http://www.oreilly.com/go/onlamp-port25

==================================================================
Greetings...

Derby, also known as Java DB, is now included by default in JDK 6. For
certain types of database needs, you might well find it convenient to have
an all-Java, embeddable database always available to you. But if you're
not already deeply invested in one of the typical enterprise databases, if
you're doing simple JDBC work, you might not be fully aware of what helps
and hurts database access in Java applications. This week, we have some
tips on how to get the most out of Derby.

No, there's no magic "go faster" system property for Derby--in all
likelihood, you'll need to look to make performance improvements in your
code. In fact, in "Tuning Derby," Dejan Bosanac says that playing with
page and cache sizes is not the first step in improving Derby Performance.
"Playing with these parameters can help you improve performance to some
degree, but usually the bigger problem lies in your application and
database design, so you should focus on these issues first and leave Derby
properties for the end."

http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2007/01/31/tuning-derby.html

If you're writing portlets, adherence to the spec is of paramount
importance, not just for portability between portlet containers, but also
for reasons of interoperability, as explained by Drew Varner in the
dev2dev article "Guidelines for Writing JSR-168 Portlets." "Exposing
JSR-168 Portlets via Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) producers is
easier when portlets adhere to the JSR-168 specification. WSRP provides a
standard to federate portlet content via Web services. JSR-168 and WSRP
1.0 portlet capabilities are tightly coupled. JSR-168 to WSRP portlet
bridges utilize JSR-168's URL rewriting APIs. This article illustrates
best practices for developing JSR-168 portlets for portability."

http://dev2dev.bea.com/pub/a/2006/12/writing-jsr-168-portlets.html

In this week's feature article from java.net, Biswajit Sarkar shows off
techniques for "Implementing Copy and Paste for the Java ME TextBox."
"The text-handling classes in ME do not provide direct support for copy
and paste, but it is not very difficult to build up such a capability. In
this article we look at one approach to implementing this feature."

A final note this week. This is my last ONJava newsletter, as we welcome
a new ONJava editor, David Bock. You may know David as a Java Champion
and a speaker on the No Fluff Just Stuff tour. As part of an internal
realignment, ONJava and other sites from the O'Reilly Network are now
going to work more closely with the so-called "animal books" group, while
java.net and dev2dev move to a "corporate solutions" group. With a new
focus, new team, and increased support, I think ONJava will be a great
site under David's watchful eye. Anyways, I'm signing off in order to let
David introduce himself below. Thanks to everyone who's followed the site
for the last few years, and best wishes to David as he takes the reins.

Chris Adamson, former Editor
ONJava.com

And a note from our new editor, I'm happy to be accepting this
responsibility from Chris, and I have some big shoes to fill. I have been
a reader on OnJava.com for years, and I'm proud to be associated with the
production of such high quality content. I am going to be on the lookout
for some great articles to publish, so if you are interested in
contributing, you can contact me at dbock@oreilly.com.

Please join us again next week.
