A few years backAcer Aspire Timeline 1820PTZ-413G16N Google announced that they were creating a new programming language which they felt emphasised their core principles of simplicity and speed.
Now the developers behind go finally feel that GoAcer Aspire Timeline 1825 laptop battery , is ready to be solidified as a v1 product that people can rely on. Like any programming language, the goal isn't just to create a compiler or interpreter, but to have a fixed language specification that people can rely on. This way a program written today can be sure to run a decade from now.Acer Aspire Timeline 1820PTZ-413G16N laptop battery ,
Go 1 brings a number of improvements to the language, the standard library (which has been reorganized and includes new packages), and the tool suite has been restructured as well. In fact another feature that should speed up development is a new "go" command thatAsus Eee PC 1215 laptop battery , can derive build instructions from the source code itself, thus eliminating the need for Makefiles.
Recently Google also started offering Google Go as an option on Google App Engine, their cloud computing service. Google App Engine and its SDK too have been updated to use the latest version of Go. Other options provided by Google App Engine are Java and Python (2.5 or 2.7).Apple MacBook Pro 15 inch laptop battery ,
Google Go is also part of the GCC since version 4.6 — the current version is 4.7 — and now that there is an official release of the language, binary distributions for Linux, Windows and Mac OSX are available. Earlier it was only available in source form.Asus Eee PC 1016 laptop battery ,Asus Eee PC 1016P laptop battery ,
You can find out more about Google Go, and download it for your platform from the Google Go website.One of the areas where web-based office suites such as Google Docs and Zoho have a huge advantage over their offline counterparts is the ability to collaborate online. With Google Docs, EtherPad and other such software it is possible to see the changes others are making in realtime.
The good news is, such features are in development Dell Inspiron Mini 1018 laptop battery ,even in LibreOffice. The pace at which the community has been improving this office suite is amazing indeed. In the short duration of its existence it has introduced major new features, it is considering a revamp of its visual appearance, working on a port to mobile devices, working on a way to run the software in a browser, and now collaborative editing of documents in addition.DELL Alienware P08G Series laptop battery ,
A couple of LibreOffice developers have already hacked away at a prototype implementation that allows collaborative editing of a LibreOffice spreadsheet document over the internet. It uses the well established XMPP protocol, which is the basis of Google Talk, Dell Inspiron M101 laptop battery ,and Facebook Chat among others,HP Pavilion dv1200 battery , for sending document updates over XMPP.Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 2550 laptop battery ,
To communicate and collaborate over XMPP, it uses the Telepathy communication framework. Telepathy provides a feature called Tubes which allows exchanging of arbitrary data with an IM contact.
What this means is that a future version of LibreOffice might allow you to select from a list of chat buddies and work collaboratively with them on a document, over the internet, in real time and using a locally installed copy of LibreOffice.Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 2530 laptop battery ,
While there are still long ways to go before this comes as a proper feature in LibreOffice, the following video should be enough to get you excited for now:
For those looking for a free open source office tool that is capable of real-time collaboration, it would be remiss of us not to mention AbiWord at this point. AbiWord is a free, open source word processing software that is available for Linux, Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 2540 laptop battery ,Windows and Mac OSX. It was one of the first open source office suites to support grammar checking and it has supported collaborative editinHP Pavilion DV1000 battery ,g for a number of years now. It is capable of real-time collaborative editing of document by multiple users at the same time. It works pretty much like Google Docs, as one user types in a document, everyone sharing that document sees instant updates of the document contents.Compaq Presario V5000T battery ,
Combined with the free AbiCollab service this laptop battery ,battery ,
allows one to share documents with others and work on them over the internet. In fact, AbiWord can even work locally, without needing a third party service or account, rather using direct connection betwee multiple AbiWord instances instead.LENOVO IdeaPad U150,
AbiWord might not be as popular as LibreOffice, but for those needing just a word processor, it might just be a lighter — under 8MB compared to over 200MB for LibreOffice — and better alternative than LibreOffice. In fact, you can easily use it along withlenovo ideapad u450p 3389 laptop LibreOffice since it supports the same formats. toshiba satellite c650-17n laptop battery ,For those needing more than just a word processor, lenovo ideapad u450p 20031though LibreOffice and its collaborative capabilities are something to watch out for.The development of Qt 5 has been progressing steadily for quite some time — 9 months — and now the Qt Project has finally announced the first release A60 Series laptop batteryof the new major version of Qt. This release is special, not only because it is the first release of the upcoming Qt 5 version; but also since it is the first big release of Qt since it transferred from Nokia's control to the community-controlled Qt Project.Samsung NC10-14GB laptop battery ,
There were a number of goals that had been outlined for this major release of Qt, and optimistic as they were, they would come without much sacrifice in backwards-compatibility. The goal was to keep the transition from Qt 4 to Qt 5 as painless as possible Sony VAIO VPCZ116GGBwhile still providing a better framework and a better starting point for new projects new developers.Acer UM08A73 ,Acer UM08A74 ,Acer UM08B71 ,
Qt Quick and QML have been major new additions that have come in the Qt 4.x series and have lowered the entry barrier for new developers by making it possible to create Qt applications using JavaScript rather than C++. These aspects of Qt are being further refined in Qt 5 to the point that it should be possible to make complex applications and functionality without using C++ code at all. In fact thevision behind Qt 5 was as follows:SONY VAIO VPCX11Z1E ,
Qt 5 should be the foundation for a new way of developing applications. While offering all of the power of nativeAsus 90NLF1B2000Y , Qt using C++, the focus should shift to a model, where C++ is mainly used to implement modular backend functionality for Qt Quick.toshiba satellite c650-15z laptop battery ,
Four major architectural changes have been highlighted in this alpha release:Apple A1175 ,Asus 90-NVD1B1000Y ,
Qt ports are now based on Qt Platform Dell 90NFV6B1000Z ,Abstraction layer (QPA): Qt is already quite portable, and can be used to create applications for Linux, Windows, Mac OSX and a number of mobile platforms. The new abstraction layer separates the platform-dependent code making it easier to port Qt to further platforms such as Android and even iOS.Dell 90-NFY6B1000 ,
Re-architect graphics stack and increase performance of QtQuick: While retaining compatibility with Qt 4, Qt 5 introduces new classes that feature better performance. The new Qt Quick architecture uses hardware acceleration using OpenGL ES 2.0,Fujitsu 23GL2GF00-4A ,
Modular repository structure: Qt repositories have are being modularized such that different parts of Qt can be developed at a different pace and the inclusion of third-party modules is easier.
QWidget separated into own library: QWidget, the older way of creating Qt-based UIs has been separated into its own library, so while current applications that need it can still use it, new Qt Quick style applications do not need to include it.Fujitsu 23GL2GA00-8A
Other than architectural changes, there are a number of new features in this release A JSON parser, support for Mimetype recognition, C++11 support, support for DNS lookups, etc. Qt Webkit has been updated to use a newer version of Webkit; Dell Laptop Battery,Sony Laptop BatteryQt Location gives access to GPS. Qt Quick, now uses the V8 engine used in Google Chrome for better performance.
