You know the saying "a nice problem to have" or "embarrassment of riches"? Well, we have experienced something along those same lines with the amazing response from our developer community, especially the Herculean effort to have applications ready in BlackBerry World for the launch of BlackBerry 10 on January 30, just a few short weeks [...]

At the moment, I'm writing a presentation about Mason2. The goal is to somehow convince my colleagues to consider using Mason. Instead of Template Toolkit. As part of it, I thought I'd do a bit of performance benchmarking against Template Toolkit.

The CakePHP core team is proud to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 2.3.1[1]. 2.3.1 is a bugfix release for the 2.3 release branch. Since the release of 2.3.0 there have been 70 commits and 20 tickets resolved. A short list of the changes you can expect is:

Notes from a Newbie document the creation and deployment of yardbirdfanclub.org with Perl Catalyst on shared hosting. They are intended for a Perl Catalyst Newbie who would like to study the creation and deployment of a simple Perl Catalyst application.

Of all the robotic kids we've had the pleasure of meeting, Roboy somehow manages to be one of the least creepy. Even if he is, you know, skinless. But hey, at least he looks friendly-ish, doesn't he? Maybe not-spend-time-with-him-alone-in-the-dark-friendly, but robot babies are always a work in progress.

It's the most widely used rendering engine on the web, but not every WebKit-based browser is the same and your website will not necessarily look the same in all of them. Google Chrome's Paul Irish offers developers an overview of what WebKit is and why not all "WebKits" are the same.

The W3C, the group that oversees web standards like HTML and CSS, recently held W3Conf, an annual conference for web developers. If, like me, you couldn't make it this year, fear not, videos of all of the talks are now available online.

"What's going on?" An easy enough question to answer, yet more people are finding it increasingly difficult to take time out of their busy lives to connect with one another. Take SocialEngine user Kim Starks for example. Kim has always been interested in people and how they interact with one another.

Not only scientific institutes but also companies harvest an amazing amount of data. Traditional database management systems are often unable to cope with this. Suitable tools are lacking in information retrieval on big data. Computer scientists have now developed an approach which enables searching large amounts of data in a fast and efficient way.

Did you know... The squircle (the matemathical term) is pretty close to the Nokia icon shape.
