GNUnify 07 — an amazing event

without comments

GNUnify 07 at Symbiosis was a great event.

Sriram and me spoke on eclipse plug-in development on behalf of The Pune Eclipse Developers’ Group

The talk by A. Sundararajan from Sun on opensourcing the Java implementation (OpenJDK) from Sun was very interesting.

Moinak Ghosh from Sun gave a demo on some of the advanced features of OpenSolaris.

Also got an opportunity to meet Narayan Raman and Vivek Prahlad who’d developed Sahi and frankenstein.

All that shines ain't gold; consider a Ruby!

without comments

Having found some time off from my regular work, I’ve decided to play catchup with Ruby, more specifically the Ruby-on-rails stack.

I’ve downloaded ruby 1.8.5, and ruby gems, the package manager.

// TODO
Investigate on:

  • the language
  • the documentation, and the way it is organized
  • some good ruby enthusiasts (read: bloggers)
  • frameworks available, I found out there’s a RubyForge
  • help wanted” on open-source ruby projects
