Svn.NET - .Net bindings for SVN - 0 views

  • This is a project to build reliable .NET bindings for the Subversion version-control system libraries. This is a continuation of the SubversionSharp library initially created by Softec and released under the LGPL.
  •  
    Looks like a pretty good effort to create a .Net binding which would let you easily do SVN apps in .Net

Using C++ Interop (Implicit PInvoke) - 0 views

  • C++ Interop is recommended over explicit PInvoke because it provides better type safety, is typically less tedious to implement, is more forgiving if the unmanaged API is modified, and makes performance enhancements possible that are not possible with explicit PInvoke.
  • C++ Interop allows COM components to be accessed at will and does not require separate interop assemblies
  •  
    Because it is the language of the native APIs, Visual C++ has a special status on Windows which makes it  the best language for interacting with the platform APIs -- whether those are pure C++ APIs or COM components. This is partly due to the fact that unlike other .NET languages, Visual C++ allows managed and unmanaged code to exist in the same application and even in the same file ... allowing integration with existing apps and platform APIs that is just not possible in other .NET languages.

  • The web browser is a good example, on a pc it may make sense to ask a user to find, click, type, and browse the web or look for a service. In a mobile, converged product, you need to help the user be present with the service even or especially when they are driving or have the product in a pocket or handbag, and requiring them to constantly select 'yes' or to type in forms etc. are real headaches for a consumer.
  • We will not provide a store front, but will help the community create multiple online stores from which they can generate revenue for themselves and the developer.
  • At the other end of the spectrum, you see hoards of teenagers in the U.S., Europe and Asia happily texting one handed, using predictive text.

      No: they do NOT use predictive text - we 40 somethings might - but the kids uset text speak. How does a kid text rom an iPhone in his pocket?
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Focus on the whole experience, meaning you need to be inclusive of display sizes, input methods, and form factors when you design and develop your applications and services.

      How much time does a Symbian app developer have to put in to considering all the different Symbian phones on the market?
  • .Net CF
  • expanding this functionality with QT libraries, Adobe AIR technology
  • StyleTap has a Palm emulator that allows you to run thousands of Palm applications on Symbian products
  • Red Five Labs has a runtime for Symbian OS which ensures Microsoft .net applications can be fully supported.
  • many people around the world are not buying and cannot afford a PC.
  • The Symbian Foundation is helping to do this by ensuring we lower the barrier for entry for software developers.

    Really interesting interview with Symbian boss
