This article is in french, sorry for that but I could find no relevant group to share this. Briefly it talks about how programmers (those who actually code) are perceived here in France: As guys dwelling the bottom of the hierarchy, whom only ambition *should be* to become lead progr. or better (architect, project lead, ...). i.e. programmer is not really seen as a career.

A brief translation of the intro.: « Yes, being a programmer when you're 30+ yo in France is worst than being a 40+ yo cashier. Most of the people who spend 90% of their time programming will try to be perceived as R&D engineers, project lead, solution architect, consultant, etc.. The best, when you're a poor contractor of an "software engineering company", in mission for a banque, et that you spend you days coding, is telling people that you are Engineer in finance. »

« I'm gradually coming to the conclusion that software engineering is an idea whose time has come and gone. Software development is and always will be somewhat experimental. The actual software construction isn't necessarily experimental, but its conception is. And this is where our focus ought to be. It's where our focus always ought to have been. » __ Tom DeMarco

I love this article. Lawrence is 60 and can perhaps afford to be sanguine, but I am glad he is warning the rest of us.

Some quotable quotes here: "while we laugh at the guy who expected that his computer could be hooked up to his boom box to use the cd, he's actually just a bit ahead of us. Yes, ahead, not behind. In the future, he probably could get his computer to talk the boom box into transferring data from its cd." "When I was a teenager, I had a friend who made extra money testing and changing vacuum tubes in TV's and radios. Try earning money that way today- there is actually a very small market for that kind of thing, and there are still people who sell tubes and the like, but that market is pretty small. In the dumbed down computers of the future, there may still be a few antique machines kicking around here and there, but that isn't going to support very many of us." This is largely true and happening all the time. A programmer can use Python or Smalltalk without needing to know C (or Fortran or assembler.) A child can program in Morphic tiles (Etoys and Scratch)! We don't need to know the difference between a serial cable and a printer cable, or how to install a driver' it is all USB (or Bluetooth!) There are some gurus that program USB, but perhaps only a few hundred of them, and the rest of us just use it.

Orange is a component-based data mining software. It includes a range of preprocessing, modelling and data exploration techniques. It is based on C++ components, that are accessed either directly (not very common), through Python scripts (easier and better), or through GUI objects called Orange Widgets.

A really amazing set of tab-completion scripts and options for powershell.

This article about accessing Alternate Data Streams in PowerShell is very interesting because it shows how easy it is to EXTEND a TYPE in PowerShell with some simple XML and a few lines of code.  VERY cool.

Subversive is a GUI SVN client which is written as a plugin to Eclipse. Really *the* choice for SVN support in Eclipse.

PySVN is a rich GUI client for SVN written with Python and pyTk(?) so it's cross-platform.

RapidSVN is a gui client (like Filezilla or like WinCVS) for SVN

The "Other GUI Libraries" page on the WTL wiki holds a wealth of information in the form of short reviews of various (mostly free, and mostly cross-platform) GUI widget toolkits like Qt, wxWidgets, Ultimate++, JUCE and others I'd never heard of ...

U++ looks like an interesting alternative to qt and wxWidgets as a cross-platform widget toolkit -- it has it's own IDE with graphical form design, etc.
