Stop Password Masking (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox) - 0 views

  •  
    Usability suffers when users type in passwords and the only feedback they get is a row of bullets. Typically, masking passwords doesn't even increase security, but it does cost you business due to login failures. It has proven to be a particularly nasty usability problem in our testing of mobile devices

CocoaDev: AmbraiSmalltalk - 0 views

  • I can't imagine building a user interface intensive application through this technique. It would be extremely cool if they could integrate Interface Builder,
    • David Corking
       
      This Smalltalk company seems to have reified the Cocoa UI toolkit beautifully. Judging by the Ambrai website, there don't seem to be any retail Smalltalk compilers in the pipeline. However this could be a great lesson in how to reify John McIntosh's new Objective-C bridge for Squeak, or Etoile's Smalltalk library, if it hasn't been done already.

Squeak Bug/Fix Reporting on Vimeo by Ken Causey - 2008 - 0 views

  •  
    It is always important to know how to submit a bug report. It doesn't help that every community has different expectations, and every bug tracking system has a different layout. In Squeak, the learning curve is long but shallow. In this 23 minute screencast, Ken Causey starts with some bug hunting tips, and explains how to make a Smalltalk changeset file that is numbered, documented and compressed. He then shows how to submit this to the Mantis server on bugs.squeak.org.

    Etoys has become a great branch of Squeak (it branched from 3.8, but in the course of its development for OLPC, it has gained some nice fonts and a nice toolbar, among other things.) It behaves in a slightly more mainstream way, in that Etoys users no longer save the Etoys images, just save the project file (which is referred to in help as "Keep a current project"). The Squeak image itself restarts pristine and untouched each time it is restarted. \n\nSqueakers and developers who want to save their whole image (window positions, preferences, the lot, in classic Smalltalk style) will want the save command in the World menu. Bert Freudenberg explains where the World menu is hidden.

Object Vs Model - 0 views

shared by David Corking on 11 Jun 09 - Cached
  • Data Hiding simply doesn't make sense with regards to a reflective system where the data must regularly be updated by observers of reality (i.e. by one or more actors) and where the data inherently comes from the outside. This is, perhaps, one source of ObjectRelationalImpedenceMismatch?. Relational is designed for modeling data that came from an outside world whilst object-oriented is designed to... well... create and manipulate objects
    • David Corking
       
      why data hiding makes no sense in some programs
  • You can make them work together until you try to add virtualization - abstract objects for which the associated data isn't known.

JungleJar | Taking a Look at a Few More Paste Bins - 0 views

  •  
    It wasn't that long ago when I was searching for a couple of good code-snippet applications to store bits of source code. Well, I found a couple and published 2 Really Useful Code Snippet Applications. Now, I've found a few more worth noting, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, but they all serve their purpose nicely.
