Open Source : Android

Labels:


Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications. This beta version of the Android SDK provides the tools and APIs necessary to begin developing applications on the Android platform using the Java programming language.

Android is a software platform and operating system for mobile devices, based on the Linux kernel, developed by Google and later the Open Handset Alliance.[1] It allows developers to write managed code in a Java-like language that utilizes Google-developed Java libraries,[2] but does not support programs developed in native code.[3]

The unveiling of the Android platform on 5 November 2007 was announced with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of 34 hardware, software, and telecom companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices.[4] Google has pledged to make most of the Android platform available under the Apache free-software and open source license.[5]
Over the past year, we announced Android, released several SDKs (eventually resulting in the 1.0 SDK), gave out the first half of the $10,000,000 prize money for the Android Developer Challenge, and prepared the first Android-powered device for users. Tomorrow, the T-Mobile G1 goes on sale.

But today, we're making what might just be the most exciting announcement of all: we and our Open Handset Alliance partners have now released the source code for Android. There's a huge amount of code and content there, so head over to http://source.android.com/ for all the details.

I'd like to offer a huge thank you and congratulations to my colleagues and the Alliance partners for what I hope will be a red-letter day for the open source community, and openness in the mobile industry.

Open SOurce : GIMP

Labels:

The GNU Image Manipulation Program, or GIMP, is a free raster graphics editor used to process digital graphics and photographs. Typical uses include creating graphics and logos, resizing and cropping photos, altering colors, combining multiple images, removing unwanted image features, and converting between different image formats.[2] GIMP can also be used to create basic animated images in GIF format. It is often used as a free software replacement for Adobe Photoshop, the most widely used bitmap editor in the printing and graphics industries; however, it is not designed to be a Photoshop clone.[3] The project's mascot is named Wilber.

The project was started in 1995 by Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis and is now maintained by a group of volunteers under the auspices of the GNOME Project.[4] The current version of GIMP works with numerous operating systems, including all modern Linux distributions, all recent versions of Microsoft Windows, and Apple's Mac OS X.

Open Source : Blender

Labels:

Blender, the open source software for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback.

Blender has proven to be an extremely fast and versatile design instrument. The software has a personal touch, offering a unique approach to the world of Three Dimensions. Use it to create TV commercials, to make technical visualizations, business graphics, to do some morphing, or design user interfaces. You can easy build and manage complex environments. The renderer is versatile and extremely fast. All basic animation principles (curves & keys) are well implemented.

Blender 2.48 includes all the work done on the Blender Game Engine and the Apricot Open Game "Yo Frankie!", with much better functioning game logic editing, character animation, and Blender Material based real-time shaders. And as last minute surprise a Bullet physics update with Softbody support.

We also included a lot of new development in this release; Windows 64 bits support, Grease Pencil for sketching annotations, Sun/Sky/Atmosphere rendering, new modifiers, and an improved text editor with Python API support. And last but not least, an enormous list of open bug reports were handled.

Favorite Software in My Office

The Type of Software

Labels:

Are aware, when we use computers, we actually have to use the software. What is the actual software is? Software or software programs that are all used to run a computer or other device. In general, there are two types of software. First is the software application. Software is a software application created for a specific purpose or purposes, for example Notepad text editor, Winamp to play audio files, and so forth. Second is the software system. Software is a software system that places all software applications running. Examples are Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS, and so forth.

According to the way the building (read: the purchasing price and legality), the software can be divided into several types. The first type is freeware. Freeware software that can be used without cost, but still have limitations on copyright users. That is, although we use the freeware we can not violate the copyright on software, such as multiplication to others or use the software to other interests. Typically freeware is distributed without any code of the program concerned. And if we do not have to pay, what the purpose of the creator of the freeware? The goal clearly is to the campaign. Both the campaigns themselves (for the individual programmer) or products (for the developer kakap class). Other objectives that are possible to get input from users and some (although rarely found), which aims to break a system. Some examples of freeware is Paint.net, Rocket Dock, Ccleaner, and many more.

The second type is shareware
. Shareware is software that can be used without charge in a period of time. After the period is completed, users are given the option, whether to continue using the software (with the consequences of pay) or no longer use the software. Sometimes given the restrictions on the shareware features that can only be used if users buy softwarenya. As freeware, shareware is still restricted by copyright. The goal of making shareware is clear, namely to provide examples of the results so before the software is purchased by the user. Some examples of this shareware StyleXP for example, Window Blinds, WinRAR, and so forth.

Third, propietary software
. Essentially, the software is nearly propietary with the goods we can buy in the market. If we want to use it, we must be purchased. Propietary software is restricted by copyright. We are not allowed to distribute again, mengotak-atik program, and this software does not come with source code.

The fourth type of start is the popular open-source software. Unlike the previous types of software, open source software gives us the freedom to use, in accordance with the changing needs, and medistribusikan return, both the original software and we have changed. Usually the software is open source code to include in the source of the distribution of funds. The goal of making open source software is usually not for commercial purpose, but more to the social goals of how the software can be a benefit for users. Some examples of open source software such as Pidgin, qGo, Inkscape, Gimp, and many more.

Definition : Web Service

Labels:

Web service is a service that is available in the Internet messaging system that uses the XML terstandarisasi. Web service is not tied to the operating system or programming language. There are several alternatives in the exchange of XML messages. For example, the XML Remote Procedure calls (XML-RPC) or SOAP can be used in the exchange of messages. Another alternative is to use only HTTP GET / POST to send the XML message.

Although there is no need, a web service is also expected to have two additional properties:

* A web service must be able to define himself
The public web service should be published simultaneously with the publication of web services. Service should not provide the documents can be read by other developers so easy to use. SOAP service that is made should also include a public interface that is written in the language of the common XML. XML can be used to identify all the public method, method arguments and return values.

* A web service can be found
Web service that must be accompanied by a simple mechanism to publish. These mechanisms allow stakeholders to find the service and get the location of public interface. Mechanism can be in decentralized system or a centralized registry system.

Essentially, the web service is a full service, all of which:

* Available via the Internet or private network (intranet)
* Using XML messaging system that terstandarisasi
* Not tied to the operating system and programming language
* Defining themselves through standard XML grammar
* Can be searched with a simple search mechanism
