Throughout the years, I've been fascinated by compound document technology. I still pine for OpenDoc. Most of my work has been on the web, and every few jobs I seem to come into doing content management and every time I do, it's seldom as simple as "entering some text on a page".I have proposals, diagrams, and outlines going back to my previous major employer. But most of my memory of getting to really...

A cool photoset on flickr: "Apple's Front Pages Along The Years". Going back to 1996, it includes a couple of captures from the Amelio years. I remember that site. Apple at that time was quite large and sprawling and many sites were off on their own subdomain with their own look and feel. There was a trove of information out there on projects like the Dylan Programming Language as well as OpenDoc,...

I saw a link to this today - a list of Python anti-pitfalls, written back in 2003 by Richard Jones. There are a couple that I'd like to add boisterous comment to.11. No namespace pollution (unless you really want to)Unless you explicitly do from foo import *, all names are contained within modules / classes / objects. I love Python packages and modules. Every time I work with another language, like...

Microsoft has released initial information and screen shots about Office 12. It is a complete revamp of the user interface, at least in the primary applications Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access.

So now it's time to weigh in with my own thoughts about the whole affair.Visually, many of the applications remind me...

In response to my post about my recent real-world Zope 3 experiences, Martijn Faassen posts his. He covers notes on maturity. Zope 3.1 is quite mature, but there are a couple of small problem areas which we also bumped our heads against - namely the built in form machinery. The default machinery is not bad, but it does seem to be primarily targeted at basic object add/edit forms and introspection....

I've mentioned here before that I was impressed with the prototype.js library. It's a few months later and I now have a real Zope 3 project under my belt that has utilized the prototype.js library and the Scriptaculous that builds on top it. There were some great things that I was able to do with these two libraries - Drag and drop reordering? Just a couple of lines of Javascript and just a couple...

For the past few weeks, I've been working on a real Zope 3 application for a customer. Prior to this, I've just done the little never-completed apps that I've mentioned here, but they were enough to get me some general insight into how things worked.The project that we worked on was essentially a complete rewrite of an old Zope 2 web site for one of our largest and oldest customers. This also came...
