    ...set of options configurable via a "wizard" (a lofty word for a canned dialog), and is dependent on expert programmers for everything else. We ask a follow-up question: "What will happen if users can program their own computer?" We're looking forward to a future where every computer user will be able to "open the hood" of their computer and make improvements to the applications inside. We believe that this will eventually change the nature of software and software development tools fundame...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...set by the project while still easy to learn. Although we considered Python perfect for the prototype phase, we anticipated that ultimately most of the prototypes would have to be rewritten into C and C++. However during the prototyping and alpha phase Python turned out to be more qualified for the job than initially expected i.e. Python turned out to be a true problem solver. At present most of the original Python code is still untouched or replaced by new Python code. The Python Successes S...

Client side agents for Java and Windows' COM interface made this possible by enabling access to the Web services from all major client application environments such as Visual Basic (VB), Visual Basic for Applications (VBA as used in Word, Excel, and Access), Delphi, C++, Java, C# a...

Those goals should be tied to outcomes that are measurable so that we can assess whether we did a good job. The board should provide some regula...
