The Loop

Readers of my blog will know that I love macs. Absolutely anything to do with Apple interests me; to that end, it will not surprise you that I have been doing some iPhone development.

For kicks I decided to write a mobile XMPie Dashboard application which would let you control XMPie uProduce whilst out and about. Whilst this is a sheer technology demonstration, its fairly functional and a great example of how with the right knowledge and skill, absolutly anything is possible within the XMPie toolset.

Below is a quick screencast demonstrating the application in all its glory!....

Im interested in your thoughts, so please comment below if you feel so inclined…

I recently thought that it would be good to run a Servlet container alongside IIS which is so well embedded in the clients that I deal with as they are mainly .NET types…

Anyone who has read my blog before will now that I have somewhat of a penchant for Resin – so once again, this was my choice of servlet container. Luckily for me, Caucho are awesome enough to supply an ISAPI filter which drops right into your IIS system, making Resin just an other ISAPI filter! Very sweet.

I just came across this on DIGG. I wouldn’t usually blog about this type of thing, but its truly amazing… can you imagine if they massed produced these one day – we might be flying to work!

This sweet new cocoa framework is now available for download from Sourceforge – if your writing anything for mac that involves client <-> server interplay, then this is certainly worth a look.

Small, fast and lightweight. What more could you want?

Here’s an interesting video that explains ESME which runs on the lift framework, backend by SAP NetWeaver. Very, very cool.

Enjoy!
