Some initial impressions from Android development
Posted on April 23, 2012 at 6:29pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I recently got to do some Android programming, and I'd like to share some of what I learned. A few things strike you the moment you start developing for Android devices.
1. It is Java
2. Layouts are done with XML
3. Android 'pages', or activities are automonous entities.
Well, strictly speaking, these assertions are not 100% correct. Let me elaborate on each…

Does anyone own one of the android java-based tablets? If you do, how does it compare to an iPad, and does it properly run java applets and applications? Do you need to install everything through a 'store', similar to the iTunes app store?

Google Software Engineering Culture
Several Google engineering practices have been largely adopted across the company until today and still contribute to its success.

Petrica Voicu and Kenneth Kang talk about Hera (High Efficiency Reliable Access to data stores) – an open-source in the Go programming language – and how it helps PayPal to manage database access and deal with issues. Hera scales thousands of PayPal’s applications with connection multiplexing, read-write split, and sharding.
By Petrica Voicu, Kenneth KangChange to AWS Lambda Networking Reduces Cold Start Time for VPC Customers
AWS announced changes to how Lambda functions connect to resources in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). This change — using pre-created network interfaces instead of network interfaces created for each function execution environment — cuts out a major factor in "cold starts" for serverless functions.
By Richard SeroterArticle: Rethinking Flink’s APIs for a Unified Data Processing Framework
Since its very early days, Apache Flink has followed the philosophy of taking a unified approach to batch and streaming. The core building block is the “continuous processing of unbounded data streams, with batch as a special, bounded set of those streams.” Recent updates to the Flink APIs include architectural designs by the community to support batch and streaming unification in Apache Flink.

Re:"A message from Kevin Neelands to all members of Ruby Town on CodeTown!
Just starting with Ruby on Rails. I found one I.D.E. called JetBrains RubyMine, and I'm trying to install the Dynamic Language ToolKit in Eclipse. Does anyone have suggestions for the best I.D.E?

This question would be better posted as a Codetown Discussion in the Ruby Town group so everyone could benefit from the responses. FYI, activity in a Discussion gets emailed to all members of the umbrella Group it's posted in.
Plus, all Codetown members will see the posting in Codetown's activity log.
Hey Kevin, I got those 3-D glasses in the mail. I'll check them out this weekend. Stay tuned! Best, Mike
