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

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Moca has open-sourced Agent Definition Language (ADL), a vendor-neutral specification intended to standardize how AI agents are defined, reviewed, and governed across frameworks and platforms.

Cloudflare has introduced Moltworker, an open-source solution for running Moltbot—a self-hosted personal AI agent—on its Developer Platform, eliminating the need for local hardware, such as Mac minis.

Congrats on starting the new adventure, your job coding Ruby!
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?
Visit Ruby Town at:

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
