Software engineer Mohamed Mansour hаѕ released a proof-οf-concept app fοr thе Google Plus API called Stream+ thаt tries tο bring ѕοmе order tο thе chaotic Google Plus stream. “It uses machine learning algorithms tο automatically classify thе posts іntο categories,” Mansour ѕауѕ іn a public post. Stream+ іѕ аmοnɡ thе first releases tο take advantage οf thе раrtѕ οf thе API thаt Google mаԁе available last week.

Thе app itself іѕ nοt very useful уеt, bυt іt’s a ѕtаrt. “Sοmе categories аrе nοt meaningful,” Mansour ѕауѕ, “аnԁ I аm trying tο optimize іt further whісh іѕ quite difficult.” Bυt Mansour’s insights аftеr developing fοr thе API аrе instructive.

JSON Activity Streams Spec Hits Version 1.0

JSON Activity Streams Spec Hits Version 1.0

Google Buzz

The JSON Activity Streams spec has hit a 1.0 release. Activity Streams provides a common protocol for creating and parsing activity streams. The ATOM version was already at 1.0.

The Facebook Wall is probably the most famous example of an activity stream, but just about any application could generate a stream of information in this format. Using a common format for activity streams could enable applications to communicate with one another, and presents new opportunities for information aggregation.

3 Free E-Books on Java for Beginners

Google Buzz

We’ve said it before: Java isn’t dying – it’s mutating. In addition to the Java Virtual Machine’s use in languages like Scala, Java is used with Apache Cassandra, Apache Hadoop, Neo4j and other cutting edge data tools. It’s also the language used for building native apps for Android, which has become the most popular smart phone OS on the market. Yes, The Guardian is swapping out Java for Scala. But Twitter, which once pioneered the production use of Ruby on Rails and Scala, now uses Java for its entire search stack.

In other words, it’s still worth learning Java. Here are three books for beginning programmers.

Node.js is still all the rage on the Web. But how is it actually being put to use? It’s still in its early stages of development, so in many ways its dangerous for production use. None the less, a few companies are already using it. Kevin McCarthy talked to three companiesYammerProxlet and Bocoup – about how each one is using Node.js.

  • Yammer – Yammer is using Node.js as a proxy for its API.
  • Proxlet – Proxlet’s Chrome plugin is built entirely in JavaScript and MongoDB. It uses Node.js as its proxy.
  • Bocoup – Bocoup built an IRC bot using Node.js that it uses for various purposes, such as logging and generating statistics.

What are some other real world uses of Node.js?

Jupiter Consulting, a development outfit and the creators of the JavaScriptMVC framework, has posted a guide on organizing jQuery applications with JavaScriptMVC 3.0. Justin Meyer, the author of the post, felt that other guides to organizing jQuery applications failed to emphasize a crucial aspect: breaking up applications into separate and testable components. “The secret to building large apps is NEVER build large apps,” Meyer writes. ” Break up your applications into small pieces. Then, assemble those testable, bite-sized pieces into your big application.” Meyer looks at Srchr as an example.

Apache Software Foundation Threatens to Walk Away from Java

Apache Software Foundation Threatens to Walk Away from Java

Google Buzz

The battle over Java took another turn yesterday when the Apache Software Foundation announced its plans to vote against the approval of Java 7, the next major version of the programming language. The announcement, along with an encouragement for other members of the Java Community Process (JCP) to follow suit, is meant to serve as a threat to Oracle in order to force the company to comply with the procedures necessary to verify the Apache Harmony project.

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has been unable to certify Java as Oracle, which acquired the language when the company purchased Sun Microsystems, will not provide the test kits available under the suitable license. As the ASF says in yesterday’s announcement, “Oracle is violating their contractual obligation as set forth under the rules of the JCP by only offering a TCK license that imposes additional terms and conditions that are not compatible with open source or Free software licenses.” …
