How to setup WebObjects 5.1 on Linux
How to setup WebObjects 5.1 on Linux describes how to get WebObjects (the original from Apple) running under Linux - due to the Java basis of the 5.x versions, this has become significantly easier by now. Although I am naturally much more interested in the Objective-C version for Linux - Java is not the big performer on Linux in terms of performance ...
Well, for the Objective-C version, you can also fall back on SOPE (I reported), it is compatible in many areas. For using XCode, there are also project templates, so you get similar comfort during development. I have to try how it looks with ProjectBuilder.
OpenACS
OpenACS is a web application platform that is often overlooked, based on AOLServer and PostgreSQL.
OpenACS also comes with a whole set of ready-made modules - true to its name as Ars Digita Community System, it offers a whole stable of ready-made applications. A complete CMS is also included. And all of this is partly several years old - from times when other CMS projects were still dreaming of being conceived.
The AOLServer is a multithreaded web server that uses TCL as a scripting language, just as Apache is often combined with PHP. However, the AOLServer is very fast and surprisingly resource-efficient. The thing is called that for a good reason: larger parts of AOL run on the server and it originates from there. It's still worth something.
All in all, an exciting old-timer with interesting features and - due to its age - quite good documentation. But also some warts and edges that may seem a bit strange nowadays. One must keep in mind that when ACS was developed, the definition of CMS was only in its infancy.
Software Patents: The Signs Point to Renegotiation in the EU Council
Software patents: The signs point to renegotiation in the EU Council
The Commission's plan to push through the directive as quickly as possible, in accordance with the lobbying efforts of major market giants, is likely to be doomed by the Danes' withdrawal from the Council. Because a majority that could vote to maintain the directive as a top priority would no longer exist in light of the expected follow-up of numerous other countries.
I'll believe it when this circus is really renegotiated.
