I went to the LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco today with jst. I saw a few cool things there including an interesting debugger, although it only worked on a custom flavor of Linux. Most of the people we talked to were either interested to hear about Mozilla or wanted us to answer technical support questions about Netscape. A few exhibitors tried to give demonstrations using IE, and I made some subtle and some not-so-subtle hints to them that they should switch browsers. Microsoft had a booth where they were distributing candies. I did not eat any in case they contained MS Kewl-Ade (the embraced and extended version) .
Later on, we met up with Dawn as she was exiting one of the talks, and before we left, we met up with Zach, whom we'd exchanged cell numbers with earlier on IRC.
Regarding free stuff, all I picked up this year was a SuSE geeko doll. Very much unlike last year, when I left with several t-shirts, a few copies of LinuxJournal, a Tux doll, and a few random gizmos, there was not much stuff being handed out. Signs of the times, it seems.
Posted by caillon at August 6, 2003 9:17 PMTo put my money where my mouth is, in each new article I'll build a hypothetical application that illustrates the guidelines I'm covering. Today's application is called "Paint" and will be based on the photo-illustrative icon I created in my last article. Together we will complete each step, and by the end of the project we should have a well-designed, 95%-100% Aqua-compliant application. I'll leave some room for personal preferences and the fact that Apple changes the OS every few months.
Posted by: Eli at January 25, 2004 7:57 AMIf an application is designed well, the reward for users is that they will learn it faster, accomplish their daily tasks more easily, and have fewer questions for the help desk. As a developer of a well-designed application, your returns on that investment are more upgrade revenue, reduced tech support, better reviews, less documentation, and higher customer satisfaction. The rewards of building a good-looking Aqua application are worth taking the extra time.
