Johnny's Software Saloon

Weblog where I discuss things that really interest me. Things like Java software development, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Macintosh software, Cocoa, Eclipse IDE, OOP, content management, XML technologies, CSS and XSLT document styling, artificial intelligence, standard document formats, and cool non-computing technologies.

Location: Germantown, Maryland, United States

I like writing software, listening to music (mostly country and rock but a little of everything), walking around outside, reading (when I have the time), relaxing in front of my TV watching my TiVo, playing with my cat, and riding around in my hybrid gas/electric car.

About Sidewinder | skimstone

This is a good explanation of what Sidewinder.

Basically, it is a slight retreat from building the bulk of applications out of traditional 1980s and 1990s programming languages, and a greater standard of document standards of the 21st century.

By using the documents to describe what the user should see and what the user can input, there is basically less programming. What you see is literally what you get. Not just hopefully what you get.

About Sidewinder | skimstone:
Sidewinder is a new kind of desktop application framework that uses web languages such as XHTML, SVG, XForms and Ajax, in place of more complex languages such as C , C# or Java.
