JS Sorcerer: Check your JS code


JS Sorcereris a product that watches over your JavaScript code:

It performs syntax checking, variable type and flow analysis on standalone JavaScript files, and provides type-safe linking for applications and projects that consist of multiple JavaScript files. It detects and reports errors at compile time, eliminating the need to invoke a browser simply to catch syntax and typographical errors. It incorporates an extensive catalog of browser idiosyncrasies, and produces effective cross-browser code from DOM-compliant JavaScript, allowing developers to ignore browser incompatibility issues.

There is an online test drive, and you can get an Eclipse plugin as well as a standalone solution.


Open Source Linux-Based SaaS Takes Another Twist with Zonbu


A start-up called Zonbu started peddling a small router-size Gentoo Linux-based consumer PC pre-loaded with a swat of free or open source applications and games, stuff like the OpenOffice suite, the Firefox web browser, Skype's VoIP and the Acrobat Reader. Users can't install any applications on the thing - well, there's no drive - but besides what Zobu provides - which pretty much covers all the bases - they can use other people's web-based applications. What we're talking about here is Evolution e-mail and calendaring; Pidgin instant messaging; a couple of P2P clients that support BitTorrent, eDonkey and eMule protocols; the Banshee music library; Mplayer media player; F-Spit photo organizer; Scribus desktop publishing; GimpShop image workshop; Nvu web page editor as well as a dictionary, encyclopedia, thesaurus, notepad, Gnu personal finance manager and Zip extractor.

Ian Skerrett: CIO.com’s Open Source Virtual Panel



In the past couple of weeks, I have noticed CIO.comis doing a great job highlighting and educating their readers on open source software.

They just published the results of a reader surveyabout open source adoption in the enterprise which showed 53% are using open source today in their organizations and not surprisingly the primary uses are:

Among those currently employing open-source solutions, the primary uses are operating systems such as Linux (78 percent), infrastructure applications, such as back-end databases and Web servers (74 percent), and software development tools like Eclipse (61 percent).

This week CIO.com is also running a live blogging panel on enteprise open sourcethat includes participation of open source experts like our very own Mike Milinkovich. The concept is that moderator, Esther Schindler, asks a question and the panel of experts respond in the comments. It should make for some interesting commentary.

Finally, CIO.com also published an article written by myself called ‘Using Open Source Innovation Networks to Drive Collaborative Software Development‘. In the article I try to explain how and why enterprise IT shops should consider to participate in open source projects to drive forward industry specific projects.

Overall, I think it is great CIO.com is adding this focus.  It can only help to educate IT management on possibilities of using open source software.
