Greetings Andrew and company,
I would like to thank you for providing an iChat connection to the
NOVA WO group last night. I know that I was ask for a lot, but the
first rule of academic funding does state that those who don't ask
mostly like do not receive. I have to say you have an impressive
bunch, and I could only wish that my colleagues at Texas Tech saw the
wisdom in participating with such groups.
One thing we might do to improve the thing for next time is if there
are two laptops, to have one facing the presenter with its speakers
on, and the other facing a person in the audience whom I can text
questions to. I can certainly relate to Tom's notion about selection
on programmers. While I have posted an Academic Web Objects wiki
with a tutorial from a database class perspective (http://venus.cs.ttu.edu/groups/webobjects/
) , teaching the design patterns that are exemplified by WO seems to
escape the faculty.
There is one paper with references to others that may be useful to Tom
and others. It is posted at (https://venus.cs.ttu.edu/svn/iFITSDocuments/FIREmash/trunk/currentVersion/bridging.pdf
), referenced on the Sky Raider Project, and is paper I wrote
referencing a project that used WO, Project Wonder's ERX Keys and
Google Web Toolkit. There is a subsequent paper/ project that shows
integration with multiple WO apps via the mashup that is far from
ready. I hope to get it ready before mid April.
Of course, one of the things I wish still existed was the old
Marratech teleconferencing software with its "Brady Bunch" conference
capabilities so that the rest of the WO community could use it similar
to what we were trying last night. Believe it or not, it was true
blessing for me to participate with a collection of WO developers last
night. I probably should have done it in one of my professors
offices just to promote collective hope. I hope next time I can
borrow and use one of my professors echo canceling microphones with
good speakers and get a number of students to participate in the same
room. At least there would be hope that some place could produce
programmers who can use WO.
Later,
