Re: From the Editor, June 2003: C++? Are You Crazy?

Object-orientation is not necessary in many projects. If it is, OOP in C is fine, or Objective-C, which doesn't require a C programmer to have a nervous breakdown. And, if it can be done in Perl or Python (or at least prototyped), eveb better. I personally believe that a large project can be best done in ANS Forth, which allows FULL control, and perfect encapsulation of ones ideas in 'words', composed of other layers of words. (This is not going to go over well, I'm sure, but you won't change my mind.)

The Oxford English Dictionary says the word "gadget" is a placeholder name for a technical item whose precise name one can't remember. Like that book-reader thingy from Amazon...what's it called? Spindle, Gindle...Kindle, that's it. Check it out in this month's gadget issue.

Other gadgets covered include the Nokia tablets, the BlackBerry, the Neo FreeRunner, the Dash Express, the Roku Netflix Player, the Kangaroo TV, The TomTom GO 930 and the MooBella Ice Cream System. On the larger hardware front, read the reviews of the Acer Aspire One and the YDL PowerStation. On the software front, check out the articles and columns on memcached, Samba security, Mutt, desktop gadgets, bash and Puppet.
