I'm the author of the article "Introducing Dart, the New Web Language from Google" in the March 2013 issue. I wrote the article in late December and submitted the article in early January of this year. During the time I was writing it, I was using Dart M2 (version 0.2.9.9). I made sure to have my colleagues check over my code and worked to make sure that everything was perfect!
Remembering Spidey
Back before Google was born, and even longer before it became a verb, the
World Wide Web was often searched by a little spider on a surfboard.
Before you say anything, yes, I know Wireshark is available
for Linux. This time, however, Windows and OS X users get to play
too. Wireshark is an open-source network analyzation tool that is really
an amazing tool for troubleshooting a network.
But really just Androids. Do you develop for Android? Have you replaced your computer with an Android tablet? Are you using Android it a way no one has ever considered before? If so, we want to hear from you! Our Android focused issue of Linux Journal is just around the corner, and we're accepting article queries now. Hurry up and submit, before Google releases another version!
After months of me promising Steam would be coming to Linux, it's finally here. The early verdict: it's pretty great! The
installer is a simple pre-packaged .deb file for Ubuntu (or Xubuntu
in my case), and the user portion of the install looks very much like
Windows or Macintosh. In my limited testing, I've found
the Steam beta to be at least as stable as Desura.
I received an interesting message from Angela Kahealani with a challenge:
"Here's what I'd like to see in Work the Shell: a full-blown shell script
template. It should comply with all standards applicable to CLI programs.
I'm often compared to the Absent-Minded Professor. I take it as a
great compliment, because in the movie, he's brilliant. Unfortunately,
when people refer to me as him, it's the "absent-minded" part they're
stressing—not the "professor" part.
In these columns, I have covered several different scientific packages for
doing calculations in many different areas of research. I also have
looked at various packages that handle graphical representation
of these calculations. But, one package that I've never looked at
before is gnuplot (http://www.gnuplot.info).
Anyone with an iPhone probably is familiar with the AirVideo
application. Basically, it's the combination of a server app that runs on
your Windows or OS X machine, and it serves video over the network to an
AirVideo application on your phone. It's extremely popular, and for a
good reason—it works amazingly well.
