Inventing the Next Business Programming Language
with Richard A. Green
Wednesday, October 06th, 2010 @ 6pm
Abstract:
How does one design a programming language for business processing?
Why are today's popular languages (Java, Python, C++, COBOL, .) poorly
matched to today's environment?
Our tools shape our thinking about solutions.
How might our tools be getting in the way of better thinking?
A programming language cannot be understood separately from its run-time
platform. Nor can it be understood separately from its people.
Programmers create their own culture and that, more than anything else,
channels the evolution of the language.
To demonstrate how these principles apply, Richard reviews Hum, a business
programming language designed for today's environment with some extensions
for future user interfaces.
Hum enables a kind of natural language syntax.
It delegates persistence, messaging, fuzzy-arithmetic, and accounting to the
run-time

SQLite3: I got your data right here! And Here! And HERE! AND HERE!
From the SQLite.org web page: .SQLite is a software library that implements
a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database
engine.. It allows for structured data storage and is supported on almost
every platform imaginable. We.ll take a look at SQLite from an iPhone and Mac
and Windows perspective, cross platform compatibility and even briefly tip-toe
into CoreData (which can use SQLite).
Creating wireframe mockups for mobile apps using Balsamiq:
A key success factor for creating great mobile applications is getting the
user experience right. Sketching out the interface is critical but
understanding, defining and documenting the interactions and flow of an
application can be cumbersome. This talk will demonstrate a light-weight tool
that allows sketches to be quickly developed and then animated for validation
and demonstration. (and it even works on Windows!)
Dan Hibbitts is a consultant who provides solutions for iPhone, Android and
other popular technologies. Dan has over 20 years of software development
experience and has been an advocate of mobile technology for over 10 years.
