Snap Developer Challenge
Posted 4 January, 2010 by Mike Pittaro in Development, Integration, Java, Python, SnapStore
SnapLogic is kicking off the new year with our first Snap Developer Challenge !
Since we launched the SnapLogic SnapStore back in in November, there has been a lot of developer interest in building Snaps that allow them to monetize their development and integration skills.
We are now inviting everyone – data integration developers, application developers, and independent software vendors – to submit a Snap to be listed on the SnapStore. We’re offering an Amazon Kindle for every Snap accepted, as well at a chance for a win the grand prize of $5,000 and an hour with venture fund Andreessen Horowitz to share more about your product and/or service.
If you know your way around a significant application API, and are able to condense that into a clean interface for the SnapLogic platform, you’re a perfect contestant.
The SnapLogic APIs make it easy to package your knowledge for the SnapLogic platform, while the SnapStore provides a channel to generate revenue from your knowledge.
Additional details are available on the Snap Developer Challenge page. But don’t wait too long – the registration deadline is February 28th.

It is standard teaching and widely accepted best practice that the interfaces between system modules should be well and thoroughly defined during the design phase, before implementation commences. It enables different developers to work on those modules independently and safe in the knowledge that the interfaces are set and reliable. The defined APIs are all [...]
Commenting code – even more important in open source
Posted 5 December, 2007 by Juergen in Community, Development, Open Source, bazaar, comments
I came across a good article over on the acmqueue site today. It deals with the question of whether good code is self documenting and whether comments in the code are needed. I had written about that subject before. The article points out that there are some who subscribe to the following point of view:

Constructing the Bazaar: Taking advantage of the open-source development model in your project
Posted 5 November, 2007 by Juergen in Community, Development, Open Source, bazaar, cathedral
Intro
The open-source development model can can be powerful and incredibly beneficial for any software development project. Yet, even most open-source projects do not follow this style of development. Today, I want to talk a bit about why this is the case, and what can be done to set your project on the right path to [...]
