I find myself attending meetups which are sponsored by a group that was all Java a year ago. They are now presenting stuff on open source coding for fairly big enterprises with decent salaries. There is a lot of data base and cloud computing stuff. Java (with no "script at the end"), perl, Ruby, Python, and some others are in vogue. Essentially ALL speakers come to the podium with a portable Mac running OS-X! With money just not an object, performance and reliability are the deciding parameters. A most common answer is "It just works." But the code being discussed is anything but Macintosh. X-code is never part of the talk. And not much is Windoze either. It's all UNIX with a bunch of Linux. The Macintoshes are fancy typewriters that run non-Apple development systems and hook up to projectors and funny internet links with no problems. I take it as evidence that Apple's hardware is still pretty good. -- --> From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. <-- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
