- Mon May 05, 2008: Korn -- an extended shell - Everyone knows what a Linux shell is -- you open up a Linux terminal window (such as Konsole or xterm), type in some commands, and there you are, using your Linux shell. Write your commands to a file, make it executable, run it, and you're a shell programmer. But did you know that there are different shells that you can use, and that each shell operates in a slightly different way? My personal favorite is the Korn shell; by the end of this article, it may be your favorite as well.
- Thu Apr 03, 2008: Omnis Studio 4.3 - Is this the cross-platform RAD of Mark's dreams? Maybe, but only if he's eaten a lot of cheese before bedtime.
- Wed Dec 12, 2007: Creating simple charts with Gambas 2.0 - About three years ago we had a look at how Gambas speeds database development. Now that Gambas 2.0 is being prepared for release, it's time to see what the new version can do.
- Fri Oct 05, 2007: Automate FTP with macros - Has it been a while since you used FTP from the command line? While there are decent GUI-based FTP clients (such as gFTP), you can automate operations with the command-line version and handle file transfers with no user interaction at all.
