During the transition from 16 to 32 bit in the 80s, int was either 16 or 32 bit. Using the current 64 bit transition nomenclature, I understand there was a pretty even spread of ILP32 and LP32 machines. At the time I believe it was understood that int would always follow the register or pointer width for any given architecture and that l...

I confess, I'm a greedy programmer. I'm easily excited by various languages/technologies/platform, and then want to learn and master them all. Well, it seems to be a good habit, but no one can learn everything, so I need to focus and concentrate on something most important. Here's the list of things I would love to learn: Python (scri...
So I was doing this comparative study between the application security model between android and now I need a benchmark for it to compete against. The problem though is I am pretty new to mobile application development and barely know the names and probably used a phone or two in the process with each of the OSes. Now the dilemma I am in...
Hi All, I am planning to build an ASP.NET survey platform, that would also provide a scripting interface. I was wondering if there is an existing framework or open source platform to give a jump start. Also would a rule engine come in handy?... ...

I am aware of the variety of possible platforms for mobile development. However, I pretty much wonder what you can tell me about Qualcomm's BREW? Why does anyone care for it anymore? I mean, with J2ME's portability (the interest in J2ME must surely be dying in the middle-high class devices), Android Makret and Appstore, how could anyone ...
It am sub-dividing an app I have into "platform" and "app" layers so that I can distribute the platform as a jar for use by partners - while protecting my IP. I now have two Eclipse projects. Building has no ability to compile any resources into a jar, so I moved all resource references into the app project (the platform project gen/ ...
Hi all Web based systems (Client Side GUI only) are known to be platform independent, But, are they development-platform independent too?? To the best i know, Client Side GUI will always be built using HTML and JavaScript/VBScript or Java or etc which are supported by all OSs and Browsers to make it independent. I am concerned about the...
Coming from C++ & MFC background, is there any better (maintainability/customization) platform in developing application GUI ? We are developing industrial applications (machine vision), where : -Performance-critical (mostly image processing in CPU atm, but GPU is up next) -Low level hardware interfacing (inhouse PCI device, frame gr...
Why we are saying that the OS is purely hardware dependent (other than hardware peripherals like RAM/USB etc)? The word hardware independence means, the OS should run on any platform with out any underlying hardware abstraction layer like ARM/x86/xtensa/starcore etc etc. Can you please give me the exact hardware dependencies in a simple...

Hi, I ran into this question many times ago and have seen the terms again and didn't know their real concept in computer engineering. What do platform and framework refer to? I see many terms like platform-independent and development platforms, and also same for frameworks, but i can't quietly understand them. Do they refer to librarie...
I have a x64 machine running Windows 7 64 bits. It seems I have a very weird situation since the beginning of the week. If I build and run a WPF application with platform target set as x86, I got a MissingMethodException when trying to create a Grid: var g = new Grid(); However, creating a StackPanel works fine: var s = new StackPan...
Today I started thinking about a new project, and I found one. The goal is to get a first version working in the first three months. I'm going to write a "laser/light-show simulator" program, that you can generate such lightshows as you see on big events nowadays. The problem is the platform/language I'm going to write it in. I'm lookin...
