I would like to set up an on-line chat forum for developers because I think it would help to coordinate efforts.

I am very tempted to go back to plain ...

I believe for a developer/programmer the most motivating part is to get to work on an interesting or challenging problem and then work towards its successful completion. It is difficult to deny the cycles in this job where we get to work on a routine p...

Hello, We're building a Windows and Mac app using a commercial licence of Qt, which we're building from a git clone. We've got a build setup using Hudson with potentially several build agents, and what I'd like to do for Windows at least is build once then deploy the build Qt to each agent (rather than have to build Qt on each agent)....
