November 2015: Benefits of Using Open Source; Komodo 9.3 Released; Python GUI Programming


Benefits of Using Open Source Languages in the Enterprise

The adoption of open source, by enterprises, has continued to accelerate in recent years. According to BlackRock’s recent survey, over three-quarters of all enterprises run on some form of open source software. However, there are still those who are wary of open source technologies and the benefits they can provide, citing issues such as support, compliance, and roadmaps/future plans to name a few. But not all open source technologies are the same: some are designed with the enterprise in mind.

In this webinar, Bart Copeland, CEO of ActiveState and Jay Lyman, Research Manager Cloud Platforms at 451 Research, discuss recent trends in open source programming language adoption by enterprises, how it impacts the overall business, and what it means for the future.

Some of the topics they’ll cover include:

  • Enterprise trends in open source programming languages
  • Language distributions and the peace of mind they provide
  • Indemnification, a must have for today’s businesses
  • Mission and business critical support, backed by more than a community
  • And more...

Join us on November 17th at 10am PST to learn how your enterprise can be more competitive, agile, and innovative with open source languages!

Komodo 9.3 released - Yours Forever!
It's finally here, possibly our most major minor release ever - Komodo 9.3. There is so much in this release we could almost have called it Komodo 10, but we didn't. Read on to find out about the amazing features in the latest version of Komodo.
 

[BLOG] Python GUI Programming: wxPython vs. tkinter

Even though the Tcl/Tk-based UI module called tkinter is a fairly standard part of the Python distribution and has been for ages, it often gets ignored by developers who have come to Python from other directions.

My own background is mostly in the C/C++ world, where I had deep experience with Qt and wxWidgets. That made it natural and easy to focus on wxPython when I started using Python ten years ago. I knew tkinter existed, but didn't pay it much attention.

I thought Tcl/Tk was old, odd, and obscure, which turns out not to be the best technical judgment I've ever made.

In modern Tcl/Tk, tkinter is simple, powerful, and fast. It looks pretty good too. Modern Tk includes a styling mechanism via themed widgets that allow it to be made even prettier...

 

[BLOG] High Performance Image Resizing With Image::Scale
While the performance of low-end embedded CPUs may not be as poor as it was several years ago, Image::Scale remains a great choice for those looking for a dead-simple Perl image resizing module. It has a friendlier API, is easier to install, and can be up to twice as fast as GD on modern hardware...
 

[VIDEO] Pair Programming with the Komodo Collaboration Tool
As many of you are aware, in Komodo IDE we have a feature call Collaboration. It's a simple tool with huge implications. Collaboration allows you to work with any number of people on a single document or many documents in a session.

Collaboration includes many of the main editors features including but not limited to Track Changes and Syntax Highlighting. Nathan and I took it for a spin and just happened to be recording our screens and I just happened to be narrating what we were doing. Have a look and see what it can do!
