Digi Python Programming Guide
Short Description
This guide introduces the Python programming language by showing how to create and run a simple Python program. It describes how to load and run Python programs onto Digi devices, either through the command-line or Web user interfaces. It reviews Python modules, particularly those modules with Digi-specific behavior. Several sample Python programs are included on the Software and Documentation CD. This guide describes how to run the executable programs and describes program files.

Ars Technica Guide to Virtualization Part I
Short Description
In 2003, Intel announced that they were working on a technology called “Vanderpool” that was aimed at providing hardware-level support for a something called “virtualization.” With that announcement, the decades-old concept of virtualization had officially arrived on the technology press radar. But in spite of its long history in computing, as a new buzzword “virtualization” at first smelled ominously similar to terms like “trusted computing” and “convergence.” In other words, many folks had a vague notion of what virtualization was, and it from what they could tell it sounded like a decent enough idea, but you got the impression that nobody outside of a few vendors and CIO types was really too excited.

Mobile phonebook mash-up application developed using Web technologies
Short Description
This document discusses how to develop user interfaces of mobile devices using Web technologies. The user interfaces provide integrated access to on-device functionality and to Web-based services. The main benefits of this development approach are familiarity of comparably many developers with AJAX –style Web development, re-use of a proven and powerful browser engine, and ease of creating mash-ups. Based on our experience from prototyping a Phonebook Mash-up on top of the S60 WebKit browser engine the main remaining work items are an AJAX framework, which allow creating Web user interfaces with a mobile friendly user interface and interaction style, a usable security solution for JavaScript access to local resources, and JavaScript performance improvements.

Mashup Mania with Google Maps
Short Description
A number of new geospatial viewing tools from major players in the Internet industry have recently appeared on the scene and are taking the geospatial world by storm. Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and Amazon have all released web-based mapping tools in the recent past, and collectively these new players to the industry have raised the bar for Internet mapping. Although their functional capabilities don’t provide anything we haven’t seen in web offerings from traditional GIS vendors, their emergence has been significant in that they have managed to capture a wider audience. Google, in particular, has emerged as the leader of this pack with it’s recently released Google Maps product which provides a slick, highly responsive visual interface built using AJAX technologies along with detailed street and aerial imagery data, and an open API allowing customization of the map output including the ability to add application specific data to the map.

Mashups Interoperability and eInnovation
Short Description
Web services have been wildly hyped for a long while now. Web services, and more specifically mashups, on which we focus here, are an area of enormous innovation. That innovation is manifested through new business models, new technologies, and clever new ways to use and share data. It’s also an area where interoperability is the name of the game; the notion that people, data, and code can interact with other people, data, and code is the starting point for these services. The word “interoperable” is often in the definition of what a Web service is. The focus of this case study is the relationship between innovation in Web services applications and the interoperability (or interoperability potential) that we see. We conclude that the connection between interoperability and innovation is plain in this context. A wide variety of mashups that are useful to individuals, enterprises, and society as a whole have been enabled by interoperability in Web services, and could not exist without it. The drivers of interoperability have been market demand, private ordering, and work done in standards bodies. But the system by which it has come to pass is currently unstable, in the sense that a lawsuit or withdrawal of interoperable interfaces by a key stakeholder could set back innovation considerably. We consider several options for creating greater sustainability over time, such as license interoperability, open standards, and back-up in the form of traditional law enforcement.

iPhone and iPodtouch Programming Handling Touch Interactions and Events for Mobile Safari
Short Description
An essential part of any Web 2.0 application is the ability to respond to events triggered by the user or by a condition that occurs on the client: the clicking of a button, the pressing of a key, the scrolling of a window. While the user interacts with an HTML element, the entire document, or the browser window, JavaScript serves as the watchful eye behind the scenes that monitors all of this activity taking place and fires off events as they occur.
