I really love this Code Bubble IDE for Java from the CS department at Brown University. I would love to have this sort of environment for my web development. Adobe take heed. This Code Bubble thingy rocks! =)

My preferences are for it to:

• create standards compliant and semantically correct code
• have the ability for users to copy and paste over their content and for the editor to strip the tags/formatting that are not acceptable and keep the ones that are (white-listing?)
• be able to add and remove formatting options as well as rename the labels for the formatting options, especially the headers (via the administrative interface is preferable).
• have at least 2 levels of permission to the editor’s features
• accessible interface (would be nice)

Please help me keep my hair! =)

Go - a new open source programming language that concentrates on multiprocessor and multi-computer processing based on C/C++. Another result of their 20% time and they need OS developers to help them complete and improve it.

In general I like PHP and what it can do. My immediate feeling is that it is not a robust as something like Java is especially when it comes to error reporting and trapping. It seems powerful, flexible, and forgiving. A little too forgiving perhaps and the precompiler does not seem to generate enough compile time errors to know what may be causing a problem with the code which has resulted in some frustrations. More communication please.

I will need to spend some time getting used to it. I look forward to actually being able to getting the Sauk County site moved over to Drupal and then being able to work in PHP more.
