Google App Engine Chooses Django
Apr 10th
Google is one company that truly gives Python first class citizen status and use it extensively throughout their organization, so it was no surprise that their application hosting platform (AppEngine) uses Python throughout. I was extremely pleased to find out that they chose Django as a core part of their application platform. I’m a big fan of Django and look forward to getting my account created there to try out some apps.
Nokia Intellisync
Apr 3rd
I’m sure everyone has heard of Blackberry aka “Crackberry”, the device and the company (Research In Motion – RIM) that created an army of lawyers and execs thumbing away emails, notes, and other text on the tiny devices.
The Blackberry service is more than instant email; its also about security and device management. IT managers can remote wipe devices, help customers remotely, and even provision devices over the air (OTA).
Nokia’s answer to corporate email push is the intellisync platform, which like Blackberry provides device management, instant email, and a few other perks. Almost everyone has experienced the Blackberry phenomenon. I, however, wanted to see what the other side was like so I have now been using Nokia Intellisync and would like to share my experiences with you.
