Does google really google? Ironically, google the search engine company, is gathering flack from the industry for not ‘googling’. According to reports, the company recently released its new programming language and named it ‘Go’. However, another language by that name already exists and even has a significant profile on Google’s own servers. The original ‘Go’ language creator, Frank McCabe, is apparently up in arms over Google’s ‘Go’, and is demanding the company change the name of its language so he doesn’t have to change the...

Google created their own programming language. But is there a need to create a new language? Well here is some details about the Go programming language. Go offers an expressive type system, fast compilation, good performance, and built-in language features that simplify threaded programming and concurrency. The language has been under development for roughly two years. It started out as a 20 percent project—time that Google’s engineers are given to use as they choose for undirected experimentation—and evolved into a serious full-time undertaking. Google is releasing the source code...

A new programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine is available thanks to a couple of Google’s developers.  Called Noop (pronounce it like an abbreviated version of “no operation”), the developers claim that it combines the finest aspects of other languages and attempts to guide users towards accepted best practices. Other parts of the new Noop homepage (which is hosted by Google Code) explain that Noop “in source form looks similar to Java.  The goal is to build dependency injection and testability into the language from the beginning, rather than rely...

Many a times you require to use both C-Sharp (C#) and Visual Basic (VB) code class files in the same project. If you just place your both the code files in your App_Code directly this is the error you’ll see, “The files ‘/BlogEngine.Web/App_Code/VBCode/Class1.vb’ and ‘/BlogEngine.Web/App_Code/CSCode/Extensions/BreakPost.cs’ use a different language, which is not allowed since they need to be compiled together.” But you can get this done, here is a very simple way you can try that out, 1) First make two folders in App_code with foldernames as - CSCode -...

The browser’s role is ever increasing. It already has become far more than a mere tool for accessing information. Today we use it to communicate, to collaborate, and to interface with applications. And if Google has its way, we’ll soon be able to use it to chalk up a few righteous frags, too. Last week, a team of Google engineers demonstrated a copy of Id Software’s classic first-person shooter Quake running within a browser window at a frame rate comparable to an OS-hosted copy of the game. How did they do it? Simple. The Google Native Client is a new set of components that...
