Firstly head over to MacPorts and download the .dmg that corresponds to your system.

After installing MacPorts fire up a terminal and if you haven’t installed emacs earlier doing a

$ sudo port install gcc46

this will take about 11 hours or some ridiculous amount like that…

When gcc46 is installed and compiled head over to /usr/bin/ and remove the gcc, c++, g++ and cc links, i cannot stress enough how important it is for you to take backups of these files…

$ sudo rm gcc c++ g++ cc
$ sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.6 cc
$ sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.6 gcc
$ sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.6 g++
$ sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/c++-mp-4.6 c++

and a final 

$ gcc --version

will tell us that everything is in fact going good with a 

gcc (GCC) 4.6.2

Company-mode on emacs is a helpful mode that does auto completion for c, c++ and so-on. It works with CEDET Semantic backend. It works with others like PySmell or Xcode, however we will use the CEDET’s Semantic.

Assuming that you have emacs installed, I will move on to installing CEDET.

head over to MacPorts and download the .dmg that corresponds to your system.

After installing macports fire up a terminal and if you haven’t installed emacs earlier doing a

$ sudo port install emacs22

if you haven’t done have wget installed do so by

$ sudo port install wget

now its time to tell ports to download and install cedet

$ sudo port install cedet

moving right along to the init (aka ~/.emacs) file it should be wire these up

(add-to-list 'load-path "/opt/local/share/emacs/23.4/lisp/cedet")
(load "cedet")

which will load the CEDET extension…
navigate to the ~/.emacs.d folder where we will run

$ wget http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/init-company-mode.el

if you haven’t installed wget, just download the file and place it in ~/.emacs.d/
go back to editing the init file and stick this:

(load "~/.emacs.d/init-company-mode.el")
(require 'init-company-mode)
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/company")
(autoload 'company-mode "company" nil t)

and bobs your uncle…

Peace love and good happiness stuff…

As a developer how would you like to have Visual Studio on your phone? Intrigued?

Well we are not quite there yet, but Nikolai Tillmann and Michal Moskal, from the Research in Software Engineering group (RiSE) at Microsoft Research made a great app called Touch Studio.

TouchStudio is a radically new Windows Phone software development environment, bringing the excitement of the first programmable personal computers to the phone. Now you can write code for your phone on your phone!

This is hands down the most impressive mobile application I have ever seen, not in terms of coding skills, but the ammount of effort and tought that has been put in to the usability and UX of this is very visible. Kudos to the guys who did this app, very nicely done. Continue reading →

Learn Ruby On Rails

I was planning to learn ruby on rails for a long time and given that I have some experience with the MVC arcitechture I thought I wouldn’t have any problems learning it and hell maybe do a couple of webcasts about it… but then I found out about this site called rails for zombies, which is a fun and interactive way of teaching rails to people.

You could argue about what development platform rocks your world, ASP.net or Rails and I am very much so a .net person, but there is no question that there is a very cool community that has gathered around the rails platform. So go ahead and try ruby and ruby on rails and see what these kids have to offer… Continue reading →
