ANN: The first Porcupine tutorial is released
I'm pleased to announce the release of the first Porcupine tutorial. This tutorial presents all the steps required for building and deploying a simple Porcupine application from scratch. The sample application is a recipe manager used for storing and retrieving cooking recipes. The skills required for completing this tutorial successfully are good knowledge of Python and JavaScript. To be more precise, this tutorial shows you how to design simple content classes, deploy a new QuiX form, create a new application object and finally how to distribute your application using the pakager deployment utility.

FunkLoad 1.2.0 released
FunkLoad 1.2.0 is out. About FunkLoad: FunkLoad is a open source functional and load web tester, written in Python, whose main use cases are functional and regression testing of web projects, performance testing by loading the web application and monitoring your servers, load testing to expose bugs that do not surface in cursory testing, and stress testing to overwhelm the web application resources and test the application recoverability, and writing web agents by scripting any web repetitive task, like checking if a site is alive. Changes since 1.1.0: * Credential and Monitor services have been refactored they are now true unix daemon service, controllers are now in pure python (no more bash scripts). * Switching from distutils to setuptools using EasyInstall_, installing FunkLoad is now just a question of ``sudo easy_install funkload``. * Moving demo examples into the egg, just type ``fl-install-demo`` to extract the demo folder * Several bugs have been fixed.

[ANN] Boo Programming Language 0.7 Released
Boo 0.7 was released by Rodrigo B. de Oliveira. Boo is a statically typed programming language for .NET/Mono with a python inspired syntax and a special focus on language and compiler extensibility. Boo is free and open source (MIT/BSD license). The source and binaries for Boo are available from http://boo.codehaus.org/ Boo 0.7 adds support for by reference parameters, a whitespace-agnostic parser, the one's complement operator, and has numerous bug fixes. Boo 0.7 was also made compatible with .NET 2.0 beta (as well as .NET 1.1 and Mono 1.1.9), although boo does not yet consume or generate generics classes. There are numerous new and updated boo addins for IDEs now available: for SharpDevelop 1.1 and 2.0, Eclipse, MonoDevelop, and two IDEs developed in boo called Boodle and Boox.
