Free Culture: The limited but essential role of
property in building an environment for creativity
 This talk sketched the boundaries of protection
that intellectual property law should set, but argue
that extremism has now defeated these limits. The
consequence is an environment within which
modular creativity is increasingly constrained.

This invited talk describes how emerging distributed computing
systems could mutate into the communications systems of the
future.
Armed with high speed interconnect, and software elements that
assign, track and charge for geographically distributed computing
resources, these systems could just as easily compute and deliver
an image to a remote location (for human communications) as
perform an internal streaming file transfer.
With this kind of capability not tied to the user's premises, customer
equipment could be very asset light and still deliver very high end
services like real-time processed video.
Using as an example MIRAGE II, a data mining system with a
geographically distributed, remotely computed Augmented Reality
interface, a prototype built by Motorola in association with NCSA
David Ungar: Paradoxes in
OOPL
1.
Because programming languages, development
environments, and execution engines are intended
for both people and computers, they must both
humanize and dehumanize us.
2. Adding a richer set of concepts to a programming
language impoverishes its universe of discourse.
3. Putting a language's cognitive center in a more
dynamic place reduces the verbiage needed to
accomplish a task, even though less information can
be mechanically deduced about the program.
Tim O'Reilly: paradigm shift

PC-based software -> web hosted applications like google,
mapquest and amazon.com.
These applications are built on top of Linux and Apache, yet they
are themselves fiercely proprietary.
These massive systems are valuable for their data as much as for
their programs.
By opening up XML web services APIs to that data, the most
innovative of these sites are creating new opportunities for hackers
to re-use that data and "scratch their own itch."
The applications operate on very different timelines and processes
than conventional software development.
New challenge:to understand and adapt to the paradigm shift
implicit in network computing, and to shed the legacy thinking of
the desktop era.
Erich Gamma: Eclipse

An open source universal tool platform
– www.eclipse.org

He talked about the design and
development of Eclipse
 IBM supported
 The IDE is free, the plug-in should be
purchased.

My presentation

Methodology first and language second
– I emphasize that we should learn the
fundamental principles and mechanisms of
OOP at first, and then
– Learn a language like C++ with the real
methodology of OOP
– C++ pitfalls
