Oracle sues Google |
By Alan Zeichick
The hammer came down last week, as Oracle sued Google, alleging not only that Android violates key Java patents, but also that Android is actually a Java competitor. Much of the focus is on the Dalvik Java virtual machine, which is included with the Android operating system.
Oracle’s suit alleges that “Android (including without limitation the Dalvik VM and the Android software development kit), and devices that operate Android, infringe one or more claims of each of United States Patents Nos. 6,125,447; 6,192,476; 5,966,702; 7,426,720; RE38,104; 6,910,205; and 6,061,520.”...READ MORE

Investors shy away from software tools |
By Alex Handy
Ten years ago, when SD Times launched, there was a robust market for software development tools. Tools were sold by big companies and small companies, and startups flourished.
But today, investors have a tough time finding reason to put their money in software development tool companies. While there are certainly development tool companies that have recently found money, the market as a whole is now considered to be a tough nut to crack by venture capitalists, and in many cases, not worth the effort or risk. ...READ MORE

Google buys tools from Instantiations |
By Alex Handy and Katie Serignese
Google's Web Toolkit, also known as GWT, got some love in the form of an acquisition. Earlier this month, Google said that it’s purchasing most of Instantiations, the makers of GWT Designer and other Java development tools. Instantiations is also known for its Eclipse tools, which are primarily focused on GUI design in JavaScript and Java.
Eric Clayberg and Mike Taylor, founder and CEO of Instantiations respectively, posted the news on their company's blog, reassuring customers that their products would continue to be available despite the move to Google. ...READ MORE

Exploring the tenets of Scrum |
By David Rubinstein
Organizations looking to get started with agile software development often turn to Scrum as a place to start because of its simplicity. It is a framework for creating a development process but does not prescribe engineering practices. And, as Certified ScrumMaster Joseph Little put it, “That’s not a bug, it’s a feature.”
Before putting Scrum into place in an organization, Little said it’s critical to understand the values and principles behind the steps, or you won’t get the desired result. It’s like dancing, he added: “If you’re not feeling the music, you can do the steps, but it won’t be pretty.”...READ MORE

Zeichick's Take: AnDevCon focuses on Android
|
 The Android platform is gaining market share and mind share with amazing speed. While it’s clearly trailing iPhone’s large head start, in terms of installed base and number of independent applications, Android is sprinting to make up the gap.
Why is Android moving so fast? From the consumer side, it’s about choice. If you buy an iPhone, you get one model (with a choice of colors and amount of memory). One size must fit all. Want a physical keyboard? No. Want a choice of carriers? If you’re in the United States, no. There’s one handset currently sold with iOS 4, and it’s from Apple and runs on AT&T.
By contrast, you have a whole consortium of innovators pushing Android—and building on top of it. From multiple carriers like Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T, to competing manufacturers like HTC, Samsung and Motorola, everyone is free to build on the Android experience with different hardware features and add-on functions. That means consumers get choices galore.
Developers, too, have plenty of flexibility. Apple imposes strict limits on what developers can put into their iPhone apps—not only to ensure that the functions don’t crash the phone and aren’t malicious, but also to make sure they don’t compete against what Apple wants to sell. With Android, it’s the Wild Wild West. The market is wide open.
When you couple the broad base of manufacturer and carrier support with the open model for app distribution, you get unparalleled opportunities for developers and entrepreneurs.
That’s why BZ Media—the company behind SD Times—is launching AnDevCon: The Android Developer Conference, on March 7–9, 2011.
Join us for three days in San Francisco. We’ll have dozens of technical classes and workshops focused in three topic areas: programming for Android, using Android software in the enterprise, and how to market applications to the Android market.
If you want to learn all about Android development, please join us at AnDevCon. Hope to see you there!
PS: If you’re an expert in Android development and are an experienced instructor, the Call for Speakers for AnDevCon is open through mid-September.
