Here are some really useful command line shortcuts that I found on a forum awhile back but don't remember now: F1 Repeats the letters of the last command line, one by one F2 Displays a dialog asking user to "enter the char to copy up to" of the last command line F3 Repeats the last command line F4 Displays a dialog asking user to "enter the char to delete up to" of the last command line F5 Goes back one command line F6 Enters the traditional CTRL+Z (^z) F7 Displays a menu with the command line history F8 Cycles back through previous command lines (beginning with most recent) F9 Displays a dialog asking user to enter a command number, where 0 is for first command line entered
XOXO (eXtensible Open XHTML Outlines) is an XML microformat for outlines built on top of XHTML. Developed by several authors as an attempt to reuse XHTML building blocks instead of inventing unnecessary new XML elements/attributes, XOXO is based on existing conventions for publishing outlines, lists, and blogrolls on the Web. The XOXO specification defines an outline as a hierarchical, ordered list of arbitrary elements. The specification is fairly open which makes it suitable for many types of list data. E.g. the more semantic version of the S5 presentation file format is based upon XOXO.
XBEL, or the XML Bookmark Exchange Language, is an open XML standard for sharing Internet URIs, also known as bookmarks (or favorites in Internet Explorer). An example of XBEL use is the XBELicious application, which stores Del.icio.us bookmarks in XBEL format. The Galeon, Konqueror, Arora and Midori web browsers use XBEL as the format for storing user bookmarks. XBEL was created by the Python XML Special Interest Group [1] "to create an interesting , fun project which was both useful and would demonstrate the Python XML processing software which was being developed at the time," [2].
Greg Leake is very passionate about loosely-coupled service-oriented n-tiered application architecture. He has created an impressive service-oriented application called StockTrader. We will be highlighting his great work over the coming days with a four part mini-series on StockTrader. Most of the series will be comprised of demos of StockTrader in action and explanations of what's going on behind the scenes in this truly exemplary example of how to create a powerful client-server application that is based on a loosely-coupled service architecture. Further, the interoperability story here is excellent (one of the great advantages of standards-based protocols...). This is Part 1: An Architectural Overview of Stocktrader.
