It’s well known that Google runs its vast array of servers using a custom version of GNU/Linux. But this is only one aspect of its support for free software. Others include its Summer of Code, now well established as an incubator of both coding talent and projects, and more recently its open source code repository.

Many coders will reach a situation where developing a C extension makes sense, whether for doing ‘heavy lifting’, diving into assembly language, interfacing with other C code, etc. Luckily, developing a basic Ruby extension in C is easy.

MSDN website & magazine…Anything current???
A few years ago, well around 2000 - 2003 I was all against using another Microsoft product. These were the days of the anti-trust suites and post 9/11, Microsoft was still the bad guy. I became a die hard Linux guru and everything I implemented, all new projects at the company I worked for were presented to be built using Linux, it was easy and cheap. The desktop was still 100% dominated by Windows, Programming still had to be done in Windows. Spending much time and previously being a VB6 programmer and since moving on to C/C++, Perl, and PHP programming was back to the Windows desktop, it had been nearly 4 years since I had written a Windows form program in VB6, I had to find a new technology. I looked into .Net, 1.1 at the time. After using C-Style languages for a couple of years using VB.Net was even more obtuse. Moving from an event driven language to an object-oriented language was even more difficult but that is for another blog.
