Tabcon Beta 1 Released!!!
January 23rd, 2008 Filed under: Tabcon by Dan SchlegelWell, it has finally happened. I have been working on the project for about a year now and for most of that time have been the only developer on it. I toyed with releasing a beta in July, but decided that without proper support for a lot of learning scenerios it wasnt right to release it. I hope its enjoyable and you can learn a little something about concurrency through using it. Over time definitly expect updates to make the experiance better, and support more concurrency issues (atomics, livelock, synchronization, etc…) as right now it really only shows deadlocks in code. If you have any problems with it, would like to request a feature, etc, feel free to e-mail me.
Also as a side note, we moved servers earlier this weekend so that explains the downtime, and also why some of the posts randomly disappeared. I’m going to work on getting that content back over the next couple of days!
Tabcon Beta 1 Near Release!
January 17th, 2008 Filed under: Tabcon by adminHaven’t heard of a little concurrency learning tool called Tabcon? Well I’m not suprised. Very soon I will release the first beta of the software which I have been working on for over a year. So you are probably asking what it is. Tabcon stans for Tablet Concurrency. It is a Tablet PC application for teaching and learning about concurrent programming. The projects core idea was developed by Dr. Lin Qiu, and I have done most of the coding myself. For the last 8 months though with the departure of Dr. Qiu, I have been alone on the project. The project has been funded by Microsoft External Research and has been presented at a few conferences including WIPTE2007, and SUNY Oswego’s own QUEST2007. Learn more about it at it’s page on my web site, and be sure to stay tuned for an announcement when it is released!
