Inside VMware Fusion
January 8, 2009 - 1:35 pm

Google Tech Talks October, 17 2007 ABSTRACT Join Ben Gertzfield of VMware for a look behind the curtain at virtualization on the Mac, the technology that frees operating systems from their earthly hardware chains. Similar in spirit to the ideals of the microkernel and distributed computing, the abstracted and idealized CPU, storage, network, and other devices provided by virtualization remove the barriers formed by the underlying realities of heterogeneous physical hardware. We'll discuss the technologies forming and building upon virtualization, including the hypervisor (or virtual machine monitor), replay (deterministic recording and replaying of all hardware and software events), and virtual machine-based disaster recovery. In addition, we'll share the lessons learned from jumping head-first into the consumer software and Mac worlds, and how "thinking different" applies to porting a massive source code base to its third platform (after Linux and Windows). This talk will be taped by the engEDU Tech Talks Team. Speaker: Ben Gertzfield Ben Gertzfield is the lead developer of VMware Fusion for Mac, VMware's first virtualization solution for Intel Macs, currently available for free trial download. Ben graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a degree in computer science, and subsequently lived and worked in Japan be...

"The Clean Code Talks -- Inheritance, Polymorphism, & Testing"
January 8, 2009 - 1:35 pm

Google Tech Talks November 20, 2008 ABSTRACT Is your code full of if statements? Switch statements? Do you have the same switch statement in various places? When you make changes do you find yourself making the same change to the same if/switch in several places? Did you ever forget one? This talk will discuss approaches to using Object Oriented techniques to remove many of those conditionals. The result is cleaner, tighter, better designed code that's easier to test, understand and maintain. Speaker: Misko Hevery

Cognitive Technology on a Mobile Platform
January 8, 2009 - 1:35 pm

Google Tech Talks May, 27 2008 ABSTRACT Mobile devices have great potential to increase independence for people with cognitive disabilities. Besides basic communication, which is itself very important, key features include location awareness, which can be used to help with public transportation, and remote management, which allows a caregiver to manage content, such as schedule information, on a user's device. A recent projects course at the University of Colorado developed promising prototypes on the Android platform, and suggested useful platform enhancements, especially relating to speech technology.
