learn

With Apple's iPad 3 announcement coming tomorrow (March 7, 2012), I took a few minutes last night to reflect on various Jonathan Ive interviews I've read over the years. Here are a few notes on what I learned by reading those interviews.

As a follow-up to my popular first GarageBand tutorial, my second tutorial on creating a podcast with GarageBand shows you how to add introductory music, special effects, delete recordings, and move clips to control gaps in your podcasts, and introduces the concept of ducking.

Digging through my Mac laptop, I just found the old Tame Swing files laying around. These examples are a little old now, but I think they are great examples of the power of the Java Swing framework. Since they are hard to find on the internet I've gathered them into a little collection here.

Currently I just have the Java source code files there, but give me a couple of days and I'll see what I can do to get some of the examples running, and maybe include some screen shots there as well.

Yikes, I fixed a lot of the formatting of my "Introduction to Function Point Analysis" tutorial. I didn't realize how terrible the formatting was before. I still need to style it up a bit more and create a print style sheet, but at least you can read it now. Ugh, that was bad.
