wIn this session we discuss a few techniques used in the development of Cyberdog and OpenDoc software; actual shipping software and commercial software currently under development. This means: no slideware, live demos, binaries provided, and example source code provided. Some topics that are covered include container applications today, CyberAboutBoxes, and testing tools.

<H3>Description:</H3>
Object-oriented programming has been promoted as a way to increase code reusability, code reliability, and get your socks whiter. The potential is there, but nobody seems to be sharing or selling classes that are truly reusable. In this paper, several small but powerful C++ base objects are described that can be taken and used as is, or, B
by overriding a few methods extended to fit a specific need in a product. Classes shown are a simple binary tree class, a FIFO queue, a Boyer-Moore search object, and a simple keyword class.

<H3>Topic Papers</H3>
<H3>Presented by Al Evans <mailto:al@powertools.com></H3>
<H3>Description:</H3>
Graphic Elements is a highly general graphics subsystem which offers performance on a par with dedicated "sprite" systems. A Graphic Element is an abstract entity that knows how and where to draw itself on a computer display, and may (or may not) know how to respond to all possible causes of change
in its appear-ance: the passage of time, contact with another Graphic Element, and direct action by the user. This paper discusses the design goals set for Graphic Elements, the design decisions made on the basis of those goals, and the insights gained by the author in the process of implementing those decisions in the real world of current microcomputers.

3>Presented by Dave Johnson (Apple) <dkj@apple.com></H3>
<H3>Description:</H3>
Juggling instruction for all levels, from absolute beginners to expert slingers-of-stuff. No matter how much or how little you know, you'll learn something here. Got a slow compiler and/or computer? Great! You'll have plenty of time to practice. Computational metaphors will be liberally sprinkled throughout as a teaching aid. Optional ins
truction on the various juggling notations and juggling theory, if requested.
<P><H3>About the Presenters:</H3>
Dave Johnson has been juggling for 17 years, programming the Macintosh for 11 years, working at Apple for 9 years, and doing the Technnical Editor thing at develop magazine for 6 years (since issue 3). But it was all a horrible accident. It wasn't supposed to happen that way. Except the juggling. That was on purpose.

as unemployed programmers, using our credit cards. We built annual sales up to $7 million in 1992 with 16 employees. In June of that year, the company was bought by Fifth Generation Systems for "an undisclosed amount." In 1994, Fifth Gen. was bought by Symantec, where I stayed for about 8 months. I am now developing on my own.
I am also a founding iB

My experience at wearing all the software company hats there are should be valuable to MacHack attendees.

Set aside your IM, AE Registry, and tech notes for the moment. Starting fresh, let's review the bare essentials you need to start making your app scriptable. Simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible, so let's ignore the rampant excesses of the AppleScript spec
\for now. We will introduce scripting with a simplified explanation of the concepts, and follow this up with implementation of a minimal, but very useful initial set of scripting functions. As an added bonus, we'll consider how to design your implementation for accessibility from BASIC as well as AppleScript.

Apple's Code Fragment Manager is cool, but we're about to face the same problem with code fragments that we did back in the "Year of the Extension." We'll soon begin to wonder what all those files are, why an "unrelated app" broke when someone installed a new application, and what goes with what?
Developers are already asking wB

Privacy software needs random numbers for a number of purposes, and these numbers must be qualitatively different from random numbers used for statistical software. This paper describes what makes random numbers of "cryptograpic quality," how to get sources of seed values for pseudo-random number generators, and pitfalls the unwary programmer can stumble into. It also includes a high-quality pseudo-random number generator that can be continuously updated with new observations of randomnessB

For some reason, everyone has heard that you can't over comment. Nobody says why you can't, nor does anyone really say what benefits you get from large comments. They just say they are good. Well, I'll say they can be bad, and I'll show 3 types of bad comments I have come across: over commenting; to cover up bad variable names; and poorly worded commB
ents. Following the examples of bad comments, I'll show some simple coding techniques, which most experienced programmers already know.

YA!MacApp and ODF, Status and FutureB+Janie Phillips (Apple) <jphillip@apple.com>
In this session Apple discusses how their frameworks have changed since last MacHack and their plans for the future. This includes discussion of the 'rolling release' plan for frameworks, designed to get the new technologies out quickly with emphasis on getting your feedback as the frameworks are developed. The frameworks team also discusses thier major goals, 'features, footprint, performance, scalability and ease of use' and how they are addressing them, and their strategy going forwardB
with sharing code across the frameworks, across Apple and across the industry. Finally, Apple discusses their commitment to fully support their Frameworks for the long term.
Janie Phillips is the engineering manager responsible for Apple's development frameworks. She holds a CS degree that led to many happy years of implementing and then managing Frameworks teams at Xerox and Apple, and some years in the middle managing application development using frameworks. She's had a real life mix of producing and using frameworks with lots of attitude and opinion as a result!

There is work for programmers in the Macintosh market. Some of it is easy to find. Some of it takes a little work to find. Some of it is not obvious. This session is a mix of all three. What markets are growing, which are not. We discuss where there is room for new software, who is hiring and how do you find opportunities.

Berardino Baratta has a Mechanical Engineering degree, which makes him perfectly suited to work as a Mac developer: he can make it up as he goes along. Although vicious rumors abound that he's actually a manager, he does his best to squash these by working on everything from the CFM68K compiler and linker to SIOUX, and he's lead on the IDE as well. Now if only he can figure out to read email while balancing his 7-month-old son on his knee, then he'll really be able to get some work done.B

Apple's Code Fragment Manager is cool, but we're about to face the same problem with code fragments that we did back in the "Year of the Extension." We'll soon begin to wonder what all those files are, why an "unrelated app" broke when someone installed a new application, and what goes with what?
Developers are already asking where to install fragments, what they should name them, and so forth. Apple's working on recommendations. Let's find out what they are up to, talk about it, and geB

Most companies never ship a single product on time. The theory of project management is easy to grasp, but the practical application of the theory is still being grappled with.

Berardino Baratta has a Mechanical Engineering degree, which makes him perfectly suited to work as a Mac developer: he can make it up as he goes along. Although vicious rumors abound that he's actually a manager, he does his best to squash these by working on everything from the CFM68K compiler and linker to SIOUX, and he's lead on the IDE as wC

Graphic Elements is a highly general graphics subsystem which offers performance on a par with dedicated "sprite" systems. A Graphic Element is an abstract entity that knows how and where to draw itself on a computer display, and may (or may not) know how to respond to all possible causes of change
in its appear-ance: the passage of time, contact with another Graphic Element, and direct action by the user. This paper discusses the design goals set for Graphic Elements, the design decisions made on the basis of those goals, and the insights gained by the author in the process of implementing those decisions in the real world of current microcomputers.

Loss-less compression is exactly what it sounds like. Data is compressed and later restored to its original form - modem transmission, disk, and tape storage, and RAM compression all depend upon data being restored EXACTLY as it was before. But some forms of compression are better than others. In the last twenty years the field ofB
data compression has changed significantly both because of better algorithms and faster computers. This paper surveys the current state of compression and examines some of the pitfalls.

<H3>Presented by Chris Russ <mailto:jcr6@aol.com></H3>
<H3>Description:</H3>
Loss-less compression is exactly what it sounds like. Data is compressed and later restored to its original form - modem transmission, disk, and tape storage, and RAM compression all depend upon data being restored EXACTLY as it was before. But some forms of compression are better than others. In the last twenty years the field ofB
data compression has changed significantly both because of better algorithms and faster computers. This paper surveys the current state of compression and examines some of the pitfalls.

innovative body of code has been adopted as an important part of the new ANSI draft standard C++ and promises to dramatically influence the way C++ programmers work. STL is simultaneously efficient, general, and compact in representation. Its central paradigm is the decomposition of programming tasks into generalized algorithms that work on 'containers'. The containers hold native C++ data
^types or user-defined objects. This approach, known as generic programming, drastically reduces the code base necessary to handle many common programming tasks. In this presentation, I will introduce STL and show examples of its application in Macintosh programming. The current state of STL support in Macintosh C++ compilers will also be reviewed.

fA'Steps to Natural Language ScriptabilityB+Cal Simone (Main Event) <mainevent@his.com>
jAs a lead-off to the Scriptability sessions, this is a short overview of the steps to making applications scriptable and a discussion about how to design a natural language terminology. This will also serve as your roadmap to the other sessions on AppleScript and Apple events. If you want to implement scriptability in your application, come to this session.
Technologies Here & NowI
Cal Simone has devoted his life to bringing scripting to the masses. In addition to teaching AppleScript at corporate sites, he writes the regular scripting column for Apple's develop magazine, and his article "Designing a Scripting Implementation," offered the first guidelines, conventions, tips, and tricks for those implementing scriptability. He is also a founder of Main Event Software, publisher of tools for AppleScript.

AQGraphic Elements: Designing a High-Performance, Highly General Graphics
SubsystemB
Al Evans <al@powertools.com>
Graphic Elements is a highly general graphics subsystem which offers performance on a par with dedicated "sprite" systems. A Graphic Element is an abstract entity that knows how and where to draw itself on a computer display, and may (or may not) know how to respond to all possible causes of change in its appear-ance: the passage of time, contact with another Graphic Element, and direct action by the user. This paper discusses the design goals set for Graphic Elements, the design decisionsB
made on the basis of those goals, and the insights gained by the author in the process of implementing those decisions in the real world of current microcomputers.

<H2>Designing and Writing a Fully Capable 'aete' Resource</H2>
<H3>Topic Technologies Here & Now</H3>
<H3>Presented by Cal Simone (Main Event) <mailto:mainevent@his.com></H3>
<H3>Description:</H3>
Your terminology is the window through which users can explore the capabilies of your application available through scripting. In this session we cover devising a terminology, the structure of an 'aete', and tools for editing 'aete' resources. We then discuss how to use the 'aete' as your funct
ional specification to adding scriptability to your application.

For some reason, everyone has heard that you can't over comment. Nobody says why you can't, nor does anyone really say what benefits you get from large comments. They just say they are good. Well, I'll say they can be bad, and I'll show 3 types of bad comments I have come across: over commenting; to cover up bad variable names; and poorly worded commB
ents. Following the examples of bad comments, I'll show some simple coding techniques, which most experienced programmers already know.

Berardino Baratta has a Mechanical Engineering degree, which makes him perfectly suited to work as a Mac developer: he can make it up as he goes along. Although vicious rumors abound that he's actually a manager, he does his best to squash these by working on everything from the CFM68K compiler and linker to SIOUX, and he's lead on the IDE as well. Now if only he can figure out to read email while balancing his 7-month-old son on his knee, then he'll really be able to get some work done.B

A#Basic Debugging Tips and TechniquesB%Michael Rutman <moose@manicmoose.com>
In this session, we will discuss simple changes to your code, which will help prevent bugs in the first place, and what to do when a bug sneaks through. First we will talk about asserts, variable names, encapsulation, and other code practices that help prevent bugs. Then we will discuss crashes and how to track them using an Assembly-level debugger. While the demonstration will be in Jassik's Debugger, the techniques shown will work in any debugger. Feel free to bring a powerbook and dB
ebug along with me.

Jonathan Hess is one of the few contract Macintosh programmers in Phoenix -- most recently doing a year and a half stint for Metrowerks. Presently, Jonathan is working at ViviStar Consulting on a "VText" extension to PowerPlant. VText is of course fully factored and scriptable! Professional interests are Software Engineering, Computer Graphics, and Computer Aided Geometric Design. Jonathan's short term goal is to rationalize purchasing a jet ski -- "it will really help cope with the 110B

<H2>The Standard Template Library (STL) and Macintosh Programming</H2>
<H3>Topic Papers</H3>
<H3>Presented by George Geller <mailto:71321.2544@CompuServe.COM></H3>
<H3>Description:</H3>
The Standard Template Library (STL) was developed by Alexander Stepanov and Meng Lee. This large and innovative body of code has been adopted as an important part of the new ANSI draft standard C++ and promises to dramatically influence the way C++ programmers work. STL is simultaneously efficient, general,
and compact in representation. Its central paradigm is the decomposition of programming tasks into generalized algorithms that work on 'containers'. The containers hold native C++ data types or user-defined objects. This approach, known as generic programming, drastically reduces the code base necessary to handle many common programming tasks. In this presentation, I will introduce STL and show examples of its application in Macintosh programming. The current state of STL support in Macin

FIn this session we present a technical overview of the Pippin platform and its future directions. We discuss a few of the marketing issues, but it is mostly a technical, taking-apart-the-guts sort of presentation. After this session programmers will have a clear understanding of what they must do to create Pippin titles.

For some reason, everyone has heard that you can't over comment. Nobody says why you can't, nor does anyone really say what benefits you get from large comments. They just say they are good. Well, I'll say they can be bad, and I'll show 3 types of bad comments I have come across: over commenting; to cover up bad variable names; and poorly worded comments. Following the examples of bad comments, I'll show some simple coding techniques, which most experienced programmers already know.

A%Old Possums Book of Practical ObjectsB!Shane D. Looker <Looker1@aol.com>
Object-oriented programming has been promoted as a way to increase code reusability, code reliability, and get your socks whiter. The potential is there, but nobody seems to be sharing or selling classes that are truly reusable. In this paper, several small but powerful C++ base objects are described that can be taken and used as is, or, by overriding a few methods extended to fit a specific need in a product. Classes shown are a simple binary tree class, a FIFO queue, a Boyer-Moore searchB% object, and a simple keyword class.

The Standard Template Library (STL) was developed by Alexander Stepanov and Meng Lee. This large and innovative body of code has been adopted as an important part of the new ANSI draft standard C++ and promises to dramatically influence the way C++ programmers work. STL is simultaneously efficient, general, and compact in representation. Its central paradigm is the decomposition of programming tasks into generalized algorithms that work on 'containers'. The containers hold native C++ data
^types or user-defined objects. This approach, known as generic programming, drastically reduces the code base necessary to handle many common programming tasks. In this presentation, I will introduce STL and show examples of its application in Macintosh programming. The current state of STL support in Macintosh C++ compilers will also be reviewed.

A-Experiences Implementing SMTP with PowerPlantB&Christopher Haupt <cfh@cyberpuppy.com>
This paper provides an introduction to the Simple Mail Transport Protocol. It explains the basic state machine that describes the protocol, and details the flow of information that encompasses a mail transaction. A Metrowerks PowerPlant implementation of the basic SMTP mechanism is presented, with details on how to get started with the PowerPlant networking classes. Some of the issues you must watch out for with the current class framework are revealed.

A(Scriptability: A Bare-Bones IntroductionB%Kevin C. Killion <kevin@shsmedia.com>
Set aside your IM, AE Registry, and tech notes for the moment. Starting fresh, let's review the bare essentials you need to start making your app scriptable. Simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible, so let's ignore the rampant excesses of the AppleScript spec for now. We will introduce scripting with a simplified explanation of the concepts, and follow this up with implementation of a minimal, but very useful initial set of scripting functions. As an added bonus, Bfwe'll consider how to design your implementation for accessibility from BASIC as well as AppleScript.
