Now that Apple has announced Tiger they've filled in some missing pieces from their WWDC Descriptions.

Hmmm support for OpenEXR and Floating Point TIFF(an insane 32bits per pixel)
http://www.openexr.com/samples.html Yup Apple you'll definitely have my $129 |

Which means... You have your data in memory, you set up how to save it out to a file format... or database... or whatever... and your core logic and data model never have to change. So, *just suppose* that somewhere down the road Apple whips up a database file system. Guess what apps have to change to be compliant? Maybe a few lines of code. At most. This facilitates the developer by helping them form an XML schema (which can be a bitch) for their data, spooling it out, reading it in, etc, etc, etc... which can *also* be used to create an SQL schema (remember, they're shipping with SQLite in 10.4), so you can save it to a database with a simple change or two. Of course, I'm just guessing, but this seems to be the most logical progression. Oh yeah... this is excellent. |

Kickaha yeah you're not the only one to call it EOF lite. This is interesting. Does iLife currently share a common db or do all the apps have their own db? Would there be a benefit from encompassing all the iLife apps into one db so that future changes to the fs etc would require less work?

MS is going to have a serious problem on their hands with their developers when their database file system hits, since apps will have to be seriously rewritten for it. Not optionally, it'll be required. Not trivially, it'll suck. This future-proofs Mac developers for the inevitable. |

Yup pi agrees with you
and so does argod at macnn I am clueless on EOF and actually though it was a technology from NeXT that was being relatively abandoned. I see the strategy here. Preparing developers for developing in a way that deals effectively with db schema while at the same time getting end users familiar with search methods that favor this structure(Spotlight) Ok time to get Trekkie Apple is decloaking and lowering shields ready to fire the warbirds arsenal at Longhorn. Apple's the nimble one here but Longhorn has superior size and firepower. Looks like 10.5 will take that last step to engage the photon torpedoes and launch an offensive. 2007 is going to be an interesting battle glad I'll be a part of that as a grunt soldier.

sunrein I warned you with the face that something extremely stoopid was comin'.
Man I'm not going to have any free time come fall...in addition to all the math I have to take this next year I have to absorb basic programming principals. I'm gonna be reading until my eyeball dry out. Well at any rate "Catfish" and "Dhaveconfig" from Ars- Mac Ach are most enamored with Core Data's implications. Kickaha has explained it well I believe but to be fair the concept is still way over my head as far as how deep EOF lite will go and it's ramifications. With two sessions including an advanced session it seems important enough. Red Alert! LOL |
