![]() ![]() Selection – The applications that were online left quite a bit to be desired. That would be a huge potential for rapid application development. it’s possible, for example, to load the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers fairly easily without worrying about all the requirements and and dependencies. Once downloaded, these applications are going to run faster and smoother and allow you to disconnect from the Internet (if you have too.ĭevelopment Possibilities – It goes without saying, having the ability to get quick access to development tools and an IDE quickly and easily is a real bonus for developers. Locally Stored Applications – If you can get over the mis-use of the terms “cloud” and “streaming”, I think there is a great argument for having these applications downloaded locally. Also, the plug-in is very simple to install once downloaded. While the plugin (currently a 26mb download) is not exactly quick to install – once you have it – getting the applications running on your system is fairly painless from then on. Running the Eclipse Java Development Environmentīrowser-Based Plug-in concept – This amazing as far as making the tool as portable as possible. These tools are great for testing applications you would otherwise not have installed on your computer – or for testing multiple versions of programs (like a browser). If you’ve ever had to spend an hour installing updates, just to start the installation of a program – you know what I mean. The Sandbox is a very powerful and popular concept that allows you to create a virtual copy of a system inside your system and, after using that system, remove all the stuff that you were running and working on. This protects your system from bad stuff – but also can be used to impersonate a computer that meets all the requirements (that you may not already have). Essentially applications are downloaded to a local location on your Windows system and then run in a Sandbox. does say “Run your apps from the cloud” – but that is false advertising – the applications are no more “streamed” as they are run from what is the “cloud”. Clearly that wasn’t working for them (monetarily, that is). Xenocode was then reborn as. ![]() ![]() Nifty, right? There is a story behind the marketing shtick though. Apparently Spoon.Net started life in 2007 (though the company seems to have been around much longer) as Xenocode – a security suite, browser sandbox and development platform. ![]()
