Designed for ease of use, it plugs into a telephone jack or LAN connection for Internet hookup. and other intelligent electronic products with the launch of its Web site, DevelopOnline.com on Oct. 2. The site is a collaborative, online development center for programmers This is a list of programmers notable for their contributions to software, either as original author or architect, or for later additions. See also: Game programmer, List of computer scientists , innovators innovators people who will try new things. early innovators important figures in the farming or client community because they are the leaders in the introduction of new techniques and management systems. and engineers to design new products or improve upon existing products over the Web, resulting in faster time to market and increased revenue. The advanced architecture of the site, which has not been available until now, targets small and large enterprises, and enables developers to gain instant access to working reference designs from multiple suppliers. The first companies to provide their leading edge technology to developers through DevelopOnline include Analog Devices, Avnet, Intel, Lineo, MontaVista, Motorola, PLX Technology PLX Technology, Inc., PLX Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLXT) is based in Sunnyvale, California, USA, and is currently the world’s leading supplier of PCI Express and other standard I/O interconnect semiconductors to the communications, server, storage, embedded-control, and , and STMicroelectronics. Traditionally, software development has been the one element in the electronic design process that requires the longest lead time. DevelopOnline addresses this need for software resources by providing instant availability to the latest device platforms necessary to the electronic design process. Programmers have a native Web environment that provides easy access to software resources without the need for time consuming and unwieldy downloads. DevelopOnline turns the Web into an online product accelerator that collapses engineering cycle time and ensures products are brought to market faster. "We can effectively capture an idea online, when it's essentially no more than scribble scribble - To modify a data structure in a random and unintentionally destructive way. "Bletch! Somebody's disk-compactor program went berserk and scribbled on the i-node table." "It was working fine until one of the allocation routines scribbled on low core. on a blank paper napkin a napkin made of paper, intended to be disposed of after use. See also: Napkin , and move it through each phase of development," said Alan Steinberg Dr. Alan Steinberg is an American author. He has published Divided, a collection of short stories, and Cry of the Leopard, a novel. In addition an opera of The Falcon and the Sailor Boy, for which Steinberg wrote the libretto, was recently performed at SUNY Potsdam, starring , chief executive officer of DevelopOnline. "We bring innovators and the marketplace together, with the end goal of capturing first mover mover /mov·er/ (moo´ver) that which produces motion. prime mover a muscle that acts directly to bring about a desired movement. advantage." Products are becoming increasingly sophisticated. In many cases, they must be tailored to meet target market requirements. DevelopOnline provides access to working reference platforms provided by the world's leading electronic product manufacturers. By using DevelopOnline technologies, innovators can instantly improve upon existing products and applications or choose to create entirely new ones online. Innovators will begin by building the initial framework of their idea online. Then, they can move through each critical phase of development from exploration and prototyping, to development and production, while building their product or application on real hardware platforms Each hardware platform, or CPU family, has a unique machine language. All software presented to the computer for execution must be in the binary coded machine language of that CPU. Following is a list of the major hardware platforms in existence today. See platform. to determine actual performance. Now, technology vendors have the quickest possible path to their development communities, as well as unprecedented access to the latest in electronic platform and component technology. The average time for a new idea to move from concept to production is about 18 to 24 months. This time consuming process often creates a divergence divergence In mathematics, a differential operator applied to a three-dimensional vector-valued function. The result is a function that describes a rate of change. The divergence of a vector v is given by within the market between those who want the capability and those who can deliver the technology. For the manufacturer, this means products and applications are consistently late reaching their target markets and revenue opportunities are not realized. "There are similarities between DevelopOnline's Web site and the increasingly successful Web-based marketplaces for open source development -- global collaboration, community creation around products, cost reduction, and reliable products," said Bill Claybrook, Research Director, Aberdeen Group Aberdeen Group is a provider of business-related research services. It has its headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts and belongs to the Harte-Hanks group. Founded in 1988, Aberdeen's research is used by over 2. . "DevelopOnline has created a new exciting environment that can significantly reduce the time to market for embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. Linux-based products." By lowering the entry barriers to product creation, DevelopOnline can significantly reduce the cost of continuous innovation thereby dramatically increasing potential revenue. Clients of DevelopOnline will see their technologies exposed to much broader audiences, while innovators are able to manipulate, develop applications, and test their work on actual hardware platforms. The end result for technology providers is more design wins, reduced engineering cycle time, and a faster production ramp. Because DevelopOnline is designed for online collaboration, the site is built using Linux, one of the leading open source software platforms. Linux is a multi-user, multi-tasking operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. that has initiated online collaboration among its more than 12 million users. About DevelopOnline DevelopOnline is a Tempe-based open platform development site for e-collaboration designed to reduce the total cost of innovation by introducing foundational building blocks to the electronic design process over the Internet. By reducing engineering cycle time, DevelopOnline can help to accelerate time to market initiatives through an open environment that fosters creativity and defines the quickest path between innovators, the latest technology platforms, and their target markets. DevelopOnline currently employs 85 people. DevelopOnline will preview their Web site at the Embedded Systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve.
