Any good articles on podcasting?

I work in the training department of a Federal agency. One of our department's goals for 2008 is to "do podcasting". Those involved are planning to select, what I consider to be, rather random topics. I thought that a podcast involved a series of episodes, like lectures from a semester long class. Also, their planned podcasts won't be what I call educational, but more informational.
Anyway, I would love some good articles or whitepapers on podcasting including what kinds of things/topics are best.

p.s. I think they are planning on placing each podcast in our LMS as a learning object, and/or emailing the MP3 as an attachment to everyone. I know itunesU is not a consideration (yet!).

I have been working with podcasts shortly after its conception a few years ago and I still have difficulties trying to explain the concept to people that never heard the word. A good starting point is wikipedia and Apple.
+This is the wikipedia alrticle:+
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting
+Here are a few Apple primers:+
http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcasts.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststips.html
+David Pogue explains it here in this simple and fun video:+
http://videos.howstuffworks.com/science-channel/7375-podcast-primer-video.htm
+Here they have various articles if you search for the keyword "podcast":+

You will find out that the key of a podcasting is the subscription model's delivery method via an RSS feed. Something not possible by just placing files in a server or by emailing attachemnts.
The best way to understand it is to experience it. You can refer people to the iTunes store (assuming they have iTunes installed) and have them search and subscribe to a couple of audio and video podcasts based on their job responsibilities or hobbies. You can also subscribe to most iTunes U classes for free.
Podcasting is an amazing communication medium. I now have two video podcasts and next week will also have a third audio program before summer ends. Those are personal projects but now I am helping large companies and organizations to create their own podcasts, mainly for educational purposes (aka training). Hope this helps.

Any good article about reference variables casting ...

Hi,
I am looking for a good and simple article on the reference variables downcasting (and yes I am searching the Internet too so please do not suggest that).
Please let me know if you know of any good article or if you can explain it well as I am having hard time to figure out when it is right and when it is used incorrectly.
Thanks,
Pritchard

Casting conversions are "right" when you need a reference of the particular type AND the underlying object is type-compatible with the declared variable.
"Downcasting" example:
Object o = new Object();
String s = (String) o; // BAD! The underlying object is not an instance of String
Object o = "foo";
String s = (String) o; // Okay.~

Any good articles on browser technology ?

Hello everyone,
Can someone recommend me some good articles on browser technology ?
I would like to know more about this in order to do better user interface design.
Thank you in advance !
Rachel

Err...
Good interface design is somewhat independent of browser technology. Or more precisely, you should be thinking about the simplest, most intuitive way for a customer to perform a task and then determining if the technology can support it, not the other way around.
I realize that in some corporate settings, you are kind of locked into a specific technology and need to come up with the best user interface that fits. Unfortunately, this does result in problems and unnecessary work, and generally, you won't be able to avoid it if technology is the primary focus.
In any case, pretty much the best user-interface "tutorial" that I know of is http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com. What they do is look at a bunch of well, really bad sites, and criticize them in such a way that you learn what not to do, and why.
I don't really think there is a similar best browser technology web site, because there are always multiple ways to code/present something and which method is best is a matter of personal preference. For example, ASP and JSP do almost functionally the same thing, and people tend to pick one or the other based on their familiarity with the syntax (Java verses VisualBasic).
Fortunately, the list of available technologies is rather short such that you can easily evaluate them and determine which is best suited to your needs. Off the top of my head, JavaScript and various Macromedia technologies (Flash, Shockwave) are pretty much the only universally accepted client-side technologies. VRML is also available, but not very commonly used.

Any good article on Java Interface usage principle?

Hi All
I find Java interface is quite good concept, but some expert mentioned in some article, "Don't over use it".
Just wonderring anyone can point me to some good article on the internet on In what kind sceniaro we need use Interface, in which case we'd better not use it.
Thanks in advance.
Steven

Then how do you explain some gurus said" don't overuse interface"?I explain it thus:
(a) it doesn't actually contradict what the article says
(b) 'don't overuse interfaces' is a tautology: it doesn't actually say anything very useful.
On the other hand there's no reason why "some gurus" can't disagree with Holub. I disagree myself to a large extent. You can define your entire API as interfaces, but then you're committed to all kinds of factory methods, and provision of secret implementation classes, etc. This can get pretty tedious pretty quickly. And, somewhere or other, you must have at least one actual class, so that you can have either a static method or a constructor, so you can get hold of your initial factory, or factory builder, or factory builder factory, or factory builder factory builder, or wherever it is that you want to start.
I've used frameworks where there were four different implementation classes for the same interface. Never did find out why. Something wrong somewhere.
When you can keep your base classes stable, I don't see a reason not to use them. 'Base class fragility' is all that Holub is really complaining about, and there are lots of solutions to that, such as 'don't' for a start. Java is chock full of stable base classes.

Good Article on Adobe Problems

Following is a good article on Adobe problems. I would stay away from Adobe if you can prevent it. There are many other good readers. Adobe's problems aren't worth the aggrevation. Believe me, I've been there.
www.lockergnome.com/theoracle/2010/06/29/step-up-see-the-show-adobe-9.3.3-released

LOL.
I love where the article says:
"Does anyone besides me think that anything that continues to have so many things to fix each quarter, month, or whatever the interval is chosen, is not very well written?"
So, does that mean we better ditch all forms of the Windows OS?
That statement alone takes away the authors credibility in my book.
(and by the way, I have very little issues with Reader nor any other product of Adobe)

What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repair for PCs and it makes me want to see if I can save this machine. It's in forensic recovery right now so I myself have not done anything yet.

What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repairs for other makes online. I would like to investigate whether a machine can be truly scrubbed or if it's best to retire it. I haven't done anything yet as it is a candidate for more extensive forensic recovery.
Also, I am not sure if various malicious spoofing and cloaking tricks (making Wi-Fi appear off when it is on, hiding unauthorized sharing/remote access, falsifying System Preferences preference panes, etc.) are resolved by a thorough drive erase or are more similar to APTs?
Finally, is there any emerging information regarding APT hiding places other than the recovery partition? I have heard mention of the EFI, for example, but it seems unproven and unlikely. Some people have also mentioned the RAM.
This is an upsetting topic to some people, including me, so I appreciate circumspect, measured responses. Thanks! And don't try to answer all my questions if you really just want to comment or answer one. All thoughts are appreciated.

Hi, Lincoln,
A straightforward question. You are correct in recognizing the difference between tentative conclusion and certainty. Here are our main reasons:
1. Incoming items noted on the console (or console sub logs) and Activity Monitor after defenses are overcome, and which are brought in by an unwelcome remote user, often have a process name and the word "kit." (Bear with me.) We soon observe the process is under attack, from terminal evidence and soon, decreased or lost functionality of the process. The terminal generally reports alteration of specific kernel behaviors. A simple example (that may or may not be accompanied by kernel changes and may simply alter permissions) is modifying Disk Utility such that key uses are unavailable. You can see how an attacker might value disabling partition views, mounting and permission repair. In retrospect, DU might not be a root alteration. I was thinking that its relation to fsck flagged it as a possible ring 0 item. I may need to know core parameters of a good example to pick strong ones.
2. Incoming folders hidden for possible later use contained bundles of similar root kits, including some not applicable to Macs. From what I have read from reasonably credible sources, root kits are sold and traded both singly and in bundles.
3. Root kits are a logical next choice for our attackers, as various prior techniques hindered us but did not paralyze us.
4. One of the most authoritative articles I found was about PCs not Macs. I noted the assertion, undocumented, that an estimated one million computers are infected by root kit manipulations, and underscored that the kits can be used by people with low computer skills.
5. MacAfee lists root kits (by description, not name) as a top pop five threat prediction in the coming year, though again, the emphasis is on PCs.
Linc, I am trying to show a spectrum of observations and info that have shaped my thinking. To retrieve better captured evidence requires significant legwork at this time, but it is something I am willing to do if you can be patient. Understand this long attack has been like a natural disaster to us.
I have not linked a few articles of interest because I forget if that's allowed. If so, I'd be glad to.
After reviewing this partial answer, you may form another hypothesis. If so, please share it. I am comfortable with my position but not clinging to it.
Thanks for your interest. Looking forward to your thoughts.
Oh, yeah: some material is out for analysis, so we should have credible opinions pretty soon. Not positive exactly when.

Are there any good black box testing tools for j2me?

Is there any good testing tools available for testing software on physical mobile devices?
I would like to partially replace manual testing with automated testing using a test tool. It should work on physical devices, and with the help of a script it should be possible to execute predefined sequences of button pressings on the device. Preferably there should also be some way of deciding whether the test was a succes without having to do so entirely manually.
The purpose with this would be to make it easier to go through the test protocols, which has to be done before every new software release.
Deviceanywhere.com looks promising at first glance but it is rather costly. Still, does anyone have an opinion of it?
Does anyone has experience of Mobile junit for this kind of testing? Is it possible to define series of physical button pressings with it? At first glance it doesn't seem so.
