Picking back up on his blog, Sean Coates shares a Dashboard widget he's created to do quick and dirty PHP interpreting on the fly:   I found myself using php -r on the command line to test some simple code snippets, and it occurred to me that this isn't "The Mac Way." So, following the excellent documentation at Apple, I managed to come up with something pretty useful in an afternoon.   His widget sits happily, ready to take in PHP code and output the result at the click of a button.

Okay, non-interview stuff first. I've recently picked up several 'shortcuts' from O'Reilly and Addison-Weseley.  I love this format.  For about 10 bucks, you can get a PDF only copy of a 50-100 page "book".  The shortcuts (so far at least) have been very focused, which allows them to cover a reasonable topic in sufficient depth without creating a monstrous 600+ page tome.  The shortcuts I've looked at so far have been timely, useful, and a great value.  October marks the beginning of Apress' push into Ruby and Ruby on Rails.    Apress also has Practical OCaml coming out soon to help soothe your inner functional programmer.  Now, on to interview news!

âWhatâs new in Leopard? A lot,â say Ken Mingis and Michael DeAgonia . The pair walk you through a 12-page analysis of the newest version of the Mac OS, spending time on many of the new features introduced in Leopard, including Stacks, Quick Look, Spaces, Time Machine, and numerous others. From Leopardâs âunified interfaceâ to major under-the-hood changes, to wholly new apps, Leopard is a substantial, albeit evolutionary, advance for Mac OS X that builds on a solid foundation and adds a modicum of eye candy to reinforce the notion that this is something new and improved. Itâs also fast â especially impressive given the new graphics sprinkled throughout the OS.â

Part Two Last time round, we cautiously dipped a toe into the Mac development waters from the perspective of a Windows programmer with RAD experience. Along the way, I briefly looked at the rudiments of Objective-C syntax, and I described terms such as 'framework' and 'Cocoa'. (Remember, the idea here is not to turn you into a killer Mac coder, but rather to look at the essentials of mainstream Mac development using terminology that's familiar to a .NET, Delphi, C++ or VB developer.)â¦

âItâs an improvement on an already stellar computer,â says Katherine Boehret (The Wall Street Journal), referring to the new iMac. âThe keyboard is radical-looking. Itâs much flatter and sleeker than typical desktop PC keyboards. I found it easier to type with.â Boehret goes on to explore iLife â08, âI quickly picked up on how to use the new features in iPhoto and iMovie, thanks to unintimidating, self-explanatory icons.â She continues, âMy video camera was instantly recognized when I plugged it into the iMacâ and âin just about 15 minutes, I created a short movie.â Boehret concludes, âThe new programs in iLife â08 are a pleasure to use, and the new iMac is a great way to experience them.â
