Using Git Fast Version Control in Windows

Somebody hears about git??, first I explain what is Git,

An official definition from http://git.or.cz/ says:

Git is an open source version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency, but just as well suited for small personal repositories; it is especially popular in the open source community, serving as a development platform for projects like the Linux Kernel, Ruby on Rails, WINE or X.org.

Yesterday I downloaded a version from windows in order to try Sproutcore Demos, a link is above, but remember git is multiplataform. I tried on Sun Solaris and the performance is excellent.

Ruport, Creating Reports with Ruby on Rails

Today I am talking about Ruport. two weeks ago I knew about ruport that is

A simple, extensible reporting system for Ruby on Rails

It's amazing and easy to use. Only you need download the gem since rubyforge with the next command:

gem install ruport

previously yo need to install Ruby for Win, Linux or MacOSX, after that you need to have Rails installed (gem install rails -v VERSION_YOU_NEED) for example

gem install rails -v 1.2.6

I recommend use Rails 1.2.6 and NetBeans like IDE. It's the perfect partner for create a great website!!

HI, Everybody, this year maybe it's going to be the revolution of OpenSource, for example, Sun Microsystems bought MySQL AB, this act represent the power of the JAVA company, at the same time, I'm guess.

WHY IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHMS?

Maybe, the main idea is the same in diferents species of EA's, are based in the Concept of Neo-Darwinism. Simulate the devolopment of species and applied recombination or mutation operators. it's can solving differents Search and Optimization problems. The three principal paradigms are:

ES (Evolutionary Strategies)
GA (Genetic Algorithms)
EP ( Evolutionary Programming)

each one, it was develop in differents view, but all are powerful.

there're new evolutionary approaches like PSO (particle swarm optimization), DE (Differential Evolution) and ACS (Ant Colony System).

if you interested in known more about some evolutionary techinique, you might send me a mail, after that I am going to response with papers and information about it.
