Interresting Fact, the old still rules...

aku baru aja baca hal yang cukup menarik barusan..

sebuah artikel berjudul
"a confession of a cobol programmer" oleh tam herbert

yang isi-nya tentang sebuah hal baru, yang lama, tentang bahasa cobol.. sebuah bahasa yang bisa di bilang sudah 'mati' ternyata sekarang masih sangat kuat di pakai..

mungkin hal ini menarik sebab di aku merasa sedikit 'senasib' di sini, di perusahaan yang saat ini sedang aku handle menggunakan foxpro 2.6 untuk primary business tools-nya. Dan kita outsource ke seorang programmer senior, yang sudah sangat dekat dengan perusahaan ini sehingga sering sesuka-nya.. :D.

hal ini membuatku sedikit ber-refleksi, despite my knowledge of a latest programming language like Java or .Net, this business still rely on this pretty old language.. but then again language is a tools to accomplished a goals and that is a controllable situation or a managed environment.

hm.. but nevertheless it remind me that life is not about the tools but it's more about the goal.. and try to do it as graceful as it can :D

back to work then..

Gambar
Beberapa hari yang lalu ada sebuah ide muncul di kepala ini, bagaimana kalau seandai-nya bisa memecah modul program yang aku buat menjadi beberapa file yang bisa di update atau di buang setiap saat, dengan modul konfigurasi tentu-nya. Maka di mulai lah perjalanan-ku dalam mencari bagaimana cara-nya di lazarus, tentu saja memang solusi-nya yang sekilas keluar di mata adalah BPL, cuma masalah-nya kalau di lazarus tidak bisa compile library dan di load pada saat runtime, hilang 1 opsi, maka setelah itu aku coba cari opsi lain, AHA ! DLL aja tuh.. Dynamic Link Library kalau di windows, .so kalau di linux.. di Mac aku ngga tau.. setelah beberapa saat browsing.. aku menemukan beberapa kendala dalam penggunaan dan pembuatan library di lazarus dan sangat mencolok adalah ngga bisa-nya fungsi ShareMem yang ngga bisa di pakai. tapi memang belum afdol kalau tidak dicoba sendiri. oke.. pertama kita bikin library-nya.. Buka IDE Lazarus Buka New.. Project | Library Setelah itu kita akan di sajikan e...

software application

In term of application software construction, sometimes the primary goals that i thought is that giving a deliverable, which is an application running with out problem program.. with the application program is standing on some infrastructure such as Operating System, Virtual Machine, and also built upon some language that most popular so that it's continuity support is guaranteed. but recently i crossed my mind, that the main commodity that we should provide is the service to gather information and in unified way so that enable us to easily retrieve in sometime in the future. so.. in that context i can say that the main deliverable is the mechanism and steps to help our client to gather data in unified way.. hm.. i think this is a basic knowledge that thought in MIS Lecture.. but who am i but some who damned to remember again and again.. hehehe like they say, more often you stumbled into something same, the more expert you'll be come.
