The question what exactly defines "native look and feel" never gets awnsered
|
|
|
|
|
The default look of the operating system and or window manager/desktop environment.

Last time I wrote front end stuff I recall OS producers having intensely complex style guides for "look and feel compliance."
Unless of course you're writing for Linux, in which case "native look and feel" means "throw a bunch of poorly aligned crap at the screen and say 'well its like, open source man, change it yourself' whenever anybody complains."

To further my previous reply:
Managed = .NET
Metadata = Data about data
Taxonomy = Division into ordered groups or categories
Infrastructure = Framework

"Engaging" is a buzzword for the Marketing people around me. "It needs to be engaging"... okay, so, explain what you mean by "engaging".
..their definition changes every time I ask them to define "engaging".. and believe me, they like to throw that word around a lot.
If you don't succeed, redefine success!

'Engaging' used to mean to me that the fire control officer had selected a green dot on a radar and that we were going to point radars at the plane that caused the dot and prepared to launch a missile at it.

It means anything but informative: annoying, irritating, embarrassing, deceitful, rude, stupid... but it's a little more than that.
Basically it means to stand out from the other annoying, irritating, embarrassing, deceitful, rude, stupid... adverts.

So you mean kind of like "We need to make this so Apple like, the whole world will be interested"?

It's more about capturing someones attention rather than their interest. The "free set of steak knifes" approach. Once viewers are aware, they move on to the next con job.
When I left that industry, time shifting was a big deal in TV. Make sure your target demographic(s) see the ad x number of times and then as they fast-forward through pre-recorded programming, the ad still "engages" them subliminally.
They got software that does that but it's based on ratings. Ratings are provided by the networks and naturally bias.

@RobCroll, 100% spot on and 100% engaging !!!
|
|
|
|
|
Well it also depends on what the scenario is..
Engaging means like what my peer said - to stand out, to basically be able to captivate the audience. But then again, if you're on the (USS) Starship Enterprise and are fighting against the Romulan Empire - I highly doubt this version of engaging will be helpful.

It actually is not even a word, more a 'buzz syllable': App
'App' is very similar to the sound I make when punched with a fist, but obviously some marketing guys came to the conclusion that we all are only able to communicate with grunts and would not understand anything with more than one syllable. Anyway, I wonder how popular this 'word' is going to be when the gold rush finally is over.

Couldn't agree more. I hate the syllable. Especially its pervasive use in so-called technical documentation such as the MSDN Library.

I had a friend approach me because he knows I program and he said he wanted to get into making apps.
Actually, I think a lot of people that use that term are actually referring to mobile applications.

Some people at my company are considering Liferay as a possible replacement for SharePoint and Umbraco. Wanting to learn more about it, I came across that page, and here are a few nuggets I found:
Quote: Liferay Portal is an enterprise web platform for building business solutions that deliver immediate results and long-term value.
I know I like "long-term value" and "immediate results" when "building business solutions". Sounds like a useful "enterprise web platform".
Quote: Start Delivering Value Today
Why, just the other day I was talking about delivering value. I can't wait!

Are you sure that isn't a Microsoft product? I've a shelf full of brochures here, produced by MS, all supposedly about their products (Sharepoint, Exchange, W2K8 and - more particularly - the various pre-packaged combinations of such that they sell as Small Business Server or similar.
I've complained bitterly to them in the past about these materials, because they consist of endless streams of business buzz-words and jargon, padded out with phrases that sound like badly constructed "mission statements".
The one thing these publicity materials do not do, is tell you what the product does and why you might want to use it - as a long-time MS partner and reseller, if I cannot make out what a product actually is for from its own publicity materials, what chance have I got of selling to anyone else.
|
|
|
|
|
At least it doesn't move to the right the paradigm shift that leverages the underlying synergy
|
|
|
|
|
The fact that the product is used by the all-powerful French Ministry of Defense does not exude confidence... 
|
|
|
|

IDK, Liferay just seems like it is going to have a lot of maintenance issues... unless your company is very good about restricting which bits of the open source project your developers work on... and then there are still things like reporting capabilities, mobile phone access.. cloud access.. that you get from sharepoint...???
I'd blame it on the Brain farts.. But let's be honest, it really is more like a Methane factory between my ears some days then it is anything else...

Deciphering that actually means Shafer has failed more than once in business and has been using a computer for a little over 2 years.
This guy sounds like he should give up trying to con people, he's too stupid.
