COM Sailfish OS Job Interview Preparation Guide. Question # 1 Tell us what you know about Sailfish OS? Answer:- Sailfish is a Linux-based mobile operating system developed by Jolla in cooperation with the Mer project and supported by the Sailfish Alliance. It is to be used in upcoming smartphones by Jolla and other licencees. Although it is primarily targeted at mobile phones, it is also intended to support other categories of devices. Read More Answers. Question # 2 Explain Sailfish OS Components? Answer:- Jolla has revealed its plans to use the following technologies in Sailfish OS: The Mer software distribution core A custom built user interface HTML5 QML and Qt Read More Answers. Question # 3 Do you know about Sailfish OS software availability? Answer:- Sailfish will be able to run most applications that were originally developed for MeeGo and Android, in addition to native Sailfish applications. This will give it a large catalogue of available apps on launch. Considering upon Jolla's declarations that Sailfish OS is be able to use software from following platforms Sailfish (natively created + ported like from Qt, Symbian, MeeGo - developers have reported that porting a Qt written software with Sailfish SDK takes a few hours only) Android applications are directly running in Sailfish OS. They are compatible as they are in third-party Android stores, with no needed modification (in most cases). MeeGo (because of backward compatibility thanks to MeeGo code legacy included in the Mer core) Unix and Linux (as Sailfish is Linux then using such a software is possible, especially RPM packages, either in terminal/console mode or with limitations implying from using Sailfish UI, if not ported and adjusted) HTML5 Read More Answers.

For more than 15 years, operational GUIs for accelerator controls and some lab applications for equipment experts have been developed in Java, first with Swing and more CRITERIA FOR SELECTING A NEW GUI recently with JavaFX. In March 2018, Oracle announced that Java GUIs were not part of their strategy anymore [1].

We took the opportunity • Technical match: suitability for Desktop GUI to reconsider all technical options for developing development and good integration with the existing operational GUIs. Our options ranged from sticking with controls environment (Linux, Java, C/C++) and the JavaFX, over using the Qt framework (either using PyQt APIs to the control system; or developing our own Java Bindings to Qt), to using Web • Popularity among our current and future developers: technology both in a browser and in native desktop little (additional) learning effort, attractiveness for new applications.

Shortly after the hurricane struck, our scientists, through our Rapid Response program, began to conduct research to understand how Harvey has impacted the coast and offshore Gulf of Mexico. This research will help determine the best ways to deal with many coastal issues in the aftermath of the storm, and how we might better prepare for such events in the future. You can read more about the mission on page 18.

This is what we strive to do here at the THE CHICXULUB CRATER FORMED BY THE Jackson School of Geosciences. This year’s Newsletter holds some tremendous examples.
