Code for America was founded to help the brightest minds of the Web 2.0 generation transform city governments. Cities are under greater pressure than ever, struggling with budget cuts and outdated technology. What if, instead of cutting services or raising taxes, cities could leverage the power of the web to become more efficient, transparent, and participatory?

We believe there is a wealth of talent in the web industry eager to contribute to the rebuilding of America. Code for America gives them the means.

Innovative, open source cloud computing software for building reliable cloud infrastructure.

libimobiledevice is a software library that talks the protocols to support iPhone®, iPod Touch® and iPad® devices on Linux. Unlike other projects, it does not depend on using any existing proprietary libraries and does not require jailbreaking. It allows other software to easily access the device's filesystem, retrieve information about the device and it's internals, backup/restore the device, manage SpringBoard® icons, manage installed applications, retrieve addressbook/calendars/notes and bookmarks and synchronize music and video to the device. The library is in development since August 2007 with the goal to bring support for these devices to the Linux Desktop.

Byzantine fault tolerance is a sub-field of error tolerance research inspired by the Byzantine Generals' Problem, which is a generalized version of the Two Generals' Problem.
The object of Byzantine fault tolerance is to be able to defend against Byzantine failures, in which components of a system fail in arbitrary ways (i.e., not just by stopping or crashing but by processing requests incorrectly, corrupting their local state, and/or producing incorrect or inconsistent outputs.). Correctly functioning components of a Byzantine fault tolerant system will be able to correctly provide the system's service assuming there are not too many Byzantine faulty components.

What is Newspeak?
Newspeak is a new programming language in the tradition of Self and Smalltalk. Newspeak is highly dynamic and reflective  – but designed to support modularity and security. It supports both object-oriented and functional programming.

Like Self, Newspeak is message-based; all names are dynamically bound. However, like Smalltalk, Newspeak uses classes rather than prototypes. As in Beta, classes may nest. Because class names are late bound, all classes are virtual, every class can act as a mixin, and class hierarchy inheritance falls out automatically. Top level classes are essentially self contained parametric namespaces, and serve to define component style modules, which naturally define sandboxes in an object-capability style. Newspeak was deliberately designed as a principled dynamically typed language. We plan to evolve the language to support pluggable types.

Next Byte Codes (NBC) is a simple language with an assembly language syntax that can be used to program LEGO's NXT programmable brick (from the new LEGO Mindstorms NXT set).

Not eXactly C (NXC) is a high level language, similar to C, built on top of the NBC compiler. It can also be used to program the NXT brick. NXC is basically NQC for the NXT. To compile NXC programs just use the NBC compiler with source code files that have a .nxc file extension.

If you are just getting started with programming, then graphical environments such as the Mindstorms NXT software may be better choices for you. If, however, you're a programmer and you prefer typing a few lines to drag and drop icon programming, then either NBC or NXC may be perfect for you.

Welcome to HiTechnic

MINDSTORMS® NXT. The majority of HiTechnic sensors are certified by The
LEGO Company assuring the highest standards of quality and safety.

HiTechnic Sensors are based on industrial sensor technology developed by
HiTechnic's parent company, Dataport Systems, Inc. Dataport has been supplying technology solutions to customers worldwide since 1986.

HiTechnic manufacturers sensors that are certified by The LEGO company guaranteeing:
- 100% compatible with Mindstorms NXT
- Meet the highest LEGO quality standards
- Comply with all safety standards
- RoHs Compliant (certified lead free)

The First HTML5 Mobile App Framework

Sencha Touch allows you to develop web apps that look and feel native
on Apple iOS and Google Android touchscreen devices.

Built with Web Standards
Sencha Touch is the world's first app framework built specifically to leverage HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript for the highest level of power, flexibility, and optimization. We make specific use of HTML5 to deliver components like audio and video, as well as a localStorage proxy for saving data offline. We have made extensive use of CSS3 in our stylesheets to provide the most robust styling layer possible.

Altogether, the entire library is under 80kb (gzipped and minified), and it's trivial to make that number even smaller by disabling unused components or styles.
