I want to use Lua....but what about the IDE?

I think that the title said it all, you look to Lua as a good language to create whatever you're planning to, but then you face a neat problem: The IDE.
This post is dedicated to Lua devs and game devs, specially those that decided to use Corona SDK as an application platform (more game SDK than app SDK).

The steps to follow are:

1. Download and install IntelliJ Community Edition or pay for other versions (is not really necessary if you don't really need) from here http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html
2. Download Lua plugin for IntelliJ here http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?idea_ce&id=5055
3. Now unzip Lua plugin and copy IDLua folder to intelliJ's plugin folder in a path like this C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 10.5\plugins (is very likely that your folder path is another one)
4. Open IntelliJ and access Settings in the file menu or type Ctrl+Alt+S. In IDE Settings section you'll see the Plugins area, click it and check if Lua is listed on the right panel. If isn't appearing there try to install trough available list or follow this tutorial https://bitbucket.org/sylvanaar2/lua-for-idea/wiki/Home
5. Hey its done!!! When you start project creation you'll see Lua option in the list...

Now for Corona SDK

1. Download the Corona SDK for IntelliJ here https://bitbucket.org/sylvanaar2/idlua-sdk-corona/wiki/Home
2. Unzip the package into a fixed place, this means that this folder (Corona SDK for IntelliJ) must remain there as long as you're using it with the IDE
3. After creating the project you will work into select project's root and type F4 to access project structure.
4. Here click in SDKs in Platform Settings section and in Lua sdk add a new Classpath, in this case the path to your Corona SDK fixed folder.
5. Ready to rumble!!! Now you have intellisense for Corona code and the documentation (type ctrl+q to access it)

Note: You must add SDK's and API's in every project you need them.

If you have any problems adding sdk's and api's follow the tutorials bellow or email me: vitor dot navarro87 at gmail dot com

Google it but try to Bing it too...

What if you put together too great solutions to make one before the other two had been launched?
Ok we already knows that Microsoft loves to do things almost like that, without any offense, I like Microsoft, but they get this Yahoo Alpha a new search engine from Yahoo that try to understand exactly what any of us is searching and put that on screen in a new fashion way, and this Google the number ONE search engine in the world, don't need to mention that I like Google too =D, put Live Search in the middle and generate this BING, the new Microsoft search engine.
First of everything the project codename was "Kumo" and BING is now the official name, they planned to release it tomorrow (june 3rd, 2009), but the beta is up and running so go on and test it.

All the features that they present are not there yet, see a preview bellow to understand, but it's working and what gives me creeps is that it REALLY WORKS GREAT, at least until now rs =D.
Another remarkable thing is that BING returns are a lot like Google ones, not only the links but the look too (XEROX MACHINE ¬¬)...



Oh now I want to see WHO is gonna win this fight, because the thing is getting really hot my friends, and there are no second places or they exists but the world don't see them.
Oh I was almost forgetting to tell you that BING already has win an acronym: But It's Not Google, great uh! rsrsrsrs.

Remember folks "Google it but try to Bing it too".....
Cheers...

Browser Novo.....

Foi lançado mais um browser para a guerra da web, nosso amado Google (mesmo apoiando firefox) teve seus motivos e resolveu lançar o Chrome, e esse que vos fala está utilizando este novo browser para postar. Parece uma junção de várias funcionalidades interessantes dos outros navegadores e mais um montão de coisas novas e sim funciona bem pra caramba e até que é bem leve.

Do ponto de vista do usuário ainda não é possível afirmar se o browser sobe até as estrelas ou afunda no oceano, no entanto acredito que possívelmente será uma opção bem utilizada.

Para os programadores fica uma discussão muito forte sobre o V8, o engine para javascript do Google que opera dentro do Chrome, será que ele vai atrapalhar nossas vidas na hora de criar aplicações webs provocando mais um if(navegadorX) código tal; ou será uma ferramenta a mais que em certo ponto pode apenas ser mais uma ou ajudar em algum sentido?

O V8 é a engine Javascript open source do Google, ele foi escrito em C++ e implementa ECMAScript, o legal é que ele pode rodar dentro de outras aplicações C++ por ser standalone =D
