Comment Re:distributing the private API key (Score 1) 262

Or not including the key in the source code at all. I have written a Dropbox client and Dropbox also uses OAuth for authentication, and I didn't include the key in the source code. And now when someone wants to compile my application, they have to get a new key from Dropbox. Only the binaries I distribute include the key Dropbox gave me.

Comment UI / Logic Separation (Score 1) 440

The next big thing might be the separation of UI and core program logic. An example of this is what Nokia's Qt is heading towards: QML for UI (which is similar to or might even be a subset to Javascript, I am not sure) and Qt for the program logic and actual implementation of functionality. This is a powerful approach and it has many advantages that I think most Slashdot reader know. This might a new (optional) strategy for Microsoft applications, HTML5/Javascript for the UI and .NET for the implementation. Disclaimer: I am an expert in neither Qt/QML nor HTML5/Javascript/.NET and what I am saying is just a thought, and I haven't heard about Microsoft (or anyone else for that matter) saying that this is what they are aiming at. I just wanted to share a thought.
