Handy 1 Alpha 1 and Migrating to GNOME
A few days ago we released the first alpha of Handy 1, known as Handy 0.80.0. It comes with tons of new features, such as: HdyWindow and its companion widgets, a free-form unified window that Alice presented in a blog post; HdyDeck, that you can picture as a swipeable and spatialization-aware stack; HdyViewSwitcherTitle, a simpler way to implement a view switcher in a titlebar; overhauled HdyActionRow and HdyExpanderRow; many smaller widget refinements; overhauled theming support, implemented with SASS and supporting dark variants and per-theme stylesheets; vastly improved Glade support; a cleaned up API, see the migration documentation.
Yorba Founder, Software Engineer Adam Dingle
For my studies I had to interview a professional of the profession of my choice. Having decided on a career as a software engineer (preferably FLOSS), I sent an email to Yorba asking for an interview, and quickly received a warm, positive reply from Adam Dingle, the founder of Yorba. About a week later, I emailed him questions about his experience, Yorba and what such a job entailed. I received the answers by email on Tuesday March 20, 2012.
