Although Netscape has only been officially established for more than a year, it is full of limelight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

One of the main reasons is that the team of programmers led by Mark Anderson and run out of the National Supercomputer Application Center in the United States has experience, technology, and hard work in the development of browsers, which has made Netscape's flagship product, Netscape_Navigator, the only browser in the industry that has the potential to compete with Polestar, a software company.

As the so-called art industry has a specialty, Netscape is a small fresh meat, so that IBM, HP and other old companies have to sigh to themselves.

As the browser's capabilities continue to grow, so does its image as a platform comparable to an operating system.

So in this IT era where the Internet has become the main theme, Netscape is like those before such as Lotus Software Company, which seized the spreadsheet software boom, etc., naturally and inevitably rose rapidly.

As far as the various links of the entire ecological chain are concerned:

Backend – databases such as EBase, DB2, Oracle, Sybase, responsible for effectively managing and securely storing data;

Foreground – browsers such as Polestar and Netscape_Navigator are responsible for bringing data to life to the user;

The middle layer of the two, such as Zerone_Internet_Services and Netscape_Navigator web servers, is responsible for processing data according to business needs;

The specific tools used for front-end and middle-level processing involve scripting languages such as PascalScript, and even high-level programming languages such as C, C++, Pascal, and the latest Java.

If you take NC into account, then its location, like the personal computer, is responsible for providing the front-end hardware platform that runs the browser; As for the back-end hardware platform, it is the server of Fangyuan, IBM, DEC, HP, Sun Microsystems and other companies.

According to this Internet ecological map, it is not difficult to find that the powerful Zheru software company has a full set of solutions; In contrast, Netscape, Oracle, Solar Microsystems, and others are just princes on one side - and now they are united because of the need to survive.

It is necessary to point out that Microsoft's value on the Internet ecological map is not indispensable at present, and it even has no place to stand at all.

I have to say, the time is also, the luck is also!

Xiaoxian Meat Netscape occupies an important position by such a coincidence, so that it can complement each other's advantages and discuss the alliance with the "big brothers" such as Oracle and Sun Microsystems on an equal footing.

Although everyone has a broad consensus on group heating, when it comes to how to cooperate, it is not so good to decide because of their respective interests.

In the midst of the verbal bargaining, there is a new consensus - now is the era of eyeballs, and everyone must make a big noise in order to attract more collaborators to join.

How to make a big noise?

Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and Netscape CEO Jim Barksdale thought of stealing the limelight at the upcoming Philosopher Spring Developers Conference — a prime example of Silicon Valley's current entertainment tendency, exemplified by the executive scolding between two highly competitive companies.

Scott McRiney, CEO of Sun Microsystems, was noncommittal about the idea of the disgusting spring developer conference, and when asked, he was optimistic at best.

Although Gainsolar Microsystems Co., Ltd. has competition with Fangyuan and Zheru Software in many product fields, it has not yet reached the point of bad relations, and the personal relationship between them is also good.

In Scott McRiney's view, Larry Ellison and Jim Barksdale can't really make the Zheru Spring Developer Conference cold, after all, they have the most advanced key technology in the industry, and engineers will only flock to it.

Of course, as long as they can steal a small percentage of the crowd at the Dzheru Spring Dev Conference, Larry Ellison and Jim Bucksdale's plan will be there - there is already a basis for hype anyway, and how to brag about it in the end depends on the thickness of the skin.

After getting the latest registration summary, Larry Ellison said proudly on the conference call: "It seems that the appeal of the Zheru Spring Developer Conference is also limited, and just a few small favors will hook people up." ”

Jim Bucksdale gloated, "I wonder if Zheru and Fang Yuan will follow suit and set up some measures to increase their attractiveness and popularity after they notice it." ”

At this time, Bill Joy, chief scientist of Sun Microsystems, who was about to talk about Java technology and Oracle database, Netscape_Navigator browser interface specifications, suddenly laughed, "Everyone, I just received an email in my mailbox. It seems like I should go for the free luxury hotel service. ”

"Can you forward me a copy of that email?" Jim Bucksdale, who had a faint feeling bad, hurriedly pleaded.

"Absolutely." Bill Joy replied cheerfully, "It's just a formatted official email, and it's probably gone viral." ”

When Jim Barksdale opened the forwarded email, he saw that it was written in the fixed format of official documents: All subscribers of the Zerone_Developer_Network-Zheru Developer Network, that is, ZDN, can enjoy rewards such as free round-trip air tickets and free luxury hotel rooms during this year's Zheru Spring Developer Conference.

In the uninspired writing, a domineering face came to the face.

Jim Barksdale gasped and muttered, "That's a lot of money -- there are thousands of people attending the Zheru Spring Developer Conference." If you follow this method of hospitality, how much money will you have to throw into it? ”

Larry Ellison, who had also read the email, snorted coldly and was silent.

……

The email went viral, alarming the media that focused on Silicon Valley gossip. It quickly sprang into action and launched an investigation in an attempt to unearth the contents of the material.

When asked about this question, the spokesperson of the Zheru Spring Developer Conference replied lightly: "This is a decision made by the boss, there is no reason, he just said that he is happy today." ”

Hearing this answer, the reporter was stunned - you are a professional spokesman, how can you be so lazy in your old profession? Find an excuse that you can't be casual anymore to deal with it, and let the boss carry the mine. By the way, do you know that you do this?

"That's exactly what Don said!" The spokesman shrugged his shoulders, and after adding a sentence, he gestured, "Next ......"

At this time, the reporters finally woke up, isn't this the gossip news they were looking for - Oracle, Netscape and other companies pulled people over there, disgusted with the Zheru Spring Developer Conference, and the richest man simply slapped his hand and directly put on a treat here.

As a result, the media rushed to report on new tricks in the fierce competition in Silicon Valley.

Larry Ellison dismissed it: "It's better than never, if it's late — the cheapest version of ZDN costs more than $1,000 a year, which is too dark." ”

The spokesperson of the Zheru Spring Developer Conference responded: "Users who have subscribed to ZDN know that in addition to the latest industry authoritative technology, ZDN also has genuine licensed software products presented by Zheru, such as the operating system StudiOS, etc., which have been praised by everyone for their value for money. ”

"Mr. Ellison, you haven't renewed your ZDN in a while. Excuse me, are you not satisfied with our content service, or are you not satisfied with the home delivery service? We can make an exception and give you the treatment of a subscriber during the Zheru Spring Developer Conference to re-experience the warm atmosphere of the Zheru technical community. ”

Larry Ellison blushed and yelled, "To hell with me, I won't be fooled again—and I advise other friends not to be gullible and gullible!" ”

……

In the midst of such a fierce verbal confrontation, the time for the Zheru Spring Developer Conference and the NC Netscape Java "Alliance" Conference has arrived at the same time.

Some outsiders still don't understand, isn't the two sides just holding a technical seminar, how big is it, as for the point of fighting in the ring?

The proof is that not only did they open on the same day, but they were also a few minutes away from each other, even the venues were a few minutes away – and that's not even a ring!

The reporters had been waiting for their eyes to glow green, and when the time came, they immediately split into two groups and rushed to their respective doors to count the heads, and what they wanted was this intuitive comparison of data.

Zheru's side: Those who are interested in today's technical topics, please come to the conference hall - a major event in the business world; Accompanying the wife and children, or those who are not interested in today's technical theme, the bus is on the clear - comfortable sightseeing.

Oracle's side: The courtyard is cold, there are three or two kittens, carefully identify them, or the staff who have taken off their uniforms.

……

In the speech session of the Zheru Spring Developer Conference, Tang Huan talked eloquently: "Attentive friends will find that the time of this year's conference is slightly delayed compared with previous sessions. ”

"In this regard, some public opinion interprets it as saying that this is to avoid something."

"I would like to say that after more than 10 years of testing, the Zheru Developer Conference has long been recognized as the industry's most authoritative and popular technical exchange event."

"We welcome challenges, but we are also fearless of challenges - the collision of wisdom can stimulate the spark of progress; But we are deeply disgusted by ill-intentioned opportunism. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan raised his hand, waved it in the air, and said slowly: "If_you 're_going_to_piss_in_theswimming_pool, don't_do_it_from_the_diving_board - if you want to urinate in the pool, then please don't do it on the diving board." ”

Everyone in the audience originally thought that Tang IT's next sentence would be a stormy reprimand, but they didn't expect it to be an ingenious metaphor for scolding people without spitting out dirty words.

Immediately, the hall erupted in knowing laughter, accompanied by whistles one after another.

While clutching their stomachs in pain, many reporters did not forget to think that they must find a way to get the audio-visual materials of the opening ceremony -- when the richest man said this analogy, his tone and demeanor were really intriguing.

……

After everyone stopped laughing and the conference hall was quiet, Tang Huan calmly continued: "The reason why the holding time of this year's Zheru Spring Developer Conference has been slightly delayed is because in the context of this era of information explosion, we have too many exciting technical achievements that we want to share with you, so that we have to spend a little more time to sort out a clear navigation clue, so that everyone will not get lost in the sea of information, and at the same time, they can also harvest information that is very useful to themselves." ”

"The main content of this morning is that I will lead you to navigate, which is not only the general outline of this conference, but also reflects the current context of the technical field."

"On the whole, our theme will be divided into several directions according to hardware and software, facing applications such as office and entertainment, and the network is the thread that runs throughout."

"For example, after research, we are convinced that there will be no insurmountable difficulties in the microprocessors used in personal computers, which operate at a frequency of 3 GHz, along with the current model of computer development."

"Since there is still a lot of room for improvement in the CPU running frequency from more than 100MHz today to 3GHz in the future, it is clear that there is still a long way to go on the road of the PC, and there are more things to do, which is worth doing."

"Another example is the long-term focus on 3D applications in the field of video games, which can be said to have reached an important juncture."

"In terms of entertainment applications, you're going to see 3D graphics processors with higher data throughput, a new generation of true 64-bit home TV game consoles, video games that support cyber warfare, and DVDs with higher audiovisual quality."

"Then there's the World Wide Web, which we're officially launching with a tailor-made web development suite – Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, nicknamed The Three Musketeers – which is definitely the most powerful web development toolkit out there."

"We will even introduce a high-level programming language specifically designed to adapt to the distributed applications of the Internet - C#."

"Of course, in the next specific topics, I will try to find time to interact with you face-to-face."
