……

I have to admit that there has never been a shortage of smart people in this world - Tang Huan's bright arrangement at this year's Zheru Spring Developer Conference was analyzed by those who have a heart.

If copper interconnection is a "rich club" – only a company with considerable strength can afford it, then WiFi is a "rich club" – and the vast majority of computer practitioners can participate if they want to.

This is the phenomenon of all kinds of "circles" in the IT field - what NC Alliance, Java Alliance, whether it is to grab hot spots, or to fight for quantity, Tang IT can change its way to suppress its limelight.

As soon as WiFi came along, it was foreseeable that it would bring a wide range of business opportunities – for example, Bluetooth would become standard in laptops and form a new selling point, and this is just the most obvious example.

In short, the content of Tang's IT ecosystem continues to enrich and the value continues to increase, so that those who wander outside the circle dare not stand in line with a simple and down-to-earth attitude.

When Tang Huan introduced the theme of WiFi at the Zheru Spring Developer Conference, the stage was deliberately arranged to look like "there is no cable".

Tang Huan glanced at the battery prompt on the laptop and quipped: "In order to show the effect, the staff didn't even give me a power cord, shouldn't I be afraid that I will be long-winded." ”

Speaking of which, Mr. The Richest Man shrugged his shoulders, "Well, I won't talk about it for an hour." ”

When the laughter in the audience stopped, Tang Huan waved his hand, "In a sense, WiFi is to wireless LAN what the World Wide Web is to the Internet - you can also see that in today's Internet era, this laptop can keep the network online without any cables." I was even able to hold it and walk to the bottom of the stage, sit in the middle of everyone, and still keep the data communication in order to complete the presentation of this topic. ”

It's no wonder that Mr. The richest man praised WiFi, specifically referring to Hi-Fi, the form of hi-fi, and gave the name.

You must know that WiFi is the first commercial standard for wireless LAN, and with the influence of Down's IT ecosystem, it will inevitably conquer the city and sit on the throne of industry standards. The IEEE general standard for wireless LANs, IEEE_802.11, is still being discussed.

Looking at this backward posture, it is estimated that it will be like other common standards before, and the International Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering will have to pinch its nose and adopt WiFi, which has become a reality on a large scale.

First-class enterprises do standards, second-rate enterprises do brands, third-rate enterprises make products - nothing more!

Tang Huan raised his mobile phone and shook it, "Some people may have questions, what is the difference between Bluetooth and WiFi used by mobile phones and laptops to synchronize communication book data?" ”

Putting down the mobile phone, Tang Huan explained leisurely: "It is true that Bluetooth and WiFi are both data communication implementations under the wireless LAN, and both use radio waves in the ISM frequency band, but at this stage, the purpose of Bluetooth is mainly to provide a set of point-to-point wireless interconnection solutions between different devices, and the communication distance does not exceed 10 meters; After ignoring the differences in transmission methods, the performance of WiFi at the use level is almost no different from the well-known Ethernet. ”

Tang Huan said as he picked up a Fang Yuan handheld computer with tepid sales in the market, "I want to use this pocket device to access the Internet, I can't drag a network cable and walk around, right?" And with WiFi, handheld computers, laptops, desktop computers, ...... And so on, when playing the role of network terminal, the status is equal. ”

At this time, a note came from the audience.

"Someone askedβ€”will NC be treated equally in the face of WiFi?" Tang Huan glanced at it and smiled playfully, "Actually, it's all up to the NC manufacturers themselves. As I said, our industry atmosphere is free~. If the NC manufacturer feels that it is necessary, they will use this technology. ”

Turning over this topic, Tang Huan turned on the picture on his laptop, projected it onto the big screen, and introduced: "This is the scene of our test at Starbucks, California high-speed rail and other places - do you think that WiFi will make our lives more interesting?" ”

……

The pictures shown by Tang IT are really sensational. So much so that when CNN was tracking the report, the host began to imagine that if a place like California high-speed rail could access the Internet, the convenience of travel would be unimaginable.

The industry expert who served as the guest said: "1990 is known as the first year of the World Wide Web - I think this year can be called the first year of WiFi. ”

……

After Tang Huan completed his tasks at the Zheru Spring Developer Conference, he also participated in some activities that other people were responsible for. For example, Anders Hellsberg is leading the topic of C#, a new Internet programming language.

At this stage, the posture of Java and C# in the arena is becoming more and more obvious.

Java relies on virtual machines implemented on a variety of different platforms to interpret the bytecode that executes Java programs to support the cross-platform nature of "write once, run anywhere".

C# is more or less the same in terms of cross-platform support, but its "cross-platform" compared to Java, as critics have analyzed, has "shrunk" because of its preference for the Down's IT ecosystem.

On this point, Zheru Software does not argue, but emphasizes that the significance of C# is to become a model of a new generation of programming languages that has been integrated so far, and the "cross-platform" feature is mainly embodied in its function library and runtimeβ€”β€”. .NET.

In other words, . Which platforms are supported by .NET, and where C# programs can run.

In fact, the pursuit of programming language development tools is not limited to the "cross-platform" that Java has been talking about all day long, but also the broader "openness" - as long as the programming language meets the . .NET specification, then it can be in the . .NET environment, enjoy the "cross-platform" that originally belonged to C#. .NET features.

In this way, all programmers can use the programming language they are most accustomed to to and write the most fashionable Internet programs in the .NET environment.

It's clear that C# and .NET are more ambitious than Java.

At this year's Zheru Developer Conference, Zheru Software has asked C++ and Pascal, like C#, to support . .NET specification.

Anders Helesberg confided that Microsoft is very interested in making its best programming language, BASIC, also support it. .NET specification.

Relationships in IT circles are so complex – they are all about deals.

……

When the Zheru Spring Developer Conference came to a successful conclusion, the outside world found that NC, Java, and browsers, which were at the forefront, were all hit head-on without exception.

The richest man's non-stop departure to Asia is interpreted as coordinating the global supply chain of PCs and laying a solid foundation for the next price war.

Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and Sun Microsystems President and CEO Scott McRiney were probably frightened and set off for Asia. Visit your own partners.

Invisibly, the battlefield is expanding!

The following is the anti-D part.,Update it tomorrow.,Just ignore it.。

……

In contrast to AOL's "hard" model, which keeps users in circles, Yahoo represents a "soft" path to provide navigation capabilities for the portal because the Internet resources have begun to explode so much that users are at a loss for what to do.

Yahoo's main job is to set up servers, maintain its own "website database", and provide an attractive navigation page that takes up the entry point to the Internet with countless websites, without having to rent lines and control users to its own website.

To put it more lofty, or even politically ~ more correct, Yahoo represents freedom~ freedom and openness, and truly explains the spiritual essence of the Internet.

Of course, this does not mean that AOL is on the wrong path, Yahoo is on the right path - the different stages of the development of the Internet have contributed to different road trade-offs and operational characteristics, and if you do it rigidly, it can only be a dead end.

Moreover, AOL still represents the mainstream at this stage - Yahoo must have its place in the front row of the website navigation directory.

Under Tang Huan's guidance, AOL has embraced the World Wide Web many times faster than its competitors in online services, and it can be said that its path has always been "right".

But it is impossible to make AOL one step more "correct" and switch to the model of a portal. Not to mention that the portal model has just emerged, it is impossible to part with AOL's existing content resources alone. The online service model has been "correct" into its genes, and it can only fine-tune its own direction with the development of the Internet.

In this case, the value of the incomparably new Yahoo to Mr. the richest man is reflected - it can not only meet the layout of not putting eggs in one basket, but also greatly reduce the cost of mastering the portal model.

As for the value of David Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan, the two graduate students, they are similar to James Cameron, who is dedicated to filming "Titanic", and the persistence in his bones is not easy to find.

You must know that with the strength of only two people, it is a manual work to organize the information of thousands of websites into an indexing service, but it is definitely not possible without enthusiasm.

Tang Huan casually opened the Yahoo page on his computer, and couldn't help but smile secretly - the server in David Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan's apartment was probably so overwhelmed that it was about to strike.

Meng Jing, the little cousin who was sorting out the information on the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes after seeing Tang Huan's scheming and complacent expression, "Brother, you have preemptively registered so many .com domain names, aren't you afraid that others will say that you will bully the small?" ”

"Silly girl, with these domain names, we can virtually try not to miss any fish in the layout." Tang Huan laughed, "When someone comes to inquire about the transfer of the domain name, it is equivalent to an event trigger on the program, and I don't know how much effort is saved." ”

Meng Jing nodded suddenly, "Then you have chanted Yahoo's name several times, are you planning to catch this fish that slipped through the net?" ”

"Yahoo isn't a fish that slipped through the net, it's a fish in my pool." Tang Huan playfully replied: "By the way, Yahoo has almost more than 1 million hits, and it is estimated that David Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan, two poor graduate students, should also have an idea of the commercial value of the work they are interested in. After this busy time, arrange for everyone to come to a meeting. ”

"Got it." Meng Jing agreed, and then handed over a document, "This year's COMDEX Las Vegas Fall Show is really a rare competition, not to mention the addition of Sony's Playstation in the field of home TV game consoles, just a browser software of Zheru Software Company, Polestar-Polaris, has a new competitor." ”

Tang Huan looked at the document and said calmly: "This Netscape-Netscape I know, Jim Clark, who ran away from Silicon Valley Graphics, invested $4 million to establish a small start-up company-Browser Market, there are not many of them, not a lot of it. ”

"You've repeatedly stressed to us that the competition on the Internet platform is free of charge." Meng Jing reminded: "Compared to Polestar, which is temporarily free in the name of promotion as a commercial software, Netscape Navigator is now Netscape_Navigator as soon as the official version of 1.0 is launched, it does not hesitate to position itself as a shareware, which is really free, which is menacing and incomparable to other competitors." ”

"Polestar is technologically ahead and has a first-mover advantage in market share, so it's not afraid of Netscape_Navigator disruptions." Tang Huan waved his hand relaxedly, "Netscape_Navigator want to grab market share by relying on clean and free means, then I can also spend money to buy others to use Polestar through multiple software product package promotions and secret subsidies." ”

Meng Jingwan said: "Brother, you have to pay attention, although Zheru Software has been spun off and has reached an anti-monopoly settlement with the Federal Ministry of Justice, there are still people staring at it - it is too domineering and easy to fall into the handle." ”
