As in the old Be, Inc. days, Dev's Corner aims to be a place to gather coding articles, where everyone interested can gain, by reading them, coding experience and expertise.
The first article is signed by Alan Westbrook, yT's CTO, and relates to Zeta's Locale Kit, so head over and enjoy the reading.
The Matrix has The Oracle... we have The Clan!

The aim of BeClan is to form a clan indeed, a central website where developers can consult experienced BeOS developers, find people to help them with artwork or beta testing, and where there is an extensive collection of documentation, answers and freely available code snippets.
Especially since the concept is brand new, there is still a lot of work to be done. There is a great need for entirely different skills. You could think of web developers, documentation writers, contributors of code snippets, designers... the whole lot. Interested? Join the mailing list or at least pay a visit to the BeClan website!

Stick a finger up your... ear

Finger Whisper converts sound waves into vibrations that are being transmitted through your hand bones into your ear. As bones transmit sound vibrations better than air, the quality is even expected to be better than with cell phones used these days.
BeOS MaX Edition v2.1 upgrade

The updates come as SoftwareValet packages and amount to 82 MB for the MaX edition (download) and 7 MB for MiniMaX (download).
NOTE: The posting of this article, along with updating it with a message that BeOS PE MaX is legal, has led to an entire thread of posts. My personal opinion is that MaX can well be considered legal. However, it seems like the opinions are quite divided over that. All in all, I think choulth put it nicely: "Most of us gave a shiatsu if it is illegal or not - we downloaded it because it was the easiest way to get an updated BeOS."

Zeta RC1 Patch 1

When the Zeta RC1 master was brought in for duplication, yellowTAB knew that there were some flaws in it. Because it would still be some time before RC1 was actually going to hit the customer's doormat because the CDs were still to be pressed and shipped out, they spent the time well in order to create Patch 1. IsComputerOn has had a sneak preview. Care to read more? (or read it in French or Japanese...)
NOTE: Eugenia of OSNews has the world premiere (read it here). I feel that both Eugenia and I shed some light on different aspects and that both are definitely worth a read.
