Strands, students, and haXe: Taking Web development to the next level
As you might remember, Strands has organized the Strands Summer 2008 haXe Project (also see the announcement post), an opportunity for students to receive funding for open source development focused on the web based programming language “haXe“. Today, the Strands Summer 2008 haXe Project has officially come to a close
Miguel Serrano Milano stepped up and became our first student project developer. The main contribution for his project has been the development of a CLI .NET target for haXe. Yes, that means that haXe can now target .NET platforms. While the project is still missing some language features, and is in need of some optimization, Franco and I commend Miguel for his hard work and efforts towards implementing the base functionality. Miguel has provided an overview of his work as a tutorial over at the haXe wiki. Check it out if you’re interested in how haXe works to target other languages such as PHP, Actionscript, or CLI bytecode.
P.S. Danny Wilson (the other student participant) dropped out early because of a hectic summer work schedule, we still wish him the best of luck!
