Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT pronunciation
|
We need an advertising budget <g>.
Of course, "sweet" could be misinterpreted as "suite"... but "S-W-T" is
pretty unique...
But as Steve says, folks can pronounce it whichever way they like the
sound of best. :)

Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT pronunciation
Title - Who's on Sweet.
Scene:
A software development shop office with the usual fare of computers,
monitors, half read journals, assorted books, empty pizza boxes and half
filled mugs of stale cold coffee.
Characters:
Joe and Moe, the usual over worked, underpaid and kind of weird literal
computer geeks.
--
Joe - "Hey Moe, I am building this sweet prototype for an application."
Moe - "Really!? What is it? Did you get the new project they have been
talking about?"
Joe - "No, it is the one we have to get done by next week."
Moe - "How can you call that sweet? It is just a simple SWT prototype."
Joe - "That's what I said... it is a sweet prototype"
(you get the idea)....

Call it anything you want. Carolyn says "es double-yew tee" but who says
she's right.

In Germany they pronunce it "es ve te" and in France "es double-v
te"... and that's the whole point.
I don't think SWT is a "cool" name for a Java toolkit. "Java",
"Spring", "Eclipse", "Swing", "Ruby" look definitely better than "AWT"
or "SWT", and that serves adoption as well.
I thought "SWT" would/could at least be officialy pronunced in a more
trendy way ("Sweet" or something else).
Cheers,
-Christopher
