#Graphical User Interface (GUI) Design Software Market

[dhirajmarketresearch]

[ui-alcoholic]

One of the most defining 16bit computers was introduced in June 1985.

ATARI ST 520

DESIGN HISTORY & STRATEGY

The Atari ST series was born in a turbulent time: Atari had just been acquired by Jack Tramiel, founder of Commodore, after leaving that company. Tramiel pushed for a quick-to-market product to compete with the Apple Macintosh and Commodore Amiga.

Development time: Less than one year — an aggressive schedule for a 16-bit GUI-based machine.

Initial models: The Atari 520ST was the first to ship, showcased at CES in 1985.

Innovative design: All-in-one casing (mainboard + keyboard), like the Amiga 500, but with better modularity (external floppy drive, monitor, etc.).

Former C=64 developer Shiraz Shivji led the design team. He tells a story about the Atari ST/Commodore Amiga history (source) "It is very interesting that the Warner Atari difficulties were due to Tramiel’s Commodore. The Commodore 64 was much more successful (I would say wildly successful) compared to the Atari Computers such as the 800 and the 400. We were also taking away sales from the video games division, the Atari 2600. Jay Miner was at Atari in the old days and was involved in the design of their products. He left Atari to design the Amiga. Atari had funded some of this effort and had an option to buy the Amiga. When we took over Atari in July 1984, the first order of business was to decide what to do with this option. The problem was that the Amiga was not quite ready and would need a lot of money to acquire. We decided to pass on Amiga, but this put enormous pressure on our own development team. Commodore, on the other hand, did not have an internally developed 32-bit graphics-oriented machine and did not have the confidence to develop the machine internally. They ended up buying Amiga for between $25-$30 million and spent a further $20 million or so and yet came out with a product a little after Atari. The roles were reversed, the Atari ST has a Commodore pedigree, while the Amiga has an Atari pedigree!"

MIDI AND MUSIC PRODUCTION

The 520ST included built-in MIDI ports — a revolutionary move. At the time, most other computers needed expensive third-party MIDI interfaces.

Key Software:

Steinberg Cubase – became the industry standard for MIDI sequencing.

Notator – early version of what later evolved into Logic Pro.

Pro 24, Dr. T's, and Hollis Trackman – widely used for composing, sequencing, and syncing synthesizers.

Used by Artists:

Fatboy Slim composed with the ST well into the 2000s.

Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, The Chemical Brothers, and Underworld used it in studio setups.

Many studios kept an Atari ST just for MIDI due to its tight timing and reliability.

SOFTWARE ECOSYSTEM

TOS/GEM: A fast and responsive GUI OS that was very usable on 512KB of RAM.

Productivity apps:

Calamus DTP – high-quality desktop publishing

NeoDesk – an improved desktop GUI

GFA Basic – a powerful programming environment

Graphics tools:

Degas Elite, NeoChrome – pixel art, animation

Spectrum 512 – used clever tricks to display 512 colors

While the Amiga had better graphics and sound, many games were first developed for the ST, then ported to Amiga. Key games:

Dungeon Master – first-person RPG with real-time mechanics

Carrier Command, Starglider, Blood Money, Rick Dangerous

Flight simulators, strategy, and adventure games flourished

CULTURAL IMPACT

In Europe (especially the UK, Germany, France, and Hungary):

The ST became a cornerstone of bedroom coding, Demoscene, and music production.

Local software houses and users created a vibrant community around the machine.

The Atari ST was used in schools, small studios, and households well into the early '90s.

In education: The ST's affordability and easy-to-use software made it a favorite in European schools and computer labs.

DECLINE & LEGACY

By the early 1990s, the ST line was losing ground to IBM-compatible PCs and faster Amigas.

Later models like the STE, TT030, and Falcon 030 tried to revitalize the line, with limited success.

Atari shifted toward consoles (like the Jaguar) and left the computer market.

Long-term legacy:

The Atari ST's MIDI legacy lives on — it helped standardize digital music production workflows.

Many musicians and retrocomputing fans still collect and use STs today.

A vibrant retro software/demo scene remains active, especially in Europe.

How Is Antivirus on Linux Different from Windows? Here’s What You Should Know

If you’ve used Windows before, you probably remember the constant pop-ups, scans running in the background, and antivirus apps that seemed to eat half your computer’s memory just to sit there. On Linux? It’s… very different.

You might have even heard people say:

“Linux doesn’t need antivirus at all.”

Linux is more secure by design, so there is some truth to that, but it's not the complete picture. There is antivirus software for Linux, and it works slightly better than the version for Windows you're used to.

Here is a simple explanation of antivirus software for those who are confused with Linux or simply want to learn more about it:

1. Linux Has Fewer Viruses—But That’s Changing

Windows gets hit with more viruses, a lot more.

That’s because:

It has the biggest desktop market share

It's been around forever

It supports a ton of third-party software (and some not-so-great security practices)

Linux, on the other hand:

Uses strong permission models

Requires authentication (sudo) to install or change core system files

Doesn’t run unknown programs by default

Linux isn’t invisible to threats. There are more Linux-specific malware and attacks now than ever before, especially for servers, IoT devices, and even desktop users who get a little click-happy with download links.

2. Antivirus on Windows Runs All the Time—Linux Is Usually Manual:

If you install antivirus on Windows, it typically runs all the time. It’s watching your system in real time, scanning downloads, checking USB drives, and quietly using your CPU in the background.

Linux antivirus, like ClamAV, works differently. By default, it doesn’t scan in real time. You run it manually when you want to scan a file, folder, or device.

That may sound like a hassle, but it’s nice for performance. You get control over when your scans run and avoid the sluggishness that some Windows users know all too well.

3. Antivirus on Linux Is Often About Detecting Windows Threats

Here’s something funny: many Linux antivirus tools are used to find Windows virus & malware protection.

Why? Because lots of Linux systems act as servers or file-sharing hubs. You might not be vulnerable to a .exe virus, but if you unknowingly send it to a Windows user, that’s still a problem.

In that sense, Linux antivirus software is often about device protection others and keeping your system clean just in case.

4. Linux Security Is More About Prevention Than Cure

On Windows, antivirus feels like a daily battle. On Linux, it’s more about keeping the walls strong so nothing gets in to begin with.

Linux users are generally more involved in their system’s setup and maintenance, so they tend to:

Keep their system and software updated

Use firewalls like UFW

Avoid running random software from the internet

Limit root access

This proactive mindset is a huge reason why Linux systems are more secure out of the box.

5. GUI vs. Terminal: Different Expectations

On Windows, antivirus tools come with sleek interfaces, dashboards, graphs, and notifications.

On Linux, many antivirus tools are command-line based. That’s normal here.

Take ClamAV,it runs from the terminal. If you want a graphical version, you have to install something like ClamTk.

This difference isn’t because Linux is stuck in the past. It’s just that the Linux community tends to value lightweight, flexible tools over flashy interfaces.

6. Paid vs. Free: No “Freemium” Gimmicks

Most Linux antivirus software is either:

Free and open-source (like ClamAV)

Enterprise-focused but free for home use (like Sophos)

There’s no constant upsell or trial countdown. 

You won’t be nagged to upgrade to “premium protection.”

That’s a refreshing change from Windows antivirus tools that lure you in with a free version and then drown you in pop-ups asking for payment.

7. You Don’t Need Antivirus on Linux—But It Doesn’t Hurt

Most Linux desktop users can get by just fine without antivirus software. But that doesn’t mean it’s useless.

Having something like ClamTk on hand is great for scanning:

Files from a USB stick

Downloads from unknown sources

Email attachments

Documents before sharing them

It is comparable to holding an umbrella. You will appreciate its presence even though you don't always need it.

FAQs

Q1: Is there real-time antivirus protection for Linux like on Windows?

Yes, but it’s less common. Tools like Sophos or ESET for Linux offer real-time scanning. Most others, like ClamAV, are on-demand only.

Q2: Can Linux get viruses?

Yes, but not the same way Windows does. Most attacks target servers, misconfigured systems, or users who install untrusted software with root access.

Q3: Is ClamAV enough to protect my Linux system?

It’s a good tool for manual scans, especially if you exchange files with others. If you want constant protection, consider pairing it with good security habits or using a real-time tool.

Q4: Will Linux antivirus slow my system down?

Not usually. Most Linux AV tools are lightweight and don’t run unless you ask them to.

Q5: What about malware in email or browser downloads?

That’s where it helps to scan suspicious files. Use ClamTk to scan your Downloads folder or USB drives when in doubt.

Conclusion

The biggest difference between antivirus software on Linux and Windows comes down to philosophy.

Windows antivirus tools are reactive,they watch everything and try to clean up messes after they happen. Linux antivirus is more optional, more flexible, and usually used when needed, not 24/7.

That doesn’t mean Linux is perfectly safe,it just means the approach to staying secure is different.

If you're new to Linux and want peace of mind, start with something light like ClamTk. Keep your system updated. Use common sense when installing apps. And you’ll be just fine.

【step by step】Easyi3C Host I3C adapter (1)

Easyi3C is a leading supplier of embedded system tools that simplify the development and debugging of various communication protocols. The company offers a range of products designed to help engineers and developers use I3C/I2C , USB and MIPI, JEDEC, MCTP and other protocols more efficiently.

1. Basic Introduction

Easyi3C Host I3C adapter is a powerful and easy-to-use I3C and I2C host adapter produced by Easyi3C. It connects the computer to the downstream embedded system environment through the USB interface and adopts the advanced I3C and I2C protocol.

Based on the application programming interface (API) function and the Easyi3C Tower console graphical user interface (GUI) tool, combined with the Python development environment, the Easyi3C Host adapter greatly simplifies the development process of I3C/I2C chip testing and data transmission environment. It provides great convenience for AE engineers, FAE engineers, etc. to verify I3C/I2C chips. Simple verification can be done through the graphical console interface, which is easy to use and easy to learn. If you want to test more complex functions or perform automated testing, you can use the rich API functions provided by the manufacturer to quickly implement automated scripts in the Python development environment.

We know that I2C was invented by Philips Semiconductors in 1981, and its history is a bit old and mature. The I3C protocol I3C specification was originally released by in 2017. I3C is the abbreviation of improved internal integrated circuit, which is a 2-wire digital interface similar to I2C. It improves and optimizes the previously released I2C and SPI interfaces, solves the problem of slow I2C communication speed, and optimizes the shortcomings of SPI through four-wire connection. The I3C specification is managed by MIPI Alliance Inc. I3C also solves the problem of high power consumption of I2C. I3C becomes a low-power, low-cost and fast digital interface. It supports multi-point connection between host MCU and peripheral devices such as sensors and multi-master devices. Because the protocol is still very new, there are not many good tools on the market. The series of products launched by Easyi3C will fill this gap. The same interface supports I3C/I2C protocols at the same time, which is convenient for engineers to write automated scripts for chip protocol testing, shorten the product launch cycle, and help the company’s products win the competition.

Why Use a GUI Designer?

Ease of Use GUI Designers simplify the complex process of interface design, making it accessible to developers and non-developers alike.

Time Efficiency By eliminating the need for manual coding of interface layouts, GUI Designers drastically reduce development time.

Consistency in Design Tools often come with pre-built components and templates, ensuring a consistent look and feel across the application.

Real-Time Feedback Preview changes instantly as you make them, allowing for quick iteration and refinement.

Cross-Platform Compatibility Many GUI Designers support designing interfaces that work seamlessly on multiple platforms like Windows, macOS, Linux, or mobile devices.

Features of Modern GUI Designers

Drag-and-Drop Interface: Arrange UI components effortlessly without writing code.

Customizable Widgets: Adjust properties like size, color, font, and behavior to suit your needs.

Event Binding: Link UI elements to backend logic with ease.

Responsive Design Tools: Ensure your interface adapts to various screen sizes and resolutions.

Code Generation: Automatically generate code in your preferred programming language (e.g., Python, Java, C#).

Integration with Frameworks: Compatible with popular frameworks like Tkinter, PyQt, JavaFX, or WPF.

In the realm of modern software development, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) play a crucial role in enabling seamless communication between different software systems and applications. As the digital landscape evolves, the need for robust and reliable APIs becomes increasingly paramount. This article delves into the significance of API testing, highlighting its pivotal role in ensuring the functionality, reliability, and security of APIs.

Understanding API Testing

API testing involves testing the interfaces that allow interactions between various software systems. Unlike graphical user interface (GUI) testing, which focuses on the user interface aspects, API testing verifies the backend services and data exchange mechanisms. It ensures that APIs function as intended, delivering accurate outputs in response to inputs under various conditions.

Types of API Tests

There are several types of API tests that developers and QA engineers employ to validate different aspects of API functionality:

1. Functional Testing

Functional testing verifies whether the API meets the functional requirements specified in its design. It includes tests for endpoint behavior, data accuracy, request and response validation, and error handling.

2. Performance Testing

Performance testing assesses how well the API performs under various load conditions. It measures response times, throughput, and resource usage to ensure that the API can handle expected traffic volumes without degradation in performance.

3. Security Testing

Security testing identifies vulnerabilities within the API that could be exploited by malicious entities. It includes tests for authorization checks, authentication mechanisms, data encryption, and protection against common security threats such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).

Growth of E-Commerce Marketplaces: Five Trends to Take Into Account

Ready-made structures

What are these platforms about, and how might they support the launch of an online marketplace for a company?

To easily figure out what's what, just think of Lego. There are numerous details in it that you can put together to create a certain figure. Software for e-commerce marketplace development functions similarly. Using pre-made templates facilitates the creation of a multi-vendor solution. Nonetheless, the primary disadvantage of this methodology is its reliance on an external instrument. The marketplace's functionalities will be restricted by the software provider's technological capabilities.

The following are the greatest choices to think about if you're considering utilizing SaaS marketplace platforms to create ecommerce marketplace: 

Shopify

Shopify functions as a platform for building websites, allowing you to establish an online store using a graphical user interface (GUI). Coding knowledge is not needed if you plan to leave the shop theme alone or change non-basic settings.

Wix

The main feature of Wix is its user-friendly drag-and-drop website builder. The usability of Wix's e-commerce platform is comparable. It enables the quick launch of a simple selling platform in a few days and offers all the features required for novice merchants.

BigCommerce

This is yet another significant player in the online retail space. It offers cutting-edge features for the create marketplace websites. With its user-friendly design and abundance of functionality for even the pickiest clients, BigCommerce caters to both novice and seasoned retailers.

Adobe Commerce 

This is the previous version of the Magento platform, which is now Adobe's missing e-commerce component. The platform provides every feature required to run a complete multi-vendor software and is tailored for both B2B and B2C markets.

Buy now, pay later integration

Customers can defer payment for goods they receive right away with BNPL. Customers can purchase high-value and low-value goods by enrolling in long-term or short-term installment plans, respectively, as part of the BNPL functionality.

Delivery is important; speed is preferable to cost.

People must make judgments quickly and choose which services to use carefully because life moves quickly. Having a positive user experience is now important to a lot of clients. Consumers are prepared to spend more for faster delivery, greater service, and better items.

Customers want their orders for manufactured goods, furniture, cosmetics, garments, and other items to arrive in one to two days. Customers have even higher expectations when it comes to groceries, expecting their orders to be delivered in an hour or less.

Sum up

While a vast array of online retailers offer a vast selection of products to clients, selecting the right vendor can get quite confusing. Marketplaces for online shopping provide an answer to this issue by centralizing all vendors. They make it possible for customers to evaluate goods and pricing and select the retailer that best suits their requirements.

Marketplace development is expected to be quite popular in 2022, and e-commerce developers will be in great demand. However, recruiting might take months or even years, and locating actual specialists is a difficult task.

We at AHT Tech have a great deal of expertise in developing marketplaces for online and mobile platforms.

Why Mintcad Created Its Own 3D Printing Slicer?

3D printing has revolutionized the engineering industry as it reduces production time, increasing the opportunities for innovation. Your digitally created Computer Aided Designs turn into real, physical products with a 3D printer.  

But do you know how your CAD software communicates with a 3D printer or how the files stored locally are sent to your 3D printer? Machines understand only the machine language and hence you need some coded instructions commanding the 3D printer to print your 3D printable models. You need an intermediate communicating tool which is a slicing software. 

Slicing software gets the digital file from the CAD software and accordingly instructs the 3D printer on how to print the design to obtain the intended output. To better understand this, let’s picture you’re on a business trip to a foreign country but do not know their native language. This makes it difficult for you to communicate with the locals of that place and get your work done. So, you seek the help of a local person who understands both your language and the natively spoken one, thereby communicating your message to the people there and getting your work done. Slicing software is analogous to that intermediator who translates your message to the locals. 

Let’s look over how a 3D printing Slicer works and how it’s a crucial asset to a 3D printing platform or a 3D printable NFT marketplace.

What is a Slicing Software?

A slicing software is a crucial tool in the world of 3D printing. Technically speaking, the 3D printing slicer converts the STL file (Stereolithography or Standard Tessellation Language) into the G-code that commands the printer. It takes 3D printable models, formats like a .STL or .OBJ from a CAD software, and breaks it down into individual layers, much like slicing a loaf of bread.  

These layers are then translated into vector instructions for the 3D printer, guiding it on how to build the object layer by layer. The software determines factors such as layer thickness, print speed, and support structures, ensuring that the final printed object matches the digital design. In essence, a slicer serves as the bridge between the digital design and the physical creation, making 3D printing possible.  

There are many 3D printing slicing softwares available in the market including both free and paid versions. Cura, PrusaSlicer, Simplify3D and Slic3r are a few commonly used best 3D printer slicer softwares.  

Mintcad comes integrated with our own homemade 3D printing slicer that makes it easy for people to slice the NFTs and make them print ready. Our proprietary slicing software Jullienne is free to use and is compatible with all types of 3D printers available in the market.

Parts of a Slicer Software

The slicing software has two major front end and back-end components i.e., the GUI and the logical algorithmic component respectively. 

Front-End GUI

The Graphical User Interface component of the slicer is the one that helps the user to visualize the design and interact with the software. You can move, scale, rotate and change the settings for your 3D digital model. 

Here you can view the complex 3D models into their layers.

Back-End Logic

The back end of the slicer converts the digital file and automatically generates the geometric code or the G-code which gives the necessary instruction to execute the print option. 

Post the G-code generation, the slicing algorithm follows the geometric instructions and slices the 3D model into its 2D slices. 

How Does Our 3D Printer Slicer Software - Jullienne Work?

You must first purchase a print from the many 3D printable NFTs that are listed on Mintcad. Learn how to buy a single print.

Once your purchased print is loaded onto our slicer the model is sliced into G-code layers that can be viewed in different anatomical directions - the coronal, axial, and sagittal planes. 

Each slice is individually sent for the print operation.

Technically, the slicer converts the .STL file into a G-code that includes step by step instruction for the 3D printer on how to print. 

The 3D printing is done in layers where each layer sits on another supporting layer below. However, if there are any hanging layers you can add an external supporting layer using the graphical elements like skirt, brim and raft.

You can add a single outline known as skirt surrounding the object on the print bed without actually touching the object.    

A brim made of a few concentric layers gets attached to the edges of the 3D model and extend from the print bed. It keeps the print in place preventing warping while the printer works on the part. 

A 3D printing support raft is a bit wider than the first layer of the print and placed beneath the object to print. It functions as the base support of the print. 

All three graphical elements are easily detachable and hence the output print is an exact replica of the input file.

You can further set various print settings like the layer heights, infill percent, speed of printing, optimized print path, temperature of the extruder, filament diameter, nozzle diameter, print bed shape, etc.

Finally, you can connect it to your 3D printer and start printing.

Why Choose Mintcad’s Jullienne Slicer Software?

Mintcad is a holistic niche NFT marketplace where you can mint NFTs for your CAD files, sell your NFTs and also allow people to print it for a one-time fee. Printing an NFT or a digital 3D model requires connecting to a slicer software as an intermediary step.

The Resilience of the Watlow F4T

When it comes to temperature controllers, the Watlow F4T continues to be the industry standard that other controllers are measured by. That’s because the F4T simply does everything expected of a temperature controller at the highest quality level. As a result, and because it has such a long performance track record, the Watlow F4T has unintentionally turned into the benchmark that other controllers need to meet to be competitive. And given that that pool is very small given the rigorous standards Watlow demands from its products, most industrial managers just opt for the real thing when possible.

Not a New, Untested Market Entry

The Watlow F4T isn’t a runway model, by any means. At one point, it looked like a button gadget one would see dozens of in the background on an old Star Wars movie set. However, with a bit of a graphical user interface or GUI update, the F4T has been a reliable tool for years in industrial systems, and it continues to do so with flexibility and power.

Built to Perform from an Industry Perspective

The F4T runs with a proprietary software OS, INTUITION, which has been designed by Watlow to meet demanding expectations. That driving code allows the controller to produce its benefits while remaining incredibly resilient and flexible under different industry demands. The connections are also universally acceptable through a 4.3 inch touch-screen GUI, a 1/4 DIN control, a built-in data logging system, math and logic controllers, and all managed by an Ethernet connection when remote.

The span of control the F4T provides also makes it perfect for managing multiple systems at once, like a facility environment control system and lighting. HVAC, power, lighting and more can all be managed under one controller with up to 24 channels that can be independently monitored at the same time. 14 different alarms are possible simultaneously as well. The physical build of the F4T is robust and solid, as well as being easy to mount flush in a panel or as a standout unit. This controller doesn’t shy from harsh work environments; its tolerance range is as low as 0 and as hot as 122 degrees Fahrenheit.

The GUI touch-screen interface also makes the F4T easy to learn as well, avoiding the problematic high learning curve that comes with industrial code instructions from yesteryear. Simply program, execute and watch the F4T do its magic.

Lots of Independent Certification and Connectivity

Given the long-standing performance of the Watlow controller product, the F4T has garnered a host of industry testing certifications as well, including approved independent validations of quality from UL, CSA, FM, RoHS, and CE. And the controller’s design doesn’t stop there; it continues to expand use and access with a robust communication compatibility set as well, including connection capability with Std Bus, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, SCPI, and even USB 2. It’s an ideal set up, both for in-person connection management as well as remote control of systems.
