Cappuccino

A cappuccino /ˌkæpʉˈtʃiːnoʊ/ (/ˌkæpᵿˈtʃiːnoʊ/; Italian pronunciation: [kapputˈtʃiːno]) is an Italian coffee drink that is traditionally prepared with espresso, hot milk and steamed milk foam.

Cream may be used instead of milk and is often topped with cinnamon. It is typically smaller in volume than a caffè latte, with a thicker layer of micro foam.

The name comes from the Capuchin friars, referring to the colour of their habits, and in this context referring to the colour of the beverage when milk is added in small portion to dark, brewed coffee (today mostly espresso). The physical appearance of a modern cappuccino with espresso créma and steamed milk is a result of a long evolution of the drink.

The Viennese bestowed the name "Kapuziner" possibly in the 18th century on a version that included whipped cream and spices of unknown origin. The Italian cappuccino was unknown until the 1930s, and seems to be born out of Viennese-style cafés in Trieste and other cities in the former Austria in the first decades of the 20th Century.

Cappuccino (application development framework)

Cappuccino is an open source application development framework for developing web applications that look and feel like desktop applications on Mac OS X. Cappuccino was developed by University of Southern California graduates Francisco Tolmasky, Tom Robinson and Ross Boucher, who are also the founders of 280 North, Inc. It is primarily targeted towards web applications developers.

Cappuccino consists of two distinct components: a programming language called Objective-J and an object-oriented library which is the Objective-J port of several of the Cocoa frameworks, namely Foundation Kit, Application Kit, CoreGraphics, and CoreAnimation.

Objective-J

Objective-J adds traditional inheritance and Smalltalk/Objective-C message calls to JavaScript. Objective-J compiles to, and is a strict superset of, JavaScript. This means that all valid JavaScript code is also valid Objective-J code (this is the same relationship that Objective-C has to the C language). Objective-J and JavaScript may be freely mixed within the same source file (suffixed with ".j" file extension) and many framework classes are "toll-free-bridged" to their JavaScript counterparts. For example, CPArray (equivalent to Cocoa's NSArray) and native JavaScript arrays are bridged and may be used interchangeably.
