Its good to see that the Pragmatic Bookshelf is continuing with beta books for their future releases. The next two releases are Pragmatic Ajax and Enterprise Integration with Ruby, both of which sound very cool. I’m hoping the efforts to get information published quicker, in smaller chunks, and incrementally will continue and spread […]
Gilad Bracha has a very interesting post about plans to add some support to the JVM for dynamically typed languages in the form of a invokedynamic byte code. He also talks about how similiar the JVM and .NET JVM are, and the misnomer that is the “CLR”. Its good to see someone at […]
Just spent five minutes writing code to iterate over a string and break out its lines nicely. After a couple googles to check an API method, I see that BreakIterator has already done it for me in the java.text package. The moral of the store is to always google on the JDK before […]
Well, our presentation at NFJS Chicago went off well. The crowd was pretty big, we filled the largest room at the Sheraton so it must have been around 70 people. We covered DWR, Jim covered Echo2, then I did a quick Ruby on Rails demo. We had some good questions but not […]

I’ll be heading to Chicago in less then seven hours with Jim for No Fluff. I wish now that I had bit the bullet and gotten an iPass when I read about the increase for manual payment of tolls. (aside: the iPass url is one of the ugliest I’ve seen in awhile.) […]
The Ajax presentation Jim and I are presenting is online. Its come quite a ways from the original one we gave to MadJUG, and is still a work in progress.
The examples are here, and the slides are in S5 (ie xhtml & css) format here. I still need to get a link to […]
Kathy has had a great run of posts on building passion, marketing through teaching, and inspiring passion. Her latest entry talks about how teaching is the number one way to create passionate users (and by extension, profit):
…people who want to learn more are more likely to want more of your tools, services, community, and […]
Many of the modern automated IDEs insert boilerplate comments into your code as your create new classes, methods, code blocks, etc. They contain something like the following:
