Blogging

You know how nowadays everyone loves to tweet at conferences or presentations in middle of the talk? Sometimes you as a presenter might want to return the favor and tweet something in response. If you know upfront that what you are going to present will provoke a response from audience, you can now actually put the tweets in your presenter notes and have Keynote or PowerPoint to tweet on the...

I know what you are thinking...consulting has always been a service. But the Cloud is making it evolve. Cloud Computing has been one of my favourite topics in the last couple of years. Coming from a sysadmin background I am frequently in awe of how easy it is nowadays to conjure up vast amounts of computing and storage resources out of thin air. Of course I know that its not "out of...

GUI

When programming in Java, everywhere I go I stumble over "dead" technology. That's a mess, since that technology was really great and still would be very useful. But some day, "someone" just declared it's death. But why?

Business

Do a "requirements document" and "design document" use an outdated format? Is one monolithic document the right way to handle that information? Are there better ways to handle that information? Consider this idea: Keep requirements/design info in a tree structure. Support viewing the whole tree to a specific depth so that people can ignore undesired detail. Allow...

How often have I read about cool new technologies where, after all, the programmer can now 'fully concentrate on the business logic'. This meanwhile happens since at least 20 years so I wonder why still anybody does something else than concentrating on the 'business logic'? One reason might be that it always has been a lie. Using any web framework still ends with tracking and analyzing HTTP...

I can't comment on the Oracle-Sun acquisition but I'd like to direct your attention to the first-page ad in todays Wall Street Journal. I don't think anyone should be doubting Oracles commitment. Personally, I'm looking forward to what's to come. Cheers, -- Terrence Reminder: If you haven't done so yet, please update your blog reader to my new blog URL

Maybe Google Chrome OS will finally be the successful reincarnation of JavaOS? The similarities are just too obvious.

Nearly every work related thought I have now ends with, “but this could change because of the Oracle thing.” The subject of this blog is one of them. While riding the ICE train to Mainz after speaking at JUG Köln, I was catching up on email and came across a (likely now irrelevant) org chart for some group other than my own. I noticed a box filled with the names of individual...

So, the big news today is that Oracle is buying Sun. This is definitely the biggest thing to happen to Java since it's original release (not to mention the rest of Sun's portfolio). Overall, I believe Java is in pretty good hands. Oracle has bet their entire non-database business on Java. It's their lingua franca, the basis of the Oracle Fusion Middleware stack, which includes the entire BEA portfolio (WebLogic, Tuxedo, JRockit, etc.), JDeveloper, Coherence, and tons of other development and server products. More importantly, Fusion Middleware is the technical foundation of Oracle's next-generation Fusion product line, which includes their original business applications, plus PeopleSoft, Siebel, and JD Edwards applications.

I was looking for some new Java tech books and my favorite site Bookpool.com. I did some quick Googling for it and found this post. I guess I will have to go with Amazon or one of the other online bookstores. Anyone have a good site for good Java tech books?

Once again the FUD around Solaris and OpenSolaris fate started to spread after Dana Blankenhorn miss understood the licensing terms and used a eye catching and visitor increasing title, Oracle taking back OpenSolaris, for his blog entry. Well, from this article we can get that even the veteran writers can get things wrong and spread incorrect news :-)

My mailbox aggregates several Java User Groups and other specialized sources of information about the Java universe, with special guests like CEJUG and the Java EE community. Many of these Java sources are used by consultant companies to hire smart people, and since last year I am reading a desperate growing interest about skilled Java developers. More: few days ago I was having a coffee with...
