Software Props

'Software props' is a term I have coined for these little programs. The idea is to take a specific computer or console as seen in a science-fiction film and simulate the workings of that screen in a Flash program. Sorry but they are not games, although some do allow you to control them.

DBMS Musings: The problems with ACID, and how to fix them without going NoSQL

Our objective in this post is to explain why ACID is hard to scale. At the same time, we argue that NoSQL/NoACID is the lazy way around these difficulties---it would be better if the particular problems that make ACID hard to scale could be overcome. This is obviously a hard problem, but we have a few new ideas about where to begin.

Uncle Bob - Principles Of Object Oriented Design

What is object oriented design? What is it all about? What are it's benefits? What are it's costs? It may seem silly to ask these questions in a day and age when virtually every software developer is using an object oriented language of some kind. Yet the question is important because, it seems to me, that most of us use those languages without knowing why, and without knowing how to get the the most benefit out of them.

Martin @ Blog » Blog Archive » Java Date and Time API and JSR-310

The date and time function in the default Java SDK is flawed in many ways. While it can be used for most projects with some extra effort, it can also cause many unexpected problems. JSR-310 is on its way to finally fix this problem. However, it is still not yet sure if it will be part of Java 7, mainly because of the lack of developers.
For new projects, there is very few arguments for not using Joda Time. It is well tested and well supported, including support for Hibernate and JSP’s. It makes it a lot easier to perform calculations using dates, and provides an easy to use API with reliable performance.

Simple is a high performance XML serialization and configuration framework for Java. Its goal is to provide an XML framework that enables rapid development of XML configuration and communication systems. This framework aids the development of XML systems with minimal effort and reduced errors. It offers full object serialization and deserialization, maintaining each reference encountered. In essence it is similar to C# XML serialization for the Java platform, but offers additional features for interception and manipulation.
