As if web framework religious discussions weren’t annoying enough, one thing that I always think is missing from such debates is context regarding the type of application being developed. It’s like discussing the best mode of personal travel without taking the type and size of journey into account. There’s a reason why you walk to the mailbox and drive to the store. You can drive to the mailbox but it will incur costs greater than the benefits. Similarly, you can walk to the store as long as it isn’t too far, you have the time to do so and you aren’t buying much.

Short tutorial on how to get started writing a web application using clojure and compojure.

Discover when and when not to use Strings in Java. This article describes in an easy way a common pitfall when working with Strings in ordinary java applications.

For most Groovy scripts I use, I simply run the script from its Groovy source code as-is and allow the compilation to take place implicitly.  However, it can be helpful at times to use groovyc to compile Groovy code into .class files and then execute those .class files via the normal Java launcher (java).  The groovyc compiler is also a necessity when mixing Groovy and Java code in the same compilation step.

The wait is finally over! You can now download WebORB for Java 4.0. Just as we did with WebORB for .NET 4.0, we’ve added many new developer productivity tools and feature enhancements to ease the process of developing and integrating online applications.

Anyway bear with me as they were just tongue in cheek bits of fun. Sure, not so fun for Progress, who are gonna have customers reading this noise and thinking "WTF?", but then that was the point :)

In this post, we look at two scenarios where deploying on Tcat can help you to go further with your Spring web applications.

The Google Data Protocol is an Application Programming Interface released by Google Inc. This API creates an interface which gives a developer tools to search and interact with many of the different services provided by google. (Google Docs, Google Calender, Youtube etc...)The Google Data(GData) API has a library for many different languages; this tutorial covers the Java Client. In this tutorial I will cover installation of the GData Java client eclipse plug-in, a brief overview of many of the APIs and finally an example using the Code Search library.

So far, NetBeans IDE 6.10, Milestone 1, is quite impressive IMO.
