Raible Designs | Introduction to Grails with Scott Davis at the Colorado Software Summit
Introduction to Grails with Scott Davis at the Colorado Software Summit by Raible Designs.
We're moving into a new era of web frameworks. The expectation now is a full-stack solution. Grails is a fully integrated modern Java web application in a box. It contains Spring, Hibernate, Quartz, Log4J, Jetty, HSQL, JUnit and Ant. You're not limited to using Jetty, you can type "grails war" and create a WAR that you can deploy to any application server. In a single zip/tar, you get the whole thing - including the database and servlet container. You get a lot of good default for free, but you're not limited to those defaults.

On Coding in C++, Java, Perl, Scheme, and Ruby
On Coding in C++, Java, Perl, Scheme, and Ruby: "Coding in Java is like walking. You move along, slowly, methodically, irrevocably making progress toward your goal. It takes time, and you must occasionally walk around strange language idioms and syntax requirements, but it is not actually dangerous. Nothing is trying to kill you with segmentation faults, and you will, inevitably, reach your destination. And sometimes, depending on where you are going, you may even have time to contemplate some pretty sights along the way."
Microsoft's blue monster wine gets the Russian treatment...
gapingvoid: "cartoons drawn on the back of business cards": the blue monster: "
[Landscape: click on image to enlarge etc.]"
[Landscape: click on image to enlarge etc.]"
It's almost been about a year since Hugh from Gapingvoid created the Blue Monster, the persona that is pushing Microsoft to articulate its message to the people in a different way. Since then, he has released a wine through his employer, Stormhoek. Russian Livejournaller supehero took that and ran with it:
Translated, the dialogue reads:
Do you really want to drink? Yes
100 grams? Yes
Or 150 grams? Yes
Or 100 first, and then 150? Yes
Or maybe 250 right away? Yes
Can I ask another question? No
Okay, let's do it then? Yes
Pissed off yet? Yes
Maybe we'll just say 'fuck it'? Fuck no!
15 drops remaining...10 drops remaining...5 drops remaining...
Operation 'change the world' created an error. The bottle will be closed.

The one person I knew in San Diego returned to her house yesterday. Looks like she's going to be okay.
Installing and configuring Apache Tomcat 5.5 and 6.x. (Windows and Linux) « My Java World
Installing and configuring Apache Tomcat 5.5 and 6.x. (Windows and Linux): "Although this topic is simple for many people, it may be useful for those who are starting in the Java Web World." Also useful for me to work on my grammar-correcting skills, since configurating wasn't a word the last time I checked.

What is the Google Collections Library?
What is the Google Collections Library?: "'Of course, this is a really trivial example. What's great about something like Multimap is that the minute you realize you need something slightly more complex, it's already ready to handle that for you. For example, if you're removing entries as well as adding them, in the first code example you'd have to figure out what to do about pruning those empty collections. With Multimap it just happens.'"

Семен Семеныч Горбунков - Супергерои. I speak Russian, and read it badly. Bloggers in the RuNet, or Russian Internet, are polarized on Putin and what he will do in the future Russian elections.
