Tom Klaasen's external memory about Java, XML, software engineering, and the world in general.
After a few nice years on blogs.cocoondev.org, I'm moving to a new installation. My Java feed moves here.
Nu zelfs Steven verhuisd is, en ik eigenlijk al een jaar of zestig niks meer over Cocoon heb verteld, ga ik bij deze ook mijn biezen pakken. Zie ik u aan de andere kant terug? Mijn niieuwe feed bevindt zich hier.
Romain reports that the JavaPolis 2005 reports are being put on-line. Nice stuff - although I still miss the "get audio only as an mp3 file" feature. I've been listening to JavaPosse during my commute the last few days, and I like it. Too bad this isn't (yet?) possible with the JavaPolis talks.
Shay demands not to switch from Eclipse to Netbeans. I'm bedazzled. Why would I switch? Just use them side-by-side: Eclipse for the serious work, and Netbeans to play with Matisse!
Je moet het maar doen: jarenlang blijven geloven in je eigen ding, en in de manier waarop je je ding doet. Dan mag je met recht content zijn als beiden hun vruchten afwerpen. Chapeau.
Norman Richards asks why people aren't moving to Java 5. One word: WebSphere. Most corporate environments (the ones I know and/or work with, at least) have not moved beyond 5.1 yet. I'm not even sure that there already exists a JDK 5.0-based WebSphere version.
Geweldig.

Charles:
This sort of language trivia is unlikely to be useful to anyone not just about to go into a certification exam, or entirely the wrong kind of programmer interview.[...]
If you find yourself in a situation where have to know the answer to any of these questions, turn around and run.
Right on!
Een leuk testje via de koebus. Zo ken ik mezelf: denken en dromen zoveel je wilt. Maar doén en beslissen, ho maar.
Update: Véél interessanter met de grafiek er ook echt bij.
Java developers are trained time and again to assert that objects are not null. This can result in weird Pavlov-like reflexes. Witness this snippet from a high-profile OSS project:
if (defaultValue != null) {
return defaultValue;
} else {
return null;
}
