Software metrics can help you find hidden design elements in your code, enabling them to
emerge as idiomatic patterns. This installment of Evolutionary architecture and emergent design shows how intelligent use of metrics and visualizations lets you discover important code elements that are obscured by accidental complexity.
Ajax does have its detractors. Their argument goes as follows: Why
reinvent everything that has already been done on the desktop on an
inferior platform? I do agree that the attraction of Ajax is subjective
(i.e., not based on technological arguments). This is obvious whenever
I’m excited about something web-based, show it to non-developer friends
and their only reaction is boredom. Then I...
I’m on the road to prepare my example for the E4 talk I’m delivering on the Eclipse-Developers-Day in Karlsruhe and I have to say that in my eyes E4 is going to open up a new world for Eclipse-RCP-Developers.

I seem to be caught between two IDEs: Eclipse and IntelliJ. I abandoned

A Java technology insider says the future of Java hinges on how Oracle handles the JCP, the Project Harmony certification process, and the OpenJDK project.
Learn how to use the Java version of the Google App Engine by implementing search and document storage on a Java web application running on the platform.
Scala is an exciting, modern, multi-paradigm language for the JVM. You can use it to write traditional, imperative, object-oriented code. But you can also leverage its higher level of abstraction to take full advantage of modern, multicore systems. Programming Scala will show you how to use this powerful functional programming language to create highly scalable, highly concurrent applications on the Java Platform.
I needed to estimate the effort required to port a Spring Rich Client application to AIR. Spring RCP applications are actually Java Swing applications. The project had 93 Java files, consisting of 118 Java classes and 16,950 total lines of...
Attack complexity in your Java applications using Modular Java. This pragmatic guide introduces you to OSGi and Spring Dynamic Modules, two of the most compelling frameworks for Java modularization. Driven by real-world examples, this book will equip you with the know-how you need to develop Java applications that are composed of smaller, loosely-coupled, highly-cohesive modules.
I was just reading a post on The Planetarium about the latest JavaFX samples. I realized that when JavaFX v1.2 was released last month, I never did go and have...
Hot on the heels of the latest Eclipse release comes version 6.7 of Netbeans. The main enhancement focuses on the increased support for developer collaboration. Netbeans now works hand in...
