For my own understanding, why do you say "(Exceptions) turn your program from a simple local thing into a complex nonlocal thing, which is not a good idea if you want to understand…

I think one of the biggest reasons why most libraries/frameworks/apps/etc. use inheritance over composition is the easy with which the underlying languages allow the use of inherit…

My problem with this approach is most people don't/can't pull it off properly with the end result being mediocre/sub-standard in either case. It's like when iPhone competitors trie…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think most developers were "disappointed" with the "goto fail" because it was code structure issue which could and should have been caught at compile…

What you're talking about is decoupling interface from implementation. This is good (well, it's good if there is a genuine need for more than one implementation, otherwise it's jus…

From the article, the author clearly states he has issues with the DI-driven design in general; Spring just happened to be the DI framework he was using at the time. Guice or any o…

It boils down to TCO (Total cost of ownership). Paying a one-time cost of X doesn't equate to X being TCO for that product/service. In a functional business environment, any busine…

I couldn't agree more with this article. For all the Angular.JS beauty and promises, I can't get past their decision of 'extend' a document mark-up language (HTML) into a 'full' pr…

I think the correct question should be: Is it worth your time learning any of the SPA (Single Page Application) MV* JavaScript framework (Backbone, Ember, Angular, Knockout, etc). …

Of all the basic version control intros/books, for me nothing beats Version Control by Example[1] book. It first explains the core concepts/commands behind version control such as …

"1. Recompile the Java code. 2. Stop your web server. 3. Redeploy the changes to your web server. 4. Start your web server. ... Unfortunately, hot deployment has never been 100 per…

Google (at least Gmail), LinkedIn, etc are to me modern web applications & AFAIK they are written in Java (or at least partly in Java) and I'm not counting countless enterprise web…

"detected using at least one of the technologies we track in this group" - does this mean some technology usage could be higher but it's absent because they're not tracking it? Fra…

I know that's how it's done now but it feels like it's a unnecessary extra step, especially if the "group" has no function of it's own.

I'm in a middle of designing an application to be used by two parties in such a way the involvement of the second party is more of a guide to the first party e.g. children & the pa…

Perfect. And may that be the last please something something post. Please!
