I was hoping to see more responses :). Looks like hacker community already has ditched Java Web frameworks. I personally like how Play has evolved, but adoption is severely thin. T…

Web has evolved and Java web frameworks are still in the 90's. What does the Hacker community think about which Java Web framework is going to nudge out the rest and really adopted…

I am exploring play for my next project, and all i can say is i am thoroughly impressed. With typesafe providing resources, i am hoping this seriously dents J2EE stacks.

2 years back i spent 2K on a group of 4, movies and dinner. It is getting expensive. Growing up, i never spent more than 100 rupees on dinner for one.

This comparison is asinine at best. The runtime is bound to be bigger. And remember DART eventually will have the runtime included in Chrome and hopefully other browsers. The way t…

Wow what a relief to see they are dogfooding. This is built on GWT and the performance is kick ass.

We are evaluating Cloud foundry (Java GWT App) and so far changes seem doable to port. The reason cloud foundry is viable is that there is no lock in and if one provider flips anot…

We use bitbucket and it has been awesome for a small startup. I am surprised that Github charges close to $12 a month for DVCS. what do you guys think Github offers which justifies…

This makes more sense, random users being able to request RESETS. I agree sending a time bound link to registered email is better. What type of token generation mechanism would you…

Hmm...interesting. Click wise it probably is less clicks and you are also forcing the user to change his password. Unless you add logic to ask the user to change his password with …

We do use BCrypt. Trying to figure out if implementing an extra layer of sending an email with a link to reset password has advantages over just sending a one time changed password…

What do you guys think is a better and safer way to handle forgot password? Many sites out there reset and create a temporary password and send it in email in plain text. Others no…

Google Chromebook will have updates but they will be of chrome browser types where they happen behind the scenes and downloads are tiny. You restart your browser and you are on a n…
