Today a former colleague of mine has shown me this site http://stackoverflow.com.
From the first impression it seam like strange structured forum, but it turned out that is more than that, a Question and Answer site for developers of any kind.
If U don’t know something? Just ask the question, and you’ll be helped.
Nice idea indeed.
I think that this site is nice to have in the Firefox bookmarks, just near by Koders.com.
Just check it out,
Nice day.
PS. G thanks for the link…
I just found a post on the Javalobby about a list of “indispensable” java tools, that anybody should use(?)…like:
StringUtils from Apache’s commons-lang (http://commons.apache.org/lang/)
IOUtils and FileUtils from Apache’s commons-io (http://commons.apache.org/io/)
Google collections from Google Code (http://code.google.com/p/google-collections/)
….
Read the whole article here.
I personally did not used any of the above mentioned. I cannot say that I have used a helper library like those above till now (besides the complez aplication modules, like log4j and so…). Usually I am concentrating in having as little additional jars in my project as possible, so if there is no crazy need I will not use any of the above. I have lived without them until now and I do not feel an urge to use them not even now. I rather like to solve these glitches myself because using stuff written by others does not teach u anything, just increases the lazyiness (At least this is how I see the thing). Besides this even if you use only one class from a 10k jar the VM still has to open an read up the file, which means time, so my question is: Is it worth it?
Do you use any other “nice to have” libraries that are worth mentioning?
Have a nice day
Happy coding
Hi all
Log time no…write 
.
Well i’ve been kind of busy (ad maybe too lazy) lately, to write something, but today I have found a nice piece of software presented in a short article on the JavaLobby portal. The article presents a nice idea:Â let’s have a WordPress blogging engine written in Java?
HOW can this be done?: by migrating the code from PHP to Java…simple as that…
and here it is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nwordpress, the foks from http://numiton.org/ have done it. My congrats….
I can’t wait to try it out…and mostly to have a look at the code… …. maybe I’ll try to migrate my WordPress again…hopefully with more success than last time.
Have nice day, and happy coding
