WWW and Linux birthdays
Did you know when was officially launched the WWW?
Did you know when Linux 1.0 officially launched?
Answers
The World Wide Web Is 20 Years Old Today (exact day is March 13/2009).
Happy 15th Birthday Linux (exact day is March 13/2009).
I noticed this news in this other blog by Tom Kyte blog which I frequently visit and considered it was very interesting to post here too, the original entry is here. As Tom says there
Two creations that have changed a lot of things.
Java and a Gremlin
I was today looking for a mailing solution to implement in Spring Framework (better to spend some time looking for a prebuild solution than trying to implement the own one) and came across to the SpringSource blog area and noticed an interesting entry by founder Spring Framework project Rod Johnson called Enterprise Java and the American Motors Gremlin, on Apr.14th/2009 (well, and also noticed it was published on my birthday's day, what a coincidence).
Why I posted this link and entry to another link/entry.
Because I have always heard of the inproductive Java Tooling and platform is and why other models are more productive for developers to use. And this entry gives some clues to the future ahead, and also to have it set.

Spring MVC highlight
Today when I opened Spring Framework web site I noticed a poll question shown in the image at left (results shown only), it intrigued me to know which web controller was most used. As I like Spring MVC I thought, umm, it is going to be last, but to my surprise it is second after Struts (well, here about Struts it must be fair to know if it is Struts 1 or Struts 2 or it is both). This tells me that I chose a solid technology and I will use it in my studies until my employer or a client likes to use it somehow. Another clue about the good and solid web framework Spring MVC is given in this blog entry entitled I relented to Spring MVC; easy install IE7 feed reader web application.

Books from Manning
It has been a long time since I have not bought a book, in fact, a printed book. This blog today is to talk about books.
In my library I have had the pleasure to be able to buy books, not merely a photocopy or any other media. I buy these books and read them a little but the work absorbs most of the time and it is scarce to read about all the information needed to make oneself job much better, but knowing information is there no matter if it is as a reference pays the bill.
Fortunately, I have those books about literature, computers, in both English and Spanish and the preferred way of reading them are is in printed form, the classic way, but as internet and the technology permeates our lives it becomes more and more necessary to use other ways to acquire knowledge in an evolution manner to which the PDF has universally been the master for delivering a printed book to the digital era, which let's say, it keeps the earth from losing trees to make paper to make books, other materials are used to get a digital book to your hands (the use of computers to materialize them, in fact, a book is first drafted in a computer, then goes to printing in paper and printing electronically).
In the past I have been a little reluctant to buy complete books in Electronic book for copyright reasons and other facts, they don't allow me to read in any computer I wish, and I bought some, but as it is a little harder to read in a computer screen, it was left aside. Other they are password protected and unless I do not forget the password, I can read it anywhere I like. But, like or not, it is a cheaper way to have books and the space required to shelve them is minimal, only a few gigabytes of your computer hard disk space is required. And I have also to admit that I now collect any PDF or electronic book (in a way it can be read with a portable reader like Adobe Reader or PDF Reader) to have a full reference of data whenever I need it most.
All of this leads me to this final paragraph. Last Saturday I spent some bucks buying PDF books. They are entitled:
I bought these books to leverage higher my knowledge to Spring Framework, and TDD; and again, to be a better software developer and craftsman. There are times when a book must be bought because, specially these books, are not available, pity me, the-free-electronically available-book-resource, that is, in Internet; and one honor is to buy and respect the resources and time spent by the authors to get those contents to you, but as said, there are times when one needs that resource for free due to limited money to spend (if one could buy all one wish, there could be not enough money to get them), thus, if I need something the most, I must buy, and if it was get for free, the a share of gratitude and debt is granted herein.
I will, to the public, keep informed with my readings about these books, to start sharing my knowledge to the Universe.

At least in the forum and eMailing list arena
I have always been reluctant to use neither eMailing lists to ask the community nor a forum, because I have never known how to use these tools, but these days before today I began to use the eMailing list to ask something I needed and by the results received I got to use the forum media too. That is why I subscribed to the forum.springframework.org to ask something to the community. Both tools are invaluable resource to get acquainted to something and a learning tool by the way. It also lets you share knowledge and know people who has possibly worked your problems in one way or another. That is why I post this blog to let people know I am also using these tools. You can find me at this forum as the user Carlos Adolfo Ortiz Q'. I am also participating in the APPFUSE users list. MyFaces developer and user lists. I would wish you could be there by the way.

A new buzzword to my mind
I recently was reading my eMail and came across this editorial which I will reproduce verbatim
In fact is my first reading on the subject and in my IT career it is something to read on. My interests are so varied that an ocean of information over me is drowninmg me but I like it because it makes my brain think. Well, this is my first blog on web 2.0 explorations as it is a common buzzword these days.
Web 2.0 explorations will get me to learn more about Java, Ruby, C#, any way, many, many tools and items to have my day filled with a glamorous knowledge expectation. Thanks GOD for giving me this career, very speedy but the one I like most. Stay tuned to read more about this new buzzword in my vocabulary.
Today I'm attending a local ArcReady event in Indianapolis,
my home town (www.ArcReady.com). The topic of the day is Web 2.0.
As I've mentioned in the past, Web 2.0 is one of those nebulous
topics that if you ask ten people to define, you'll get eleven
answers. In fact, I'm working on a book to help define Web 2.0
and am finding that there are a variety of answers to the "what
is Web 2.0" question. There are also a large number of similarities
between people's definitions.
As points to ponder, consider the following statements. In your
opinion, Which of these are accurate?
- Web 2.0 is AJAX
- Web 2.0 is Software as a Service
- Web 2.0 is all about the Web as a platform.
- Web 2.0 is about empowering users
- In a Web 2.0 world, breadth of information is more important
than accuracy
- In a Web 2.0 world, the user should be viewed as a co-developer
- Flashing interfaces are a requirement of Web 2.0
If you thought that these were all true, then you and I disagree.
AJAX is a technology. Web 2.0 is built on technology; however, it is
not *the* technology.
Sofware as a Service generally falls into the Web 2.0 world. The Web
as a platform is also considered a part of Web 2.0; however, Web 2.0
is about more than just the Web as a platform.
Web 2.0 is absolutely about empowering users. This is one concept
where most industry leaders will agree.
Where you might find differing opinions is on whether breadth of
information is more important than accuracy. If, however, you look
at some of the leading Web 2.0 sites such as Wikipedia, Twitter, and
Facebook, you'll see that breadth does in fact seem to be a stronger
characteristic than accuracy.
The idea of the user as a co-developer should be scary to you as a
developer. In fact, this concept is becoming true. If you consider
your task as a developer to be the building Web applications, then you
begin to see that the users are getting more involved in this. This
can be at the level of adding content that changes the page. It can
also
be at the level of grabbing services and mashing them together with
other
services. The end-user is getting more involved. More importantly, the
tools are getting easier to use to build sites, so if you cut out the
users, you might end up having them cut you out.
Finally, the last bullet was about Web 2.0 equating to flashy
interfaces.
While most Web 2.0 sites have flashy interfaces, you will find that
most
industry leaders agree that it is the social interaction and aspects
that
are more indicative of a Web 2.0 application than the actual flashy
interfaces. Having said that, users are looking for "sizzle".
Do you disagree with my opinions? If so, swing by the feedback forum
and
let me know your thoughts.
Until next week!
Brad!
