It is now time for Java Developers to Stop, Look, Listen and Live! The climate is changing. Java the language is entering middle age. Java is not the first language that developers are picking up. These days when I talk to young non-Microsoft developers, a lot of them don’t know Java and have no plans to learn it either. Dynamic and functional languages are on the rise. The web IS a viable platform for business.

In The Web 2.0 - or are we going the wrong way?, Tom accurately compares Web 2.0 with 3270 (and 5250) terminals of yesteryear and wonders aloud if E4 belongs on Web 2.0. This is a good question. What is the right way to go, both politically and technically?

As RESTful patterns for solving problems of enterprise development are discovered, used, and socialized, the net effect will be to unleash a great revival of custom, not-HTTP, non-RESTful protocols. What!?! you say. Read on.

Most services needed to develop, manage, and deploy a website are free, except for hosting perhaps. Version control, project management, bug tracking — all that a developer or a small team might need is online for $0, thanks to some far-sighted providers.

Remember when people built cool web apps with Java? When was the last time you heard about a cool web app that wasn't written in Rails or PHP? OK, people still build lots of cool stuff in Java, but the love is gone and its just a day job now.

Object-oriented databases complement relational databases in important ways, says Anat Gafni, VP of Engineering at db4objects, the company behind the open-source object database db4o. In this interview with Artima, Gafni explains how OO databases support agile development, and how they co-exist with relational databases in an enterprise.

Charles Nutter, a Sun engineer who has worked on the JRuby project, commented on PHP in a panel discussion at Sun's CommunityOne conference. I will not join the "PHP vs. Ruby on Rails" "discussion" here, as the comparison of a programming language to a web application framework for another language does not make sense, IMHO. Instead, I would like to comment on two of Charles Nutter's points.

JavaOne 2008 is over. I’m still processing everything I’ve seen, but so far I didn’t see to much I didn’t know about before; certainly nothing shocking. Here are some of my observations related to Java7 and alternative languages for the JVM

Quotes Bill Gates: "They also came up with this idea to stop hurricanes. Basically, the waves in the ocean have energy, and you use that to lower the temperature differential. I’m not saying it necessarily is going to work. But it’s just an example of something where you go, Wow." Wow is right. They can patent an idea for controlling Mother Nature without any single shred of R&D that tries to actually accomplish an impossible feat.

While we may have recorded this episode at JavaOne 2008, we spent most of our time talking about more general programming and Java concerns: Scala and functional languages, the freak-out (or lack thereof?) around multi-core programming, breaking around the safe sandbox of the VM to take advantage of operating system features and other technologies, and other topics, like who came up with those epigraphs in the Java Language Specification.

As I said before, I am a supporter of checked exceptions in Java. I think they are a great idea that supports serious software development in the real world. I also think Java’s huge success can be attributed in part to checked exceptions. But this doesn’t mean I like everything about how the Java’s exception handling system was implemented.

I had lunch with a former colleague recently, and we were discussing the type of work environments that are conducive to productivity and employee retention. As a psychology major he was able to pinpoint a simple principle that I had overlooked, but that was strikingly obvious. Enlightened by his observation, I wonder now how many in my field wish to adorn a stick-on name tag, and state with anxious resolve, "Hi, my name is Resource. I am seventy-five percent billable."

With this transaction, we will finally able to judge Borland's management on its ability to develop the other products. The question is why would Embarcadero buy such an apparently bad business?

I was excited to see Neal talk about closures and I think he did a pretty good job staying focused on practical ways to use closures to reduce boilerplate. The problem with talking about closures is that it’s hard to stay focused on the practical benefits without getting bogged down into debates over syntax and features. On that front, I think Neal’s talk was a big success.

Advocates of graphical notations have long hoped we would reach the point were we only draw diagrams and don’t write textual code. There have even been a few visual programming environments that have come and gone over the years. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then why hasn’t this happened?
