Among the lightning talks I saw was this embedded presentation by Yuriy Litvinenko, and tips on Maven from Anton Naumov. Unni test [slideshare id=12295350&w=425&h=355&sc=no] View more presentations from Yuriy Litvinenko I also gave a talk, I’ll expect to post the slides after a few.https://tomhickerson.com/en/archives/en/2007/2007-03-15-do-we-forget-the-lean-times/Thu, 15 Mar 2007 00:00:00 +0000https://tomhickerson.com/en/archives/en/2007/2007-03-15-do-we-forget-the-lean-times/I remember the lean times. I was once without a job for nine months, and I was working a part-time job on and off while looking for an IT job after finishing ArsDigita University. Remembering those times make you a little scared, make you want to save money instead of spend it, make you want to have an escape route out of your current situation in case it comes crashing down.https://tomhickerson.com/en/archives/en/2005/2005-12-30-joel-on-education/Fri, 30 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000https://tomhickerson.com/en/archives/en/2005/2005-12-30-joel-on-education/Oh Joel, your bust on the perils of Java schools cuts this errant programmer close to the bone. Having taken the Structure and Interpretation course, but then leapfrogging the 'classic' C and C++ education directly into a Java curriculum, I found myself wondering where was I in your article; the 'lazy kid' or the student up late at night, who was struggling with recursion and pointers? I have to admit that, at one time I was both.https://tomhickerson.com/en/archives/en/2005/2005-11-24-too-many-cooks-in-the-kitchen/Thu, 24 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0000https://tomhickerson.com/en/archives/en/2005/2005-11-24-too-many-cooks-in-the-kitchen/I don't blog that much about Java because hey, let's face it, this is my personal blog, and I like to blog about stuff that's fun for me. However, on Jroller you get to see a lot of themes here for all sorts of different types of Java developers. There's the Wicket diary, a lot of voices about Spring, and so on. Something that other Java blogs have pointed out is that Java is riding the crest of a wave, and after 10 years, people are wondering when Java will officially 'peak' and begin to get its market share eaten up by someone else; look at Jayson's recent post about the Innovator's Dilemma; now that we're at the top of the mountain, where do we go?https://tomhickerson.com/en/archives/en/2005/2005-05-27-buzz-buzz-buzz/Fri, 27 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000https://tomhickerson.com/en/archives/en/2005/2005-05-27-buzz-buzz-buzz/Just took a look at Beehive and the cutely-named module for Eclipse, Pollinate. Does it bother anyone that a 1.0 release is still considered beta? I found this statement on the site: This distribution is a beta release and is not intended for creating production-level applications. If it’s still beta, why give it a 1.0 label and start work on a 2.0 release?
