good explanation of procedural vs OO programming, but I got kind of lost with the -er tip, is it all about naming conventions, should I go and rename all my ZzzXxxer classes to XxxxZzz?

I don't think the problem with Gnome3 or Unity is that it's hard to switch back, is that they are incomplete prototypes that are being forced upon us to replace a mature and time tested platform. What is really wrong is that canonical is re

"They looked at 130 different values per country and year", they don't say how many years were studied but I assume the greece book fixing lasted only a few years so we are looking at ~500 samples. I honestly don't know if that's enough or

I think groovy is out of the map for Play v2.0, in any case it's going to be a while for it to be production ready, so I guess the current version still has some life on it.

I agree with you, what's next after this? designers that can't use photoshop because it is not part of their intelligence type? HTML/CSS is the designers medium and they have to learn how to use it just as a painter needs to learn how to us

The only outrage here is that a tax-payer funded entity is outraged because its payroll details were leaked. Don't I have the right to know how my taxes are spent? (supposing I was Scottish)

I guess it's easier if you can locate and chat your prospective users, but what can you do if there is no coffee shop where you can find a group of 5 prospective users? I mean I don't know if they exist, much less I can interview hem

who exactly are those Java developers that dismiss current Java options and are waiting for prototype languages? I was honestly unaware that someone important in the community had that opinion, can anyone provide references of those opinion

"Isolated tests go much better hand in hand with a few integration tests" I would say that it is the other way around and that integration tests go much better hand in hand with a few isolated tests, though I've never been a fan of the TDD

All you say is valid but if you are going to argument that A > B, you cannot say that one of the reasons is "because I like A" or its equivalent "because A just work"

I'm sure there are many reasons why such switch would make sense, but the ones provided here are just BS. 1)"No more XML config files" XML configs are slowly disappearing 2)"by omitting the type info a python program has fewer opportunities

is that what this book is about? I though it was about FP principles without any specific implementation. How do you actually do FP in Java? anonymous inner classes everywhere?

agreed, "don't do the shotgun method" is easier said when companies actually explain what they are looking for, instead of that what you get are increasingly generic job posts and don't even get me started on the headhunters scum. The hirin
