Several people have mentioned that the new logo didn't fit in with the rest of the site and I have to agree. The site as it stands now just works. It's consistent. Patrick uses flashy colors to attract your attention to the important bits.

I never meant to call anybody on here stupid, but it's how I felt about that guy back then. It's difficult to quantify the increase in productivity using Django - since I never wrote the same project twice and a lot depends on the Java fram

And that's why I thought he was talking about Java webapps in general. I mean, JSTL is pretty useless if that's the way you're going to use JSP. :)

Once upon a time some guy thought it would be a great idea to simply construct SQL queries, make the DB calls and loop over the result sets trying to create somewhat decent output, all in a single JSP. I'm so incredibly happy I never had to

Thanks for making me feel a bit better. The only way I can get a valid web.xml file is by getting started from a simple copy and then relying on my IDE to warn me when I'm about to make a mistake. Come to think of it: I don't know when I la

I prefer scripting languages over a pure Java stack simply because I can reload the page and see what's happening with the new code. Yes, you can use JRebel, hook up a debugger and tweak settings to get some hot code replacement, but they'v

I think ppk is wrong here. Completely wrong. As mentioned in the comments of the article, this would mean the first to implement a new feature would be able to define how it works. Not a good idea. We need some form of consensus. And also m

Add doubleclicking to that list, because that's my preferred way of selecting a line of text. Unfortunately a lot of people also doubleclick on links. I guess there's a lesson here: don't try to chase a higher conversion rate by getting in

I guess you're not one of those people that selects text as you're reading. :)

I use Sifter and love the way it looks and works, but the lack of any kind of API is starting to get on my nerves.

You should have a look at Flying Saucer/xhtmlrenderer ( https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net/ ). It handles every CSS rule I could throw at it. If you simply need a commandline app converting a XHTML file into a PDF, you're done in 10 lines o

No, he's talking about programmers who want to sell software without spending time on marketing it to their potential customers. Unless you've got an incredible product you'll have to get off your ass at some point and actively try to sell

If you or your friend are not comfortable with anything else, stick with plain Java. Check out the Play framework if you really want to prevent boredom because you've all done it before. Or Groovy. If you don't want to do Java projects in t

You're right that it would be easier if some things were set to a reasonable default. But if you want it right now: create a custom command to do it your way and wrap it in an app that you add to the path. When you start a new project, the

The keyword is "static". You'll often want to use a mock implementation rather than connecting to a remote server, checking for a 404 error and returning true or false - every time you run your tests. Loosely coupled objects will allow you
