In "real life" you catch runtime exceptions everywhere, because well, that's what third-party libraries often throws. I hate that, especially when these exceptions occurs in prod...

RDF datastore that can be queried with SPARQL. A good friend is working on an advanced RDF client that behaves like Excel. Really powerful.

You're not far off. One of my customer, a startup, pays me a flat $400/m to take care of one Debian server (PostgreSQL+ Play + Lighttpd)

Always wake up at the same time (WE included), go to bed as soon as feeling tired : give marks to, and listen to your own body.

Imho Maven, despite its wide range of plugins and extentions mechanisms, is quite "convention over configuration" (cought cought) and really is made for projects that can adapt to its conventions, and to the popular Java artifacts layouts.

The question should be "why do you want to go away from java swing ?" What are the problems/limitations you encounter ? If there's no serious reasons to change, why change ? (well, there's the fun to rewrite all, the fun to learn technologi

I don't know if it qualify as "big data", but to fetch, index, classify (meta-data analysis) and rerank daily (6 hours) a set of more than 5 millions medical publications, the stack is simple : - Glassfish 3 (EJB, JPA, JSF) - PostgreSQL 9 -

Quick feedback: - Raise your prices or you won't survive the CAC reality - Invest in webdesign - Too much scrolling on your example tutorial - I'm not convinced it's a better solution that screencasts Good luck with your startup!

Lots of apps does not work with OpenJDK, I wonder how the "open" JDK differs from the "official" one. That's not real open-source to me (at least, not in the spirit). But I agree, the JVM is evolving in the right direction, maybe too slowly

Why trying to fully replicate the real world ? If you're presented a less than perfect virtual reality as the available reality as soon as you're born, that'll be your reality.

I was like you a long time ago ;) I hated JEE until I used JEE5 in a project with really good programming peers. Once you understand and adapt to the JEE vision and do not fight it, life is more beutifull. If a lightweight is needed, Nginx+

If you don't cleanly separate, the day you'll want to write an another client (Android, iOS) you'll loose a lot of valuable time refactoring or worse, duplicating code. Separation of concerns is a good reason, too. Spring MVC is also fine,

Why bothering with Grails when Ror have deployment options like TorqueBox ? Also, I'm so productive with devise+activemerchant+all others cool gems :)

Java is not making a comeback. I searched real hard remote JEE6/Play friendly startups, and now I'm learning Ror (interesting framework, I love gems) to adapt to the market.

I know a few startups in the healthcare space, they are just less vocal simply because their market is so much different that the typical B2C common model. Shameless plug : I'm a co-founder of trendMD ( http://www.trendmd.com ), a medical s
