Yes it is just a binding between Jersey and templating engines (they maintain two of them: mustache.java and freemarker. I strongly recommend freemarker, since it is more complete in UI related transformations. This way it lets your Model l

Jetty is up to date, but Jersey is old yes. But the new jersey is also a bit problematic, more stuffy and slow (from the benchmarks of others, I haven't done it myself). But the good thing is, there is a big and passionate contributor

I can strongly recommend Dropwizard for the plan. It is much less stuffy/enterprisy and you can easily split big apps into smaller services. It is some glue code on top of Jersey run in embedded mode Jetty (thus very little ops work ne

In a world where twenty-something founders are highly praised, can this be really reflected on the startup scene? Me being 33 now, I feel like I can achieve much more with much less resource now. I am not sure if this is just an illusion or

Game companies are all the way in for bait-and-sell IAP model. In other words push some pain intermittently and then try to sell the painkillers. Which seems to work for them at least for now. I wish we would have a more healthy model to co

Regardless of who is playing the 'game of crossing the border' it should provide super low iteration times. Otherwise it is counterproductive. I am a coder, I can photoshop too, if needed. But it would probably kill my rhythm to find a base

Congrats, looks really nice! (already forwarded to our testing team) If you add a 'proxy layer' to your solution, that would be awesome. To explain the scenario, it is really very valuable for us app startups to see how it behaves in China,

The biggest success in our story involves perseverance and being humble. Any startup involves ups and downs, so especially the early recruits should be there to lift the heavy weight when needed. Losing an employee is bad for any company, b

Seen this may times now, and most of these efforts end up in something slightly better than the mess you started with. I believe the main reason is lack of support, mostly political. This has nothing to do in particular with Java or any oth
