Notes from a session at TheServerSide Java Symposium March 2009 Rod addressed some emerging best practices based around annotation-based application configuration using Spring 2.5 and later. The emerging best practice is to use the @Autowired annotation rather than @Resource. He demonstrated how to disambiguate bean references with @Qualifier. He also showed how to create your own custom annotations […] Notes from TheServerSide Java Symposium March 2009 At a keynote talk, you expect sweeping generalizations and “big picture” insights. Rod pointed out some things that I have watched happening over the past two decades, namely the rise and fall of complex monolithic software systems as an expensive luxury that falls in favor of simplicity along with economic cycles. “Enterprise […] Notes from a talk at TheServerSide Java Symposium March 2009 Hans is the project lead for a build system called Gradle. He presents it as a step beyond Ant and Maven. I think he has a point. His system uses Groovy scripts as build scripts instead of XML. The advantages of having a full language available in build […] Notes from TheServerSide Java Symposium March 2009 I was interested in this talk because we use a lot of Flex in MyAds for MySpace.

What’s the most important piece? Requirements? Customers? A problem? A: 1. People 2. Process, and 3. Tools Q: How do we start? Use cases? Architecture? Domain? Just start coding? Is architecture emergent? A: It can be … […] These are random notes from Neal Ford’s keynote talk at TheServerSide Java Symposium. The “furniture police” he mentions are the management folks that unintentionally take productive people and squeeze them into environments such as cubicle farms that make productivity difficult. It’s also a metaphor for every distracting thing in the workplace. The reference comes the book Peopleware: Productive […] Jane and I wanted to set up WordPress blogs with all the bells and whistles, and we had a quiet “pajama” weekend on tap.
