JBuzz-Word

Last week I was in Rome to attend and deliver a presentation to the OpenSoure Day, a one day event organized by Red Hat, and as the name suggests, the day was focused on opensource solutions.
I was really happy to see that the event was crowded, it means that Opensource is becoming mainstream also [...]

How many lines of code to do something like this?

def host = new Ghost(“barman.byte-code.com“)
def result = host.ls()
println result

think about it carefully… do you think it’s possible in less then 10?
Let’s pull out a groovy solution!
The server:
1:import groovy.net.xmlrpc.*
2:import java.net.ServerSocket
3:
4:def server = new XMLRPCServer()
5:def socket = new ServerSocket(8080)
6:
7:server.executeShell = [...]

Hi,
as “usual” in the sunny Florida is raining;) and yesterday we also get a “funny” tornado alert!
Anyway we managed to get to our first conference JBoss World. And the hotel is whaoooo! Soon you’ll see some shots on flikr!
I’m now attending @ “Leveraging Ajax and Metdata for Hoc-Reporting” from a Penthao guy [...]

Hi all,
given some requests I publish a classresolver for Wicket that enable groovy pages & components to be hot reloaded in development mode.
I suppose you have a project with maven and so let’s start…

Get the “mighty” GrovvyClassResolver
(fix up the package)
Open the WebApplication class and do something like that (remember that I use maven & [...]

Now I’m almost set up!! And very happy that this year I will attend to JBoss World!
And the week after to 2G Experience !
I’m looking forward to give you a live coverage of the events form the states, so stay tuned between 10 & 24 feb !

it requires a lot of action!
Take it Grails-1.0-RC4

Here you are a basic grails rpm.
Fast startup:
1)Take it (http://people.byte-code.com/dpanelli/grails-1.0-2.noarch.rpm)
2)rpm -Uh grails-1.0-2.noarch.rpm
…and you should be on Grails!
Have fun!

Grails is the evolution of the java web platform towards the “rails-way”, with the awesome advantage that you can reuse out of the box all the wonderful java libs available or you have written. But even more important is that you can have a “soft” migration of the java skills(spring,hibernate) and processes as no one [...]

I was thinking about the division of programmers(at least in the java field…): 90% - 10% …

90% of “ordinary” programmers, just trying to do their work(hopefully…)
10% of “extraordinary” programmers, they want to lead and demonstrate that they’re faster,clever, better, anything ${whatyouwant}er

So the “e” leads the development community finding “genius” solutions, by doing black magics [...]

I’m an Idea user, just to know, and the other IDEs until now where just too ….. too… well, complete with anything you want that means “not good enough”, in my opinion of course. Eclipse is too “complex” and confusing with those prespectives,views,cazzi e mazzi,with big plugin-geddon mess, Netbeans was too semplicitic and wizard-oriented. Idea [...]
