Joel on Software - Set Your Priorities

Joel on Software - Set Your Priorities:
"I should have realized that "important" is not a binary thing, it's an analog thing. There are all kinds of different shades of important, and if you try to do everything, you'll never get anything done.
So if you want to get things done, you positively have to understand at any given point in time what is the most important thing to get done right now
....
keeping your desk clean is actually probably a sign that you're not being effective.
....
Don't do features based on what the sales force has inadvertently promised a single customer, and don't do unimportant-slash-fun features first because "you're going to have to do them eventually anyway."

The Power of Default Values (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)

The Power of Default Values (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox):
"How gullible are Web users? Sadly, the answer seems to be 'very.'
....
42% of users clicked the top search hit, and 8% of users clicked the second hit. So far, no news.
....
second test, ... secretly fed the search results through a script before displaying them to users. This script swapped the order of the top two search hits. In other words, what was originally the number two entry in the search engine's prioritization ended up on top, and the top entry was relegated to second place.

In this swapped condition, users still clicked on the top entry 34% of the time and on the second hit 12% of the time."

struts på veg ut?

eit argument for å kombinera tapestry med struts, i staden for å velga:

JavaServer Faces vs Tapestry - A Head-to-Head Comparison: "component- and event-based frameworks are better suited for handling the page/view, while action-based frameworks are *still* better for navigation/controller logic. Centralization of the logic/state, page flow, exception handling, etc. all fit more nicely in a framework that's removed from components and events. Just as Struts users had to shoehorn page event handling into controller actions, pure JSF/Tapestry users will shoehorn the controller tier into an event-handling framework that's more suited to intra-page events."

Bonsai - cvs på web

Bonsai: "Bonsai is tree control.

It is a tool that lets you perform queries on the contents of a CVS archive; you can: get a list of checkins, see what checkins have been made by a given person, or on a given CVS branch, or in a particular time period. It also includes tools for looking at checkin logs (and comments); doing diffs between various versions of a file; and finding out which person is responsible for changing a particular line of code ('cvsblame')."

Joel on Software - The Joel Test: 12 Steps to Better Code: "The Joel Test

1. Do you use source control?
2. Can you make a build in one step?
3. Do you make daily builds?
4. Do you have a bug database?
5. Do you fix bugs before writing new code?
6. Do you have an up-to-date schedule?
7. Do you have a spec?
8. Do programmers have quiet working conditions?
9. Do you use the best tools money can buy?
10. Do you have testers?
11. Do new candidates write code during their interview?
12. Do you do hallway usability testing?"

Struts, Tapestry

Jf lenke frå Inge...

The problem is that even simple things take so much wiring."

Asynchronous JavaScript Technology and XML (AJAX) With Java 2

tutorial. inkludert ein del hands-on detaljar.

Asynchronous JavaScript Technology and XML (AJAX) With Java 2: "Some uses for AJAX interactions are the following:

• Real-Time Form Data Validation: Form data such as user IDs, serial numbers, postal codes, or even special coupon codes that require server-side validation can be validated in a form before the user submits a form.


• Autocompletion: A specific portion of form data such as an email address, name, or city name may be autocompleted as the user types.


• Master Details Operations: Based on a client event, an HTML page can fetch more detailed information on data such as a product listing that enables the client to view the individual product information without refreshing the page.


• Sophisticated User Interface Controls: Controls such as tree controls, menus, and progress bars may be provided that do not require page refreshes.


• Refreshing Data on the Page: HTML pages may poll data from a server for up-to-date data such as scores, stock quotes, weather, or application-specific data.


• Server-side Notifications: An HTML page may simulate a server-side push by polling the server for event notifications that may notify the client with a message, refresh page data, or redirect the client to another page.

This list is not all-inclusive, but it shows that AJAX interactions allow web applications to do much more than they have done in the past. Although many of these benefits are noteworthy, this approach has some drawbacks as well:

• Complexity: Server-side developers will need to understand that presentation logic will be required in the HTML client pages as well as in the server-side logic to generate the XML content needed by the client HTML pages. HTML page developers must have JavaScript technology skills. Creating AJAX-enabled applications will become easier as new frameworks are created and existing frameworks evolve to support the interaction model.


• Standardization of the XMLHttpRequest Object: The XMLHttpRequest object is not yet part of the JavaScript technology specification, which means that the behavior may vary depending on the client.


• JavaScript Technology Implementations: AJAX interactions depend heavily on JavaScript technology, which has subtle differences depending on the client. See QuirksMode.org for more details on browser-specific differences.


• Debugging: AJAX applications are also difficult to debug because the processing logic is embedded both in the client and on the server.


• Viewable Source: The client-side JavaScript technology may be viewed simply by selecting View Source from an AJAX-enabled HTML page. A poorly designed AJAX-based application could open itself up to hackers or plagiarism."

Listen kids, AJAX is not cool

The Last Craft? Marcus' blog on Agile Web Development >> Listen kids, AJAX is not cool: "I cannot think of a worse collision of technologies than low level user interfaces with requests over the internet. The delays and failures of internet traffic are especially painful in this environment and, from the AJAX demos I’ve seen, the developers aren’t helping."

....
"Even when the process is improved, there is no guarantee that we have enhanced the user experience."

....
"AJAX does have some uses. If you are exploring a dataset, you don’t want to fetch the core data again on every attempt to expand just a portion of the information."

....
"AJAX has possibilities, but it’s not there yet. Not as a community and not with the tools. Web developers cannot become GUI developers overnight. We need time."

bottom line er vel at det er store fall-gruver...

Luntbuild 1.2, Build Automation and Management Server, Released

Luntbuild 1.2, Build Automation and Management Server, Released:
"Luntbuild 1.2, a build automation and management server with a web application as front end, has been released with new features of Maven support, project dependency configuration, role based security, and more. One of its build management features is that it's able to categorize build results, such that you might be able to label a given build as being flawed or beta quality.

Luntbuild is designed to be installed quickly, such that a build portal can be set up for a team to enable continuous integration tasks. Since continuous integration tends to yield a lot of builds (see "Daily builds with Luntbuild"), the labeling feature can be very important."
....
"It was easy to install, easy to setup, it is easy to maintain and I can't think of any major flaws that would prevent me from continuing to use it."
....
"Luntbuild is not just a continuous integration system. It's a full automated build and build management system. I've got our QA looking at using it for all of their builds (not scheduled, triggered manually) and for build management and promotion. "
