Welcome

Welcome to our blog about all kind of topics that are related to software development. We blog about:

SOA, BPM, EDA, ECM and all the other buzz words. Beware some post might not be so common as you think. We are not scared to go against main stream thoughts.

Technologies like java, maven, springframework, OSGi and front end technologies and frameworks like jQuery, DWR, Flex.

Finally to make this happen we need tools and of course a Mac (well some of us do). So we blog about that as well.

Want to see a real UI cross-platform application framework?

Ever wondered what language or library is used for Google Earth, Skype, Sony Mylo, Photoshop Album, KDE, VLC Media Player and of course my companies own Papyrus EYE? It is NOT .NET, JAVA nor Adobe Flex, OpenLaszlo, JavaFX, AJAX, or Silverlight.
Read on, if you want to find out..

Using smultron as a TextMate alternative

This is a short post about again another tool for the mac. I was using TextMate as an external text editor. There were a few reasons why I liked it a lot. I am using it mainly for editing files without opening a full blown editor like IntelliJ or DashCode. Since I am doing a [...]
