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.
Linked in We now have a linked in group, join the group if you are a regular reader and want to see who else reads this blog.

Last Thursday (July 22nd, 2010) Rob Pike, a Principal Engineer at Google, gave a talk at the O’Reilly Open Source conference. In this talk he stated that established languages such as C++ and Java are too complex and not adequately suited for today’s computing environments. He then proceeded with some criticism of dynamically typed languages (that I share) and finally ended up plugging the Go language (which he co-developed) as a solution to the problem.
Now, Rob Pike is not nobody (in addition to being a Google principle engineer he has C and Unix credentials), plus the Go language has the Google brand name on it, so I thought it would be a good idea to check it out….

I have just upgraded the wordpress software to version 3. It all seemed to work fine. However I noticed errors in the archive pages. Therefore I wanted to upgrade to the latest and greatest atahualpa theme that I use for my blog. I should [...]

 The last weeks or maybe even months, I have spent time getting to understand the Axon Framework created by Allard. Axon is a framework that can help developers created a scalable and maintainable application based on Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) principles. Each morning Allard and I discussed the framework and the sample we wanted to have. Since I know my way around flex and Axon makes heavily use of events, I decided to create a flex client that could demonstrate some cool features of the Axon framework.
 This post is mainly about flex and Parsley. We will go into depth of the architecture of the client and how to talk to the server. I will describe the communication with the application that makes use of the axon framework, but I will not go into a lot of details. If you want more information about the Axon Framework I suggest you go to the website http://www.axonframework.org. There is good documentation available in the reference manual. If you want to learn about flex and the Parsley framework in general, please read on.

 The recent weeks I have been playing around with grails. When working with grails you have to learn groovy as well. Sometimes I am just amazed by the easiness of doing things with groovy. That is why I started out using groovy for a very small project (at least with groovy) to analyze an xml file as generated by the performance measurement framework Beet.
In this blog post I go step-to-step through a solution that analyzes the xml file and plots the results in a chart generated with jfreechart.

 Last week I attended a groovy & grails training by SpringSource. My first introduction into grails is about 2 years a go. I attended a talk at the spring experience. Back than I liked it, tried it, but did not really use it. By now a lot has changed, most of all very good tool integration by intellij. Last week I had the change to go to a training, now I am motivated to start using grails more often.
This post I will talk you through a grails application I have created for a project of mine. I also take you through some of the things I learned last week. Finally I’ll show you that you can create a google app engine application using grails. There are ways to create grails applications, I’ll show you how to do it using the latest intellij 9 beta release.

First and foremost an apology to all regular readers: I fully realize GridShore is not intended to deal with Microsoft technology (or whatever detritus is collected under that name). However, this one is such a beauty of having to go the long way to get things done that I don’t want to hold back.
As with many a long and winding trail, this one started this morning with what seemed like a short hike across a small and uncomplicated footpath. You see, of late I have found myself making more and more use of the different features of Outlook (something to do with becoming more senior in my company…). Among others, I’ve found that I’ve started using the little flags to mark mails that I have to get back to. But I receive so many mails nowadays that even in a single day the flags get snowed under and pushed off the list. Of course I could just sort by flag status, but I prefer to have today’s mails at the top (rather than the flags and ticks from two weeks ago). So I had myself a bright idea this morning: I’ll just change the grouping of my mails to group by received date and then flag status within the date groups. Walk in the park, right?
Oh mother….

 For a project that I am working on Your-Scrum I need a lot of items in a list that are sortable. One Story is to have a backlog with stories that are sortable to reflect the importance. Using Domain Driven Design, I have created a rich domain model. Using the model, we can execute all stories related to sorting items in a list. At the front-end I want an easy way to handle the sorting. I found a library for jQuery that can do the job for a large part on the client. Still there are some server side components as well.
The following screen gives an idea about the look and feel of the sortable list of stories.
