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.

It does look incredibly fast by the way. So as a user I am interested. The next presentation is what this blog post is about, Failure comes in flavors. The other presentations I attended about RIA’s were not very interesting and based on the feedback, I did not miss anything by not attending any of the last presentations.

More about the good news, the extra long presentation (two sessions) about Failures in Java was very interesting. I got a lot of ideas out of it. If you continue reading, I’ll share some of these ideas.

Doing JAOO day 1

By jettro, on September 30th, 2008

jaoologo_entry.gifFrom monday to wednesday I am attending JAOO in Denmark with 6 other colleagues. I am not going to give an extensive report, but some notes and remarks might interest you guys.

The first day in just a few words, not necessarily in order: Linq (why don’t we have this is java?), performance and scalability (still important), programming the cloud (gives new things to think about), google apis (wow there is really a lot you can do), scala (just not my thing), beer (there is enough here)
