Things To Look Into
Where has the all the Java excitement gone?
Continuing my tradition of making a list of things that I ought to know. Here's a few things that I think merits some deeper examination:
- JBoss Seam <--JSF&EJB3 framework, no Springs, no Struts, just an app server and me
- The announcement is here. The product page is here. The documentation is here. More info here. Accolades here.
- LINQ <--Language INtegrated Query, sprinkle selects in C# code
- The video is here. The in depth coverage is here. The debate is here, here, and here. And of course the podcast is here (actually here.)
I should list more items, but I really couldn't find anything more that's worth writing about. Indeed, nowadays when Java people meet, the conversation goes something like this: "What's new in the Java world?" "Nothing. Everything is old news now—AOP, Spring, Hibernate, etc."
Don't make me learn Ruby! <scream/>
