Why blogging 2.

I realised that I can't wait to answer why do I blog? :)

I always need a conversation for growing my ideas. This is the main reason I blog. Even if no one comments, blogging makes it a conversation: I come to the idea next day and I can discuss it with "yesterday's Lilia" :) Of course, articulation helps growing ideas as well.

Another reason to blog is to make some free space in my memory: I can easily come back to it later.

Compile Nightly, Run Faster.

Compiled programs have a speed advantage over interpreted programs. Even when the would-be interpreted program is JIT'ed, real compilation still has the advantage.

So why not just have your computer compile all the scripts and VM code on your computer, while it is not doing anything else.

I always thought that Struts was just another name for the MVC (Model-View-Controller) design pattern. I'll skim this free chapter to see how far off I am:

Fast Track to Struts - Chapter PDF Available for Download. A chapter excerpt from 'Practical J2EE Application Architecture', an upcoming book by Nadir Gulzar (published by McGraw-Hill/Osborne) has been posted. This chapter looks at the key benefits of Struts, and illustrates its configuration and usage semantics. It also explores the design patterns implemented by Struts, the semantics of the controller, and the associated helper components.
