Bruce Eckel is the author of Thinking in Java (download) and Thinking in C++ (download 1/download 2) before that. This article gives some background on the possible evolution of checked exceptions in Java and questions their necessity/usefulness. I particularly like the ExceptionAdapter that Bruce and Heinz Kabutz (which reminds me that I need to re-subscribe to The Java Specialists' Newsletter) put together to standardize the use of RunTimeException to bypass exception checking while preserving the original exception type, as well as the comment from one of the C# language designers regarding the utility of exception specifications in large vs. small projects. I think it is dead-on in noting the attractiveness of checked exceptions in small examples vs. their many drawbacks when developing in the large. comment [] trackback [] 2:46:42 PM

(and you might not if you read this blog primarily via RSS, as I do many of the blogs I read) I've installed and enabled activeRenderer on my blog. It was extraordinarily simple--save for the time I didn't wait for the changes to upstream. Be patient. In my experience, it takes some time for the new content, graphics, JavaScript, CSS, etc. to make it into the cloud. Other than that, the process it almost startlingly easy. comment [] trackback [] 1:57:57 PM

I actually ran across Arthur van Hoff's Java implementation of Rendezvous/ZeroConf a while back and had meant to post it. I was looking for a Lisp implementation (Unlikely, I know, but I'm lazy, and it is always good to look first.) recently and ran across this post to Apple's Rendezvous mailing list.
I'd like to integrate it with Tomcat, so that any servers I start will be discoverable via Safari. I'm sure there are many other useful embeddings, and I hope it will catch on.
P.S. Anyone know what his new company, Strangeberry, is up to? Certainly a strong team. Who knew you could still have positions like Chief Smartberry after the bubble? |
