Re: How to NOT store user credentials in a database

Thanks for this great article. Indeed it is a common problem and it happens not only in .NET (also in Rails, JPA and generally anywhere you use ORM). I would like to add that adding salt does not solve the problem - you should also use other hashing function instead of SHA (because it is too fast :)).

Re: The 7 ground rules of communication to became a good Manager

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on communication! I especially liked the result-oriented approach. The topic of this post could also be "the 7 ground rules of communication in team" as the rules fit for all team members :).

Nice article. I agree with you that RedMonk ranking is crappy. They shouldn't mix language popularity with number of questions about doing things in a particular technology. To me the most noteworthy are job-based ranks, because they simply show whether you will make a living :). I'm on your side in terms of rich language features of C#, however it lacks the stability and reliability that Java provides. I left the .NET camp soon after Microsoft dumped Silverlight :|.

You caught my attention. Twitter Bootstrap looks great. Must try it out. Thanks!

I thought this would be another rant about .NET superiority, but it turned out very suprising.
I must admit that reading the story was very enjoyable :). Thanks!

Re: Why I will use Java EE instead of Spring in new Enterprise Java Projects in 2012

MateuszBukowicz — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 06:10:51 -0000

Nice article. I sometimes hear people saying that there are no more projects starting with JEE anymore. I think this is a common misconception caused by J2EE (1.4), like you mentioned in the beginning.

Re: 10 aggressively used jQuery Infinite Scroll Plugins for endless paging

MateuszBukowicz — Tue, 29 May 2012 02:45:49 -0000

This post could have been much better, if you actually tried using all of the mentioned plugins and compared them. I think anyone can find this information by just searching "jquery infinity scroll" in Google. Don't feel offended, but this post does not bring much value.

Re: 5 Differences Between C# and Java: Methods

MateuszBukowicz — Thu, 31 May 2012 08:43:57 -0000

I agree. I think C# is in many ways superior to Java, but not necessarily in the ways that was showed. Secondly, it looks that things will change from Java 8 and then it will be more reasonable to do a comparison.

Re: 5 Differences Between C# and Java: Data Types

MateuszBukowicz — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 01:58:29 -0000

I suppose this was thought to be a post proving that C# is a superior languange compared to Java. Despite I believe this is true (C# is indeed a better language), I think the features showed have little practical use. If I had to choose from the examples I would choose the lack of unsigned byte in Java as the most important feature Java does not support. On the other hand Java has also some nice features that C# has not, i.e. enums that are classes (not dummy integers) as in C#, which here was not mentioned.

Re: Hibernate Smoke Detector

MateuszBukowicz — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 04:35:26 -0000

Great job. However, getting the source, building it and executing manually is a little bit troublesome (I know, I am being lazy here ;)). I think it would be more convenient, if the tool was in a form of a plugin to Maven/Eclipse/etc.

I was thinking of something like Spring Insight, but not dependant on Spring.

Nice list of factors that make the code good. You can never read enough about code quality. It should be revised periodically, so you are sure it's still in your brain cache :).
