Good information on JQuery. I have also used it on my home page veerasundar.com for some basic animations.

Re: My first impressions of Google Knol

Veera — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 01:56:53 -0000

I've used TeamWiki (a wiki based CMS) internally and I felt it is good. My opinion is also same as you that Wiki is enough for enterprises.

But, Knol may have an edge over wiki because of Google' search power!

Re: Tips for Software / Programming blogging

Veera — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 23:49:14 -0000

Very useful tips. Especially the 6th one. Initially I added my blog's entire feed to javablogs.com, but after reading your tip, I just modified my feed entry to include only the posts that are related to software developemt (I too use Wordpress!).

There is a local DVD store in my area, where they sell lots of good english DVDs. Also, sometimes I get it from my hometown (Aruppukottai, Tamilnadu) when I go there!

Hi Simon,

Thanks for such a wonderful link. It gave me a general idea about how a architect profile will look like.

Re: Is Firefox 3 a buggy browser?

Veera — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 23:30:41 -0000

Hi Anjan,

@load time : I never used to save any tabs before closing the Firefox. Every time, I usually open a blank page. But still, it is taking such a long time to load.

I thought that it may be because of plug-ins I am using with Firefox, so I disabled all the plug-ins. But, even after the load time is not decreasing!

@closing properly message: yes, you must be right. If it tried opening the Firefox, quickly after closing the previous instance, I am getting the error message. Otherwise, its working fine.

Re: Is Firefox 3 a buggy browser?

Veera — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 05:50:43 -0000

Chaitanya,

May be we have to wait for some more time, to get all older plug-ins ported to latest version of Firefox 3!

Hi Shubhashish,

I have also faced the proxy problem at my office system. Hope it will be rectified soon.

Re: Becoming a Java Architect!?

Thej, Harsha, Dhananhay and Thomas

Thanks a lot for your advice.

DKaz,

I am already working in a BIG company. So, I guess I am in a right track and don't worry, I am not that bad to work with! I am just a learner.

Mike,

I know my programming experience may be very little to talk about application architecture. And I am sure I am not going to architect applications from tomorrow itself. I just wanted to know about how other architects lead their way to success so asked about it. :)

Re: Becoming a Java Architect!?

Veera — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 10:07:14 -0000

Hi Scott, Armen, Steve and Soren

Thanks for sharing your views.

Steve,

I agree with you. I should have used the word software architect, instead of Java architect. But, as I am working in Java now, I prefer using the term 'Java Architect'. :)

Re: ArgoUML - a free Visio counterpart

Veera — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 22:57:40 -0000

Javi,

Thanks for the information. StarUML is also promising.

Pene,

I am sure that ArgoUML will grow big and wil include more features. :)

Rafael,

I also did not have any crash, since I started using FF3. But the main problem for me is the load time.

Re: Becoming a Java Architect!?

Veera — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 09:06:40 -0000

Hi Soren,

Currently I am in a plan to move towards the Technical architect skills, in which I am more interested. I am sure that the certification you had mentioned earlier in your comment will definitely help me in getting more architectural knowledge.

I have to work on it.

Re: How to create a horizontal navigation website using JQuery.

Veera — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 11:49:15 -0000

@Ronald

I agree. There are more room of improvement for this script and I am currently working on that. As you said, this kinda navigation is best suited for websites which have to get input from user in more than one page. Also for photo slide shows a horizontal navigation works well, I feel. Thanks for your comment.

@Begs

Thanks for the suggestion. Will fix it.

Re: Learning from JSR168 portlet development using JBoss portal platform

Veera — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 12:56:33 -0000

Hi Lalit,

Thanks for your comment.

I've developed the portlet using MyEclipse IDE, but didn't use any plug-ins for the development.

I don't know whether this will answer your question, but you may check this site for portlet development : JBoss Tools

Re: What I am missing in Google Chrome.

Veera — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 00:58:51 -0000

Yes Thej. Missing RSS support in Chrome is definitely holding back many bloggers from using Chrome.

Re: What I am missing in Google Chrome.

Veera — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 02:30:50 -0000

@Nel - Yeah.. From the time when I started using GMail, it's in beta. :P anyhow, GMail beta is in many ways better than other out-of-beta mail apps.

@Harsha - Hm... I'm also still using FF but only for web development. But for browsing I prefer Chrome than FF, because of Chrome's built-in Gears support. I feel sites are loading faster in Chrome. As of now, I am switching between two browsers everyday. :)

Thanks Chaitanya.

When I changed my Tamil Blog theme again and again, some of my readers complained (yes!) me to stop changing the theme. :)

But I like tweaking the themes (and messing up them!). I am sure I'll continue to do the same.

Hi Brian,

I think the second point you mentioned (PHP isn't taken seriously as an enterprise language.) is must be the reason for the low pay of PHP programmers.

Re: starUML and argoUML - compared

Veera — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:21:18 -0000

Hi penyaskito,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I appreciate that you pitch in to give your comments.

About the formatting options that I had mentioned in the Cons section of argoUML, I meant the visual formatting options like coloring, font style editing etc. This feature is not a high-priority one for a UML editor. But if it is there it will add more value to the UML designer.

I hope future versions argoUML also will be a success as of its predecessors.

I am eagerly waiting for the argoUML 0.28 version and will be glad to put up a review once it's alive.

Re: starUML and argoUML - compared

Veera — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:26:30 -0000

Hi Tahir,

starUML is available only for win32 platform. There is no Linux version available. So, this can be added to the negatives of starUML. :-))

Thankss for your comment.

Re: starUML and argoUML - compared

Veera — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 00:47:29 -0000

Hi Jan Choike,

starUML supports importing J2EE frameworks 1.3 and 1.4 standards. But Generics were introduced in the later Java frameworks. So, starUML may not support importing this new features.

We can expect these things are incorporated in the future versions of starUML.

Thanks for your comment, Jan.

Re: I am a Java developer. Should I know about DIV ?

Veera — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 03:48:26 -0000

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for adding few more tips. I've also seen the non-closing BR and HR tags in many HTML files. If the developers are using some IDE, then I think IDE will validate this kind of small mistakes.

Only point is, developers should not ignore IDE's HTML warnings. :))

Re: I am a Java developer. Should I know about DIV ?

Veera — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 03:48:54 -0000

I agree with your point, Raveman.

@Kodeninja

Thank you for your comment.

@ Kostas

Yes. Major Tom also has mentioned the point in the comments section that starUML is not a cross platform application. Here is where argoUML scores.

Re: Create Struts 2 - Hello World Application

Veera — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 08:59:16 -0000

Hi Atul,

The error you got is possibly because of (as the error message says) the web.xml may not be present in the WAR file that you had deployed. Can you please check your WAR file to see whether the web.xml present inside the WEB-INF folder?

Re: Development environment @ home

Hi Rob,

//An obvious Windows developer that thinks open source is only for amateurs.//

May be it is because of the mindset. But I think, in practical it is not. :-)

Re: Create Struts 2 - Hello World Application

Veera — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 10:06:38 -0000

Atul,

Open the Manager console in Apache Tomcat server and see the status of the struts application. If it is false, then the web application is not deployed correctly and some problem with the application WAR itself. If it is the error with any Java files, then the IDE would have shown at the compilation time itself, but if there is any error with web.xml or struts.xml, then IDE won't show any errors, but application won't be deployed in Tomcat. Please check if there is any syntax error with xml files.

Re: Pennies prevail over Prudence

Veera — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 09:02:53 -0000

:-(

It's a sad thing that Media is not realizing it's social responsibility. Also our people!

Yesterday twitter was full of #mumbai tweets about the latest move of NSG and Commandos. If terrorists were capable of tracking tweets or some third hand from outside could pass this sensitive information to the holed up terrorists, they could easily plan their attack.

People and Media should realize the sensitivity of the situation and they should stop spreading the sensitive info.
