A series about how to develop a business component architecture with Spring - part three is about properties.

In this tutorial series, you’ll learn how to create your own version of the classic Rapid Roll game. Read on!

Recently I’ve been working with both the HTML 5 File API and Socket.IO and it occured to me that those technologies could be used to send, and push, files between the client and server. Immediately I set about making delivery.js, a simple node module that makes it extremely easy to send and push files between the client and the server via Socket.IO.

So we’ve looked at the Template Method Pattern with an implementation as really simple example, and another real world implementation. We have additional requirements however. We also need to transform the template so that placeholders will contain the proper text, and have the value of the placeholders customized to our customers. Let’s first look again at the executing code, so we get an idea of what API we want.

PAMI is a PHP 5.3 client for AMI: Asterisk Manager Interface. Asterisk is one of the hot topics in the IT world due to its broad acceptance and use case scenarios. PAMI will let you use the AMI interface to control and monitor your asterisk box(es) in a pretty easy way. Also, it supports Asynchronous AGI, so its even suitable to create a complete IVR solution.

PAGI is a PHP 5.3 client for AGI: Asterisk Gateway Interface. AGI is a very simple protocol, and it has been implemented in a wide variety of languages, allowing to quickly create telephony applications, like IVR's, voicemails, prepaid telephony systems, etc. If you want or need to create this kind of telephony applications using PHP, you will find PAGI very useful.

In this article, we will review the process of using JavaScript, from an MVC-based perspective, to manipulate the DOM. More specifically, we’ll engineer our JavaScript objects, their properties and methods, and their instantiations parallel to the intended behavior of our Views (what the user sees).

As JavaScript applications become larger and larger, we have to think about the download size, memory usage and other performance constraints for our end users. There are a number of aspects to consider, one of which is how to deliver the HTML templates that your application is using, to the user’s browser, so that your application can render the templates.

Are you fascinated by dynamic data? Do you go green with envy when you see tweets pulled magically into websites? Trust me, I’ve been there.

Cloudshift is a Node.js web application framework coded in haXe, an open-source multi-platform programming language. Being a multi-platform language, haXe targets other platforms, like JavaScript, Flash, NekoVM, PHP, C++, C# and Java etc.

Over the past months I’ve talked to several companies that run a symfony 1 codebase, sometimes as old as symfony 1.0, which is big, very big. Often these applications or websites are at the heart of their business. Yet, Symfony2 is stable now, and symfony 1 support is going to stop at some point. Regularly, they ask me for advice on migrating their legacy codebase to a brand new Symfony2 project.

So which is better, Tegra or OMAP? NVidia will say Tegra of course and TI will say OMAP. Would that mean we should go by the benchmarks? Or may be sheer specifications of both the SoC? Doesn’t OMAP’s memory bandwidth is more than Tegra 3 and Snapdragon? But Tegra 3 is Quad Core, and even GPU is updated? Then why iPad 2 beats Tegra 3 by miles on GLBenchmark? We had a lot of similar questions while we wanted to opt for one. If you followed Kernel developments you’d know that OMAP was definitely the next SoC supported by Google, so this decision had to be made on our end and fast.

Michael Snoyman presents Yesod, a web framework written in Haskell and containing a web server, templating, ORM, libraries (templating, gravatar, etc.).

JSR 356 has been filed by Oracle : "Java API for WebSocket". The spec lead is Danny Coward and this JSR is scheduled for inclusion in Java EE 7

Java EE6 focused on developer productivity and includes numerous enhancements that are true game-changers. See what's new. In this session Pete and Dan will walk you through the key improvements, including those to EJB, Servlets, easy archive creation, Bean Validation (based on Hibernate Validator), JPA 2.0 criteria queries (thank you Hibernate) and the standardization of dependency injection (JSR 299 CDI). Through the use of a publicly available sample application, Pete and Dan will show you exactly how you can use these new features and hope to have a major impact on your daily life as an enterprise developer.

Learn how and when to use the contexts and dependency injection model in Java EE 6. Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 5 brought dependency injection (DI) with Convention over Configuration to Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.0. Java EE 6 introduces the flexible and powerful @Inject dependency injection model (JSR-330 and JSR-299) in addition to the already existing @EJB annotation. So when should you use what?

In this tutorial series, we will develop a native Android application where the user interface is implemented using the jQuery Mobile framework. For this purpose, we will introduce a model for representing UI screens in a native Android application using jQuery Mobile page elements, in particular, container and content pages. Although the tutorial code is developed for contacts management, the basic concepts of the model are generic and can be applied to applications where the UI is suitable for constructing via HTML and JavaScript.

Have you ever wondered what to do when needing “just a small change” to a third-part library your project depended on? This post describes how to use Maven and Javassist to take a dependency of your project, instrument it to modify its behavior, re-pack it, and release it as an artifact with a different name (so that you me depend on my-customized-lib instead of on lib).

To date, putting the Equinox p2 provisioning support into an RCP application has been a bit of a chore. Witness the plethora of blog and mailing list posts detailing problems and how to hack the p2 features and bundles to make them work in RCP scenarios. No more!

Many UI components are available in the jQuery Mobile framework. This article provides a high-level overview of each element and how you can use it in a mobile website. It touches on specific UI components, explains the reasons to use them, and provides code examples of their use in a mobile website.

I’ve been working, during the past few months, on Firefox startup performance, with a particular focus on I/O, even more particularly focusing on the core library: libxul. As I’ve been saying all along, my current work is focused on GNU/Linux systems, though some of it has a direct impact on OSX, and similar work is most probably applicable on Windows.

This JSR will define a standard API for creating WebSocket applications. There is a wide range of web applications that rely on timely updates from a central server like stock tickers, live maps, chat applications, collaborative online tools and multiplayer web-based games. WebSocket offers solution to the problems of latency, scalability and performance associated with HTTP based solutions like polling, long-polling and HTTP-streaming. There is a lot of interest in the Java developer community in creating web applications for the Java platform that utilize WebSocket. Given that the definition of WebSocket protocol is a proposed standard, and that the major web browsers either support, or plan to support it in their next major release, the time is right for a standard Java API for WebSocket.
