Every JAVA Guy must read this !!!

One of my favourite and interesting book on JAVA is “Effective Java Programming Guide” by Joshua Bloch. I am inspired with this book and felt to post about the book in my blogging for those who are not aware of it.

There are interesting good practices which helps any category of java developer right from beginner to master.

Being a technical guy in IT, whenever we analyze any concept or programming skills we must know the base thumb rule for it. There are nearly fifty seven valuable rule of thumb featured in this book.

Offering comprehensive descriptions of techniques used by the experts who developed the Java platform, the book reveals what to do–and what not to do–in order to produce clear, robust, and efficient code.

One my favourite in the long JAVA journey :-)

Replace your Silverstream with JBOSS

Do you know you can replace your silverstream server with effective JBoss???

Yes, it is…

We as a team working for the complete elimination of silverstream with the help of JBoss Application Server. That is, the product we have today is tightly coupled with Silverstream Server. It’s been long time the team worked on understanding the facts of siverstream and try creating emulations using JBoss.

Atlast, we succeeded and implemented successfully the JBoss and replacing the old silverstream. Our project recovered from silverstream, optimized, ready for future compatiblity today :-)

Though we replace the server part of Silverstream, we still not completely remove Silverstream with the client side. We are working on it…

It’s really good experience to work migration projects like this :-)

Know about Silverstream

Friends, I am working on interesting project under Retail Domain now.

The interesting factor is, i am working on the very old product called “SilverStream”. Its nearly 10 years and above old product. I am wondering to see the best way of handling Java Swing components in silverstream those days itself and surprising myself how its vanishing slowly in the market since they are the one who published Application Servers to the market those days.

Silverstream products are Silverstream Application Server and Silverstream Designer. The Designer is useful for developing swing based applications on the fly (similar to visual basic forms). Like visual basic data control, it provides control called ‘AgcData’ to manipulate with database (tables, views). And also Silverstream Designer is coupled with VSS for source code control. For client/server development those days, alternate to visual basic is Silverstream (proprietory).

Its really interesting to work with silverstream products but comparing to today’s world its not comparable to any :)

But Java Swing developers enjoy working with silverstream designer since it provides the easy GUI development (like how we have ‘Matisse’ today in NetBeans)
