Not like the spitting up green pea soup exorcism but
Exercism.io, one of many great resources for
learning programming languages by solving actual problems. Similar to
Ruby Koans, you are given a programming problem
to solve and a set of unit tests. Your challenge is to make all the
tests pass by writing code (ala
TDD). As you
write your code and run your tests you may be given hints leading
towards a solution or you may have to just figure it out on your own.
Once all your tests are passing, you publish your code to the Exercism
site where others can review and you can see other people's solutions
for the same problems. I've learned more by reviewing other people's
code than all the books and blog posts I've read.
The latest Java
update
from Apple broke JMeter... not sure why but JMeter needs Java 1.5. Add
this line near the top of your jakarta-jmeter-2.X.X/bin/jmeter file
using your handy dandy text editor. I like
TextWrangler.
| Test Early » Hudson - Tips and
Tricks
| Hudson is an open source CI server that is by far the easiest one to
configure. Second to ease of use is Hudson’s impressive plug-in
framework, which makes it easy to add features. For instance, Hudson
has a plug-in for tracking FindBugs issues, PMD issues, and CheckStyle
issues over time as well as code coverage. It also trends test results
from JUnit, as well as build results and corresponding execution
times. In spite of all these cool features, we had to find ways to get
around some common issues we faced at work using Hudson.
| Zero to Continuous Integration with Windmill | Adam
Christian
| Following ‘automation’ and ‘continuous integration’ in the micro
blogging world I have seen a major influx in people being super
interested in functionally automating their web apps. I have seen a
slew of things about Grid, and Selenium, and people hacking on Watir
so I decided to show you from the ground up how incredibly easy it is
to get automated test running setup using Windmill and Hudson. I am
not going to walk you through every detail, this is much more high
level but I do plan to start a ‘continuous integration’ page on
getwindmill.com in the near future for those kinds of details.
| Google Web Toolkit - Google Code
| Google Web Toolkit (GWT) makes it easier to write high-performance
AJAX applications. You write your front end in the Java programming
language and GWT compiles your source into highly optimized
JavaScript. Writing web apps today is a tedious and error-prone
process. You spend 90% of your time working around browser quirks, and
JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing
AJAX components difficult and fragile. It doesn't have to be that
way.

Those "words" are actually sound reflexes, Priscilla says. "Babies
all around the world have the same reflexes, and they therefore make the
same sounds," she says. If parents dont respond to those reflexes,
Priscilla says the baby will eventually stop using them.
Homemade Dot-Mac with OS Xby Alan Graham08/09/2002 So, still fuming
about the .Mac annual fee? The question of whether .Mac is worth $100
is a personal matter, but one of the greatest ironies of this situation
is that Mac OS X is packed full of features that make many aspects of
.Mac unnecessary.
