Yes, I’ve heard the buzz around RIA and Flex before but I didn’t have the time to play around with the application until now. I originally thought that it was somehow expensive to develop applications using Flex, but [...]

April 1st, 2008 · 5 Comments · Java, Programming
While trying to create a simple prototype for an application which uses JSF, EJB 3 and JPA, I decided to implement the suggestions from the article: Using an EJB Session Bean as a Model Facade.

March 28th, 2008 · No Comments · Java

March 19th, 2008 · 1 Comment · C#, Java
This is my first installment of a new blog series I’m planning to call Java vs C#. Today, I’ll be discussing the behavior of “switch” statements in both Java and C#. Consider this snippet for Java which prints out the values “1″, “2″ and “Default” when value = 1. Since I did not add “break” [...]

March 7th, 2008 · 7 Comments · Programming
Did you know that you cannot download a JDK or JRE for Mac from Sun’s website? Well I didn’t. This is because “Mac OS X is the only major consumer operating system that comes complete with a fully configured and ready-to-use Java runtime and development environment”. Taken from: http://developer.apple.com/java/. To download/update Java for different versions [...]

Fibonacci
February 5th, 2008 · No Comments · Books, Programming
If you were given a task to compute the nth Fibonacci number, how would you do it? You would go straight away and write a recursive function right? public static int getNumberRecurse(int n) { if (n == 0 | n == 1) { return 1; } else { return getNumberRecurse(n – 1) + getNumberRecurse(n – [...]
