Hello everyone, Did you know the West Midlands is the home of Shakespeare, the steam engine, J.R.R. Tolkien and the Spaghetti Junction? It is now also home to the Python West Midlands User Group. Only three days old, we already have two dozen members. The Python West Midlands User Group aims to provide community and discussion for Python users and to new-users who want to find out more about the language. Without further ado: You can find the website here: http://pywm.eu And the mailing list here: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/pywm Best Wishes, Zeth

Without all the parts, there isn't a Swiss watchto admire.

Zaninotto outlined four main drivers that added complexity to amanufacturing or software development effort. True long-term simplicity requires planning, planning requiresreviews, and reviews require documentation because feedback from code comestoo late. In general we keep the build serversin the same site as the majority of developers, but remote sites canfind it takes an annoyingly long time to get a fresh update from themainline. I don't knowif Rubyists will agree. Lessons LearnedUse Continuous Integration to Avoid IntegrationHeadachesI've heard several stories about problems with integratingthe work across multi-site teams. The mechanism that stand-ups use for communicating thestatus is a differentiator. Whenthings are going right, there isn't much direction or facilitationrequired for the stand-up. The biggest difficulty with flexible systems like the Toyota system isthat they may not converge. One of the quotes that I find particularly appealing when Ithink about the need for patterns that that part of interest inpatterns came from ". I use thempublicly because I believe that the tools thathelp me can be useful to others too. Thedifferent examples of the same pattern can help illustrate commonthreads. Itprovides an easy way to catch up on what's going on at the other endof the world. If the interferenceis severe enough, the team members may not bother using the stand-upto communicate project issues and either create an alternate mediumor not communicate at all. , personal issues, productionsupport problem, etc. Evans embeds the patterns into the flow ofa general narrative book. The weakness of use cases in planning is that they don'tgive you clear units to tick off so you can assess progress andproject consequences of choices into the future. Despite my liking for patterns, I don't think that patterns arethe right approach for all situations. Good development practices are vital to fulfilling thepromise of agile development. Patterns should have recurrence, which means the solution mustbe applicable in lots of different situations. Gifts, particularly those that help spread culture, arealways worth bringing. The solution provides a useful focus for the chunking. I prefer to err on the side of being too simple. Same Place, Same TimeWe want the team to have a sense of ownership of the stand-up. In Extreme Programming Explained Kent saysthat practices are "the kind of things you'll see XP teams doing day-to-day".

You can't do that on a lot of native toolkits. Hickey: As an engineer, I'd love to be able to clean up old and unused parts of the Swing toolkit and the Java programming language without having to worry about backward compatibility. Token Based RestrictionThe XmlHttpProxy and the XmlHttpProxyServlet which provides web applications access to the proxy were updated to restrict access based on tokens. The Java Enterprise Performance team measured the performance of local and remote interfaces using a simple test case and with both the client and application server on the same machine.

The current look and feel uses bold fonts, something toolkits tend not to do any more. The Java BluePrints is helping to determine theprogramming model for AJAX and Java EE. In essence if you call this from your JavaScript code you will need a global function showResults that takes a single argument. WSTestis a client-server microbenchmark developed at Sun Microsystems tomeasure the performance of the Java technology web services stack. Jim: What license are you planning to use? How long is your text string? Each service has unique requirements so pick the one that best meets your portal deployment needs. Many programmers use a Stringobject's length method to get that information. In addition, this IDE provides a seamless path for students to switch from educational tools into a full-featured, professional IDE. I've been catching up on all the great reengineering suggestions in the queue. Did that inform or influence you as a developer? You can write a slow application in just about any toolkit. If you have fewer classes and more XML, you may find that deployment time is slightly faster. You will still need to write this type of code by hand, but the IDE makes the writing go faster. We're fortunate to be able to draw on the experience of our colleagues who have been involved with these, and other projects, that Sun has opened to their respective communities.

James Gosling told me that he included assertions in an early version of the language, but the rest of the team had him delete them because of performance concerns. I realized there was a simpler way to do this by using the built in functionalities of the servlet API using the HttpSession API. You can used the same technique to provide fine grained access to your services and track who uses your services. For this reason, the JAX-WS stack is referred to as an integrated stack.

JSC: What are the keys to well-crafted code? Comparisons of String literals and constants withthe same char values will always be equal. Each technique discussed in this blog has its' benefits and pain points. As the performance of JAXB and StAX improves, so does the performance of the JAX-WS stack. In the second case, dynamic lookups were use More importantly the callback parameteris set to the name of the method you want called. The user's personal preferences are stored in a collection attribute, mashupUrls, in the portlet preferences that are defined in the portlet. Note: Several of the figures abbreviate the word transactions as tx or txn. URL Based Restriction - Based on the URL in which the JavaScript is executed you can restrict access to a service. There's a big difference between making it work really quickly for me and actually designing it flexibly. Consider your clients and motivations before using these techniques. xml file, as follows. The form is submitted asynchronously using Dojo, through Shale Remoting, and it is consumed by the FileUploadHandler. Creating a Mashup PortletThis section shows you how to create a sample portlet, named MashupMapPortlet, that overlays geospatial information from data sources on an AJAX-enabled map.

Developer at all levels required - South East UK
by Rakesh Thakrar Dec. 7, 2006

Dec. 7, 2006

We are currently seeking a number of Software Engineer from graduates to senior developers to work in a team of highly able programmers, using technologies such as Python and Linux, and modern Agile development processes encompassing pair programming, unit tests, and working with stories. To qualify we expect all members of the software team to have the following:- A keen analytical mind, with a sound ability to judge when to focus on the details and when to think laterally. Good interpersonal skills. This means being able to work continuously with other developers and talk sensibly with non-technical staff. A strong desire to do things right, and not just to get it done. Obviously this needs to be tempered by the need to accept the compromises such as time-constraints that exist within a business. Exposure to Linux/UNIX and other OS's, since people who've only worked in one environment tend to have fixed, unrealistic ideas. Exposure to object oriented programming in more than one language. So long as there is some breadth, previous experience of Python is almost irrelevant (although a desire to program in Python is essential). Ideally, graduates must be able to demonstrate an interest in Open Source technologies. ___________________ Rakesh Thakrar Manager Microcom Recruitment Division 2 Adelaide Street St. Albans Herts, AL3 5BH Tel: 01727 752000 Mob: 079 7094 3227 Fax: 01727 752018 www.microcom-recruitment.com Permanent and Contract IT Recruitment Specialists ____________________________________ ************************************************************ The views expressed in this e-mail are not necessarily the views of European Recruitment Network Ltd, its directors, officers or employees make no representation or accept any liability for its accuracy or completeness unless expressly stated to the contrary.
