One of the most important challenges to face first is leveraging developers’ time for maximum efficiency. At qKAI this is especially due to students, writing their theses, contribute to the code base. Therefore we have established several tools to spare them redundant work, maintain a constant code quality and automate the build.
This time I will write about Maven, Read more »
Today I’ve launched Visual Studio 9 2008 and compiled Sphinx, the full-text indexer, as storage engine into MySQL. I’ve limited my effords to the latest 64bit Windows version, because compiling under Linux is with GCC rather trivial.
MySQL 5.1 with SphinxSE for 64bit Windows can be downloaded here.
Just replace your original MySQL files by these from the zipfile.
With Java one can easily decorate InputStreams with filter, buffer, decrypters and decompressors. For the latter, it already ships with decorators for ZIP, GZip and even Deflater. But I needed bzip2 for which libraries seem not to cover. (BTW, pbzip2 is an parallel implementation of it which you should use as replacement in multicore environments.)
Except for some implementation in Read more »
Once gone programming in Python, perhaps with the impressive TurboGears or Django, developing RESTful web applications with Java might seem like cleaning the bath with a toothbrush at first. It is the switch from a higher language to one a bit less, well, ‘high’. For small projects it might be definitely overkill.
Even Google and NASA (see video with comparison) prefer Python. Why would you want to switch?
In case you must, I’ve collected some equivalencies for you as kickstart. Read more »
