Philly ETE 2017 #27 – FOSS is in Jeopardy – Jamie Allen

|

With the creation of the Scala Center, Scala has achieved a level of open source collaboration that is heretofore unseen, where the worlds of government, academia, corporate enterprise and community are now actively engaging in a positive way to move the language forward in multiple dimensions.

We know this because this problem remains challenging despite 40 years of attempts to solve it. All we want is a service that will be reliable, handle all kinds of data and integrate with all kinds of systems, especially with stream processing applications. A service that is easy to manage and…

Philly ETE 2017 #24 – Java Puzzlers Next Generation: Down the Rabbit Hole – Viktor Gamov

|

The more we work with Java 8, the more we go into the rabbit hole. Did they add all those streams, lambdas, monads, Optionals and CompletableFutures only to confuse us? It surely looks so! And Java 9 that heads our way brings even more of what we like the most, more puzzlers, of course! In this season we as usual have a great batch of the best Java WTF, great jokes to present them and great prizes for the winners!…

|

It may be 2017, but it hasn’t become any easier to choose the right JavaScript framework for your project or organization. Although there are a few nascent contenders like Vue.js and Cycle.js, the “framework wars” of 2017 mainly pit Facebook’s juggernaut React against Google’s powerhouse Angular, which faced controversy after a decision to completely rewrite the framework after version 1. But at NPR, we decided to take a chance on Angular. On March 31st, 2016, we launched a production webapp…

Philly ETE 2017 #20 – Perfections and the Business Cycle – David A. Black

|

Poet and critic Paul Valéry got to the heart of the relationship between art and business when he wrote, in 1922, “[For lovers of perfection], a work is never finished…but abandoned,” the act of abandonment being “the result of weariness or an obligation to deliver.” We software developers are, in the main, lovers of perfection–and we are subject to both weariness and pressure to deliver, forces that militate against at least some of our aspirations to perfection in our work….
