I am a Software Architect who has been developing software for business use for over 14 years. I serve as a Solutions Architect for a Fortune 200 company on a permanent basis.
I have been persuing Java since the v0.9 whitepaper was released initially describing it over a decade ago. While it's not the sexiest language out there - the concept of Write Once, Run Everywhere still very much is - IMHO.. I've been using this site since it's inception - I like it a lot better than JavaRanch in terms of the sense of community - I think I just like the people here better. There's no shortage of expertise. I've been known to use the following catch-phrases llike mantras when working to solve problems:
Links: And now for some quotes: "The well-meaning contention that all ideas have equal merit seems to me little different from the disastrous contention that no ideas have any merit." – Carl Sagan"All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others." - Douglas Adams "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" - Albert Einstein "The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane." - Nikola Tesla "The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown. " - Carl Sagan "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Robert Heinlein There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences. – P.J. O'Rourke (1993) "I know you won't believe me, but the highest form of Human Excellence is to question oneself and others." - Socrates I have been known to occasionally do naughty things... So - in lieu of a Scratchpad, I'll just post this code snippet here. It's a fun(?) way to have ant totally hose your build server. It's not to be run as much as used as an example of how even an ant script can behave like a recursive virus: 1: 2: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 3: <project name="FunWithAnt" default="subroutine" basedir="."> 4: <description> 5: Experiments in (ab)using ant: 6: This one copies and calls itself recursively until 7: you run out of storage space 8: </description> 9: <target name="init"> 10: <mkdir dir="build"/> 11: </target> 12: <target name="main" depends="init" 13: description="generate the distribution" > 14: <copy file="./build.xml" tofile="./build/build.xml"/> 15: 16: </target> 17: <target name="subroutine" depends="main" 18: description="launch the build file just created"> 19: <ant antfile="build.xml" dir="./build" /> 20: </target> 21: </project> Java Geek Code: 1: -----BEGIN JAVA GEEK CODE BLOCK----- 2: Version: 0.01b 3: J+++>++++$$ Fws*++$$>+++ Epvbdemn*+++$$>++++ Cg++$$>+++ 4: j++$$>+++ Ilc*++$$>+++ Ahity*+++$$>++++ X*+++$$ 5: U+++$$>+++++ V*++$$>+++ 6: ------END JAVA GEEK CODE BLOCK------ |
