Blogger Gustavo Duarte cursed in church when he said that learning new programming languages is often a waste of time. He initially called his post, “New Languages Considered Harmful”, a wordplay on Dijksta’s classic paper on gotos, but after the reactions he got, he toned it down a bit and it’s now called *”Language Dabbling Considered Wasteful”.

In a week that now seems to have raced by in a blur, the main hall at the Moscone Center was packed to capacity as you would expect when James Gosling is delivering the keynote. The session began with quite a touching tribute to John Gage who has been MC-ing a lot of the general sessions this week, the group of four who invented Java acknowledged Gage as their equivalent of ‘the fifth beatle’ for all of his efforts in promoting and marketing Java and helping it gain traction in the early years.

We all know that Quicksort is one of the fastest algorithms for sorting. It's not often, however, that we get a chance to see exactly how fast Quicksort really is. The following applets chart the progress of several common sorting algorithms while sorting an array of data using in-place algorithms. The result is a very cool visual demo of different sorting algorithm speeds. Source code is included.

On April 18, 2008, Adobe released its Flex SDK coding conventions and best practices. Adobe's Flex Team explained that the new conventions, “. . . lay out the coding standards for writing open-source Flex framework components in ActionScript 3 (AS3). Adhering to these standards makes the source code look consistent, well-organized, and professional.”

This week Hudson was awarded the Duke’s Choice Award in the Developer Solutions category at JavaOne. In the space of a couple of years, Hudson has come from nowhere to become the leading contender among Continuous Integration servers. It’s head and shoulders above the other free alternatives, and arguably at least as good as the commercial offerings.

...the Livescribe Smartpen, which comes with a Java-based development kit. The pen is cool: it's a pen with ink, but it also has a tiny camera in the pen-tip that is watching what you write, 72 times a second. It records all of your writing strokes, and also has a microphone built into it so it can record what you hear, too. It's great for taking notes, in ways that is much easier to understand when you try it yourself. But I'll try to explain just part of it here.

Charles Nutter, a Sun engineer who has worked on the JRuby project, commented on PHP in a panel discussion at Sun's CommunityOne conference. I will not join the "PHP vs. Ruby on Rails" "discussion" here, as the comparison of a programming language to a web application framework for another language does not make sense, IMHO. Instead, I would like to comment on two of Charles Nutter's points.

Over the last few months, I’ve been trying to take out time to learn more about Scala – finding documentation and tutorials is hard ( specially if like me, you’ve 15 minutes a day to bite through your lunch when reading ). Wouldn’t a “Thinking in Scala” be nice?

From the category “Bending Java near it’s Breaking Point” or “What a stupid but interesting idea”. I like to explore ideas in Java that are inside the language spec but outside of common usage or style guides. I think Java has a lot more to give than what people did the last ten years. Before dumping Java perhaps we should reconsider some of the “common wisdoms” about how to do things in Java.

As organizations continue to grow their IT investments (bought, borrowed, or built) and concepts like Business Process Management (BPM) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) become more common, the role of Enterprise Architecture (EA) has become more common. Recently, David Linthicum, Mike Kavis, and Alan Inglis each talked about what they see with respect to EA in the industry.
