Thank you to everyone that came to the talk. There were definitely some good question and comments which kept a potentially boring subject lively. Here is the...
That's cool! The scripting thing is very interesting. Code example 9 on this page: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/scripting/ Is...
That is a tough one. I suppose most people would say web services is the biggest addition, but given this was already available in JavaEE, its not that...
It looks like some good stuff. It seems like the docs aren't quite ready, tho. I just read a bunch of Sun's articles on that page, but they're all about the...
Hi Thomas, ... Indeed it is. Many of us have been pushing hard for this, and its nice to see Sun recognize the importance of supporting scripting in the core ...
I read code example 10 on this page, http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/scripting/ and that answered my concern! :) /Thomas ... I...
Ah. I suppose for this example it would be nice to have literal strings (triple quotes in python or @"" in C#). In my experience most of these scripts are...

Yes, Seth has hinted me about the "auto-test" suite, which is to test what fastcgi is to cgis. But it's still kinda sucky it's that slow. Feels like I'm back...
Hi David, Good call. I'd try out autotest. It runs continually and monitors for changes files. If it notices them, it will rerun that test. Should avoid ...
Aloha, This is a ping to see if there'd be enough people interested in a Coders meeting next Wednesday, Feb 7th. We have some really interesting topics on...
I'd like to see this, even though I'm not using Rails. I work at UH and would be happy to try to arrange for the room. I might go downtown too, if the...
Aloha, The meeting for Wednesday is confirmed. 6:15pm at the Camber Offices, Downtown. Suite 1410 900 Fort St Mall Parking is street parking if you are lucky,...
Hi Seth, I'm not sure if I can make it or not. I didn't notice the venue change before, getting to downtown and back in that time frame may be difficult for...
Oh, yeah, definitely. :-) ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo! Mail Q&A...
Aloha, The meeting on Wednesday Feb 7th at Camber offices is still ON. Update: Parking in the building opens at 5pm. I had mistakenly mentioned that parking...
