I am a part of the proud generation who grew up watching legendary players in the names of Vivian, Lara, Ambrose, Gowri, Kandee, Warne, Ponting, Saurav, Dravid, Imran, Wasim, Miandand and Kallis.

Recently I had a chance to play around with JMockit. We need to introduce a mocking framework which could support legacy code seamlessly and JMockit pretty much does as it claims. It wasn’t a straightforward experience though. Since the code I was testing against has a tightly coupled servlet and backend legacy APIs as well as Java’s own system/lang ...
I was rushing, really rushing. I had to buy a birthday card and go to the party which I was already late to. I was walking past all the shops and leading to the cards store. Then all of a sudden something stroked. I stopped, backtracked and hopped into the shop. There was this "New Releases" section and I found ...
"Lee Kuan Yew made Singapore a paragon of development; but authoritarians draw the wrong lessons from his success." -- Economist.One can't explain his legacy any better than that. That's his bless and curse. He was a visionary and he would have made himself one of the greatest CEOs had he been in the industry.Instead he ran a country, like a ...

Some ten years ago, TCPMon was the only savior to test SOAP request/response easily.

"To Kill a Mocking Bird" by Harper Lee, is one of the fine prints of English literature and arguably one of the top five novels of the 20th century in any language. As I was reading this book last year, it was palpable that most of the contemporary writers of this era couldn't get away from Harper's legacy, let it ...
Time 1:45 PMToday morning, I was hit with an irritating UI issue. I was working on a JSP with combinations of div elements with rich use of jquery. Upon different combinations we may need to show and hind the div elements accordingly. There goes a problem enabling the focus on the logical input element.So I was reusing a simple window.onload ...

Time : 12:25 PMFew years back, in one of our company meetings, we talked about using an issue tracking system closely associated with both project management and the development. By then we were using bugzilla together with xplanner. It turned out to be pretty inefficient . We used bugzilla for post release issues and sustaining management. Dodgy xplanner was only ...

Recently, I had a chance to talk to Mr Richard Kannard, founder of metawidget tool. Metawidget is a simple inspection tool which takes the metadata(primarily annotations based, but xml metadata supported too) of your domain objects and create UI components from it. This is something similar to Beanview, but metawidget comes up with a support of existing standard APIs’ ...
