Actually, I think the book would go perfect with some Zubaz pants and a gallon of milk.

Worth sticking around for the end (takes forever though).

Re: cwinters.com | Java validation framework in JavaScript?

Interesting, I look forward to see what you come up with.

I too resisted relying too much on JavaScript since the Defense contracts I worked on for years had heavy requirements for backward / degradable compatibility. However, whenever I've used frameworks in the past that handle both Server and Client side validation, I've always found one or the other to be lacking, so I've become a bit skeptical. It's a good Holy Grail, but IME validation is still a PITA to nail down correctly.

If you're using Spring, you can wire your validation in using DWR (Direct Web Remoting). Appfuse-light uses this approach ( https://appfuse-light.dev.java.net ), as does the far more obscure IWebMvc ( http://code.google.com/p/internna/ ).

Spring and DWR:

* http://www.codercorp.com/blog/spring/ajax-based...
* http://internna.blogspot.com/2007/03/generic-va...

I need to figure this out myself. I have two projects where we're using the simpler MVCJ (Jersey) as the main framework and I'm going to have to wire in some validation to our forms soon.

An emerging option might be to wire in JSR 303 Bean Validation (nee Hibernate Validation). There's apparently a JSF extension that wires in the view layer if you're in JSF-land, but I'm personally not interested in that. ( http://www.scribd.com/doc/7283078/Hibernate-Val... )

Ping me if you come up with something else interesting.

Great post. I too have been keeping an eye on JAX-RS, but haven't tried to incorporate in any projects yet. Now, I'm definitely going to now.

Cheers,

You could always take the original S3 hosted feed and then feedburn it or something like that to minimize costs.

Re: Ten Questions About Entrepreneurs

I think @wisaac states it best. Entrepreneurship give us the opportunity to find the greatest personal fulfillment possible (through work). However, if you get bogged down in stuff that's not part of your craft (accounting, taxes anyone) it can be hell.

Great idea.

Re: Are you using Firefox 3? (Scripting News)

dshaw — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:35:51 -0000

I've been running FF3 for several weeks, since Beta 2 and like it. It doesn't seem much different than FF2 for now. Every beta has little cosmetic differences, I'm not too enthusiastic about most of them. They've made major changes to bookmarking, but I rarely use my browser to bookmark anymore ( http://del.icio.us/dshaw ). I had been having lots of trouble with the new version of Gmail in FF2, and haven't had any problems with FF3 so that's been a major selling point for me.

Great suggestions. l'd put the post-backs and notifications on the top of my list (esp. responding to Twitter).

Re: FAQ: Is decentralized Twitter just IRC? (Scripting News)

I just ran into a new (to me, at least) service called FriendFeed which appears to be similar to what you are describing (or at least what I think you are describing). http://friendfeed.com/

I don't anything like think this is going to replace Twitter (or Google Reader shared feeds for that matter) any time soon.

Re: FAQ: Is decentralized Twitter just IRC? (Scripting News)

It's definitely not IRC or any other chat system, since I can control the noise. That's huge. (Though I wish I could filter out @guykawasaki 's Truemor's feed posts.)

I still don't see how the decentralized RSS approach would encourage community like Twitter does, though. I get some discovery out of shared feeds in Google Reader, but not community. I like your idea, but I think we'd see the greatest benefit from some rearchitecting of the Twitter message queue system.

I would gladly pay ~$20 for a "Pro" account... even if there were no additional features.
