One of the Biggest Lessons I've Learned in IT
Something struck me today: over the years, I've been involved in a lot of different projects for a lot of different companies (even some just person projects). The #1 lesson I've learned is this - never exclude a particular technology from your choice of solutions merely because you don't like it (o…
Grails - I'm starting to get a BAD feeling
I've been working on my first real Grails project for a few days now, and I have to admit - I'm starting to feel a little uncertain about the whole thing.
Tasks which seem like they should be fairly simple end up being a huge load of effort to get functioning.

I found out today that VMWare is going to buy out SpringSource. To be honest, I wasn't even aware that VMWare would be all that interested in a company which provides development and software management tools, but I guess since VMWare is already a player in the cloud computing buzz, they had to come…
Grails First Impressions – GORM vs. ActiveRecord
This blog entry is about my thoughts and observations while I'm starting to learn Grails. At the onset, the primary thing I've concerned myself with is the domain layer (what Ruby on Rails calls “models”).
