Having applets is a nice thing if the younger coder is interested in having something viewed from a web page. I'm thinking of a "Young" developer as being in Jr. High.
Applets, and maybe Java, might be overwhelming for anyone below the 6th grade.
I connect to Oracle using JDBC in OO 1.2b. While it is not too easy to set up, it is great once things are all configured. It even has the cheesy ERD mode to generate reports.
Now, if I could only find a Linux version of ErWin (or something like that), I would have no reason to keep Windows around.
...anyone know of a good ER tool...other than DIA.
To understand this, you need to understand who makes the decisions to use JBoss.
Is it the Java expert? No.
Is it the Database Expert. No
Is it the Security expert? No.
Is it the Netowrk expert? No.
Is it the monkey-ass MBA? Damn strait!
If a F500/1000 company is going to use JBoss and hire the JBoss consultants, it will be at the recomendation of some MBA. It will be hard enought to get it in there since JBoss is not out taking them to Hockey games or buying rounds of golf. It has NOTHING, NOTHING, to do with the technical merrits of the software. This, my fellow techies, is why Open Source is having a difficult time.
Oh sure, it's the American Workers fault. What about the CEO, CIO, CFO, and FUCK-O that is paid an exorbitant salary/bonus/stock package.
Now, factor the American way of life. Is it that far off to expect a higher salary too? Since IT is the nerve center of any business, are tech worker any less-valuable than accountants or lawyers? No.
Now, how about these "Consulting" companies that bill-out at $100-$300 per hour...and the fact that many of these "Fresh-out-of-college" mba monkeys are on-par (or lower) with the companies own IT staff.
With that...what do you expect? Yea, life's a bitch, then you learn you can make more money with a union job than engineering a multi-tiered, distributed, web-based, enterprise application.

This not a bad book. For $34(USD), there are some good learnings. This is one to have on the shelf.
Anyone rememebr the product recall on the Cylon Rader spaceship. I had one with the missles that shot out. A friend had one where they "Locked" them down.
Damn product safety.
Wish I still had it...in the box.

Applets, and maybe Java, might be overwhelming for anyone below the 6th grade.
- Command line (if you like)
- Free
- Many Free IDE (i.e. Eclipse)
- Available for Windows, Linux, Mac, Mainframe
- Class files can be sent to friends without a recomple
- Applications AND Applets
- Tons of free learning stuff like Thinking in Java
- No demented DLL hell and install issues that will f_ck up Dad's computer
- Many specialized area of interest (i.e. Multimedia, 2/3d Graphics, Networking, Voice, Games, Web, etc.)
As an added bonus, budding young kids of descruction can battle with Robocode or Race using CodeRally CodeRallyI connect to Oracle using JDBC in OO 1.2b. While it is not too easy to set up, it is great once things are all configured. It even has the cheesy ERD mode to generate reports.

Lets see this type of migration with Microsoft. You have to rewrite your applications every four years.
Solution for all Put the MP3s in Microsoft Visual Source Safe, then have employees check-out the tunes!

Well, three reasons...
No marketing
No "Tech support"
nobody to sue if things go wrong.

Maybe if someone "Hacked" his web site and posted anti-nissan messages.... Would it be his fault :-)
How about Slashdot interview the IT shop in Largo?
