Log Manager
Nov 28th
Il seguente esercizio operativo serve per prendere confidenza con:
- Libreria Java Servlets & JSP
- Libreria Log4J
Si richiede di creare una pagina jsp che consenta di modificare dinamicamente alcuni livelli di logging:
Dettagli:
- Si richiedono 5 livelli di log (qui ne sono mostrati solo 3 per semplicità)
- Si richiede di poterli configurare modificando un solo punto (es 5 var nascoste nel form)
- Si richiede di poter configurare la password (idem come sopra)
- Se la password è errata il sistema registra su un log l’errore e non fa nulla, ripresentando la maschera.

I dati della crisi
Nov 25th
In un articolo del corriere della sera del 19 novembre 2008, leggiamo un inciso che dà un’idea della crisi in atto. Si riporta una discorso del ministro del Tesoro Henry Paulson (grassetto nostro):
Paulson [...] ha spiegato che, anche se la crisi rimane grave, non è cosa da poco che il sistema sia sopravvissuto a una spaventosa distruzione di ricchezza. Ed ha fornito un dato impressionante: le istituzioni che nei mesi scorsi «sono fallite o hanno vissuto una situazione che equivale a un fallimento», e cioè Bear Stearns, IndyMac, Lehman Brothers, Washington Mutual, Wachovia, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac e il colosso More >
Che sia semplice!

A Gioorgi.com ci occupiamo di software da molto tempo. Giovanni Giorgi respira il software dalla metà degli anni ottanta, quando il Vic 20 fu commercializzato in Italia (abbiamo trovato molti dettagli sul
nome e la storia del VIC-20, ma la fonte più attendibili è sempre wikipedia).
Dopo così tanto tempo, possiamo affermare uno dei principi fondamentali che qualsiasi persona si occupi di software deve tenere a mente.
Non importa se siete account, ingegneri, responsabili di marketing o semplici sviluppatori junior. Dovete sempre tenere a mente che il software che producete deve essere facile.
Commodore BASIC as a Scripting Language Open Source
Nov 21st
This entry is part 5 of 7 in the series Programming Languages
Commodore BASIC as a Scripting Language for UNIX and Windows – now Open Source:
Here is a little background:
This application is a recompiled version of the original Commodore 64 binary – it is not a reimplementation, so while it runs at pretty much the maximum possible speed, it is still 100% compatible. The huge C file in the archive has been produced by feeding the original 6502 code into my static recompiler and optimizing it with LLVM. The original operating system interface (character I/O, LOAD, SAVE etc.) has been reimplemented More >

Selling software which is of some value
Nov 17th
At Gioorgi.com, after working with a lot with software for over twenty years, we have envisioned a clear idea about open source. This is the second article of a series tagged “opensource”: the previous one is Open Source for the infrastructure; in such article we started to do some tiny consideration of the destiny of big closed huge framework. Things are getting bigger and bigger, and maintaining big code library is a high cost for software house
In the 2008, when I look at software I ask only a thing: to be simple. Embarrassingly simple. The success of Mac stuff (like ipods, macosx and More >
