A Gioorgi.com la redazione ha una doppia anima: da un lato siamo fan dell’america, dall’altro ne evidenziamo gli errori compiuti negli ultimi anni, come per esempio  la lunga e non risolutiva guerra in Iraq, a cui rischia di aggiungersi anche un conflitto di sapore iraniano. Come molti, abbiamo seguito con emozione la notte elettorale, e abbiamo segretamente tifato per Barrack Obama.

L’andamento delle borse negli ulti giorni (soprattutto la prima settimana di Novembre) non è stata influenzata positivamente né dalle elezioni americane (che portano un presidente con un consenso largo e diffuso) né dall’annuncio della buona salute di Unicredit (che incrementerà gli investimenti alle aziende meritevoli).

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 first article of a series tagged “opensource”: let’s start!

Richard Stallman Vision, based on GNU open source idea, is too radical from our point of view.

Stallman GNU License is based on a “copyleft” idea, which gives everyone the freedom to look at others’work, without taking credits for it. The license vision is very strict, so consulting is the natural option for an IT business based on GNU software, which is drived by Univestities, because of its basic freedom statement. Closed and paid software is still widely used, but open source is the key for the next revolution; let’see why.

Modulo1: Java, algoritmi e strutture dati di base.

1. Introduzione alle collezioni In particolare Map, TreeMap, ArrayList, Set, tutte del package java.util Classi: Arrays/Collections
2. Eccezioni: Gerarchia delle eccezioni. Eccezioni: articolo illustrativo in Italiano
3. Unicode e Internazionalizzazione Ottimo Articolo sull'Unicode e i character set in generale Introduzione alla API di internazionalizzazione

Domande di verifica del Modulo1:

• Come si fa ad ordinare una lista utilizzando l'API di Java? Ordina una Enumeration usando due sole chiamate.
• A cosa serve l'interfaccia Map.Entry? Fai un esempio d'uso.
• Che differenza c'è tra Throwable e Exception? Perché OutOfMemoryError deriva da Error e non da Exception?
• A cosa serve ResourceBundle?

Modulo2: Java e i Thread

• Introduzione alla gestione dei processi paralleli (Thread)

Modulo3: Java e il Web

1. Concetto di Deployment, Jar ecc
2. Java e il Web. Specifica delle Servlet &  Javadoc
3. Specifica HTTP 1.0

Domande di verifica del Modulo2:

• A cosa serve l'interfaccia SingleThreadedModel?
• Perché HttpSession non ha getParameter()? A cosa serve la classe URLEncoder?

Riferimenti

• Riepilogo delle librerie (visuale)
• Elenco Esempi Java Base
• Specifiche J2EE più usate al momento

In the previous article we introduced the reader to the bug tracking tools.

In this article we will analyze Mantis, an open source bug tracking tool It is very important to stress you are going to use much more time to set up an open source bug tracking tool. A fraction of this time is for setting it up, but the vast majority of your time will be spent setting it up, customizing it and recovering information on it.

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 so on) is based vastly on simple design of ready to use, not annoying stuff.

For this reason, the software is not anymore the focus. Core software should be open source: things like word process are not the future of the business. Things like FaceBook are the future of business.

What you try to sell is your GUI design experience (see things like FogBugz or Wordpress), your networking idea (like Facebook), your focus on search agents (like Google, because too much information is useless by definition).
