In my code ramblings during the developement of Code Zauker, I ended up studing a bit NoSql  database.

Code zauker started using Redis, because Redis is a very bold memory-based no-sql db. Redis also support complex data type like sorted set, lists and so on, which was very userful.

Worst, my current pocket pose a hard limit on a redis instance in terms of available RAM. So I started thinking a lot about a redis drop-in replacement for Code Zauker.

And so you was waiting for news?

Nice to impress you: I was able to shot two code zauker versions in less than a month!

If you have an application with thousand of beans, you must do unit testing but…Spring testing is boring, belive me. A very complex Spring application usually have a lot of dependency: I had to manage over 3000 beans definitions in a production project right now. Sometimes you want only to test a bit of it, and setting up a complete Spring Context will drive you crazy. To avoid losing mind, my suggestion is to …cheat. Let’see how.

After a bunch of time, I take back my Erlang Hammer from the sand of time.

Working in a big company, my work laptop came with MS-Windows7 Enterprise installed. But as you imagine, Unix is my preferred desktop environment. So let’s how to configure a perfect Debian Linux for a old wolf consultant like me. You will be able to install commercial software mubmo jumbo like Oracle Express and IBM Websphere in a snap, and have a 64 rock solid system, easy to bring in a USB stick if you like.
