The Angular Mini-Book is a
guide to getting started with Angular. You'll learn how to develop a bare-bones application, test it, and
deploy it. Then you'll move on to adding Bootstrap, Angular Material, continuous integration, and authentication.
Spring Boot is a popular framework for building REST APIs. You'll learn how to integrate Angular with Spring Boot and use security best practices like HTTPS and a content security policy.

The JHipster Mini-Book is a
guide to getting started with hip technologies today: Angular, Bootstrap, and Spring
Boot. All of these frameworks are wrapped up in an easy-to-use project called JHipster.
This book shows you how to build an app with JHipster, and guides you through the plethora of tools, techniques and options you can use. Furthermore, it explains the UI and API building blocks so you understand the underpinnings of your great application.

Russell linked to a picture of me this morning. I don't think it does me any justice since I'm run ragged from Abbie's birth and I'm sitting there with 15 pregnancy-pounds. So, in hopes of improving my image (nudge, nudge), here is a picture of Julie and I from March of this year.
I managed to revive Mini-Me this afternoon just after I thought I had lost everything. After running Disk Repair (from both the OS X and OS 9) CDs about 20 times, I tried the Archive and Install again. This time it worked (the disk was recognized) and I get to start re-configuring everything, just like I did one month ago.
Thank goodness - I'd hate to lose all those sweet photos from Abbie's birthday. I'm burning a CD (of all my photos) as I write and backing up everything. I guess this is my monthly almost-hose-the-machine and rebuild sequence. I used to do it on my XP machine, and I do it about every 6 months to Julie's Win2K box. I've gone a couple years now without killing anything completely, but I have re-installed Windows many times - haven't lost any data yet. Must be time to backup everything, now that I've written this, a disk failure is inevitable.
Domininic says, "I am try to find a good way to have an intermediate page load up while my Struts Action performs a large database query and then XSLT transformation." Ask and ye shall receive. I received the following e-mail from Alec Missine a while back. The attachment has a method of implementing a TCR. Let me know how it works as I haven't tried it myself.

Subject: processing time consuming requests (was: wait page primer)
There's been some interest to the message I posted last month on the subject. The war file was too big though, so I compressed the stuff as much as I could. I also added some javadoc and UML diagrams.
The attached Struts-based application prototypes the wait page support for a time-consuming request (TCR). When a TCR (e.g., a database search) starts, the appropriate wait page is being sent to the browser after the request's ETC (Estimated Time to Complete) expires.
In the meantime, the corresponding action (the database search) is being started in the background thread on the server. If the default ETC is used (ad infinitum) or the action completes before the request's ETC expires, there is no wait page at all - the browser gets the result page right away, while the background thread is still busy closing the resources.
The wait page has javascript that polls the server to update the wait page with the TCR's progress. When the TCR completes, the wait page is being replaced with the appropriate result page.
This implementation has been tested on Apache Tomcat 4.0 with an Oracle 8.1.6 database as a data source. Presently, the application provides read-only access to all database tables for all database schemas through extensive use of the java.sql.DatabaseMetaData object. The next release will support insert/update/delete functionality.

Hope this helps!
Finally, it's here, revamped from the rendering engine and up. Opera 7 Beta is smaller and faster than before, offering you a whole range of new features to make you more productive on the Web. [ Read More | Screenshot ]
Installing now...
I found Galatea Flashguides at this early morning hour (2:30 a.m.) while watching Abbie and trying to keep her entertained so Julie can get some sleep. Looks like a great site for how to's for installing Apache, Tomcat, JOnAS, and Cocoon.
Kevin Bedell and James Turner have setup Struts Kick Start; A site devoted to discussion and support of the Struts web application platform, centered around the SAMS book.
Tomorrow night at the Denver Java User Group, Sue Spielman explains how to use Struts to build Enterprise Applications. I think I know most of what will be presented, but it never hurts to attend a Java User Group meeting. We'll have to see how Abbie and Mom feels about Daddy taking off for a few hours (Julie has the flu, so I doubt I'll make it). I actually contacted Sue a few weeks back about contracting prospects. She responded quickly and opportunities seemed promising after exchanging a couple of e-mails. But alas, I haven't heard from her since.
This
site is 29.18% text context. Apparently, the rest is markup. Found via web-graphics.com.
The tool (wittingly called getContentSize) apparently does
not include images or attached CSS, or javascript in it's analysis. I believe
that considering it measures my total page size as 51131 bytes, where Phoenix
tells me it's 55270 bytes. What it doesn't tell you is that I have around 250
(yes 250!) links on this site, and since it doesn't count those as text (<a
href> is markup), I think I've done pretty well. Here are some interesting
statistics for other sites (and lots of markup with little text):

I tried Kurt's suggestion (booting into OS 9) to get rid of the phantom file in my Trash. I couldn't see a Trash (.Trash) folder in /Users/matt, so I tried clicking on and using the iClean app that was sitting on my desktop. I guess I installed it at some point. Anyway, it fixed a bunch of my aliases, cleaned up my internet cache and such. When I rebooted into OS X, I get the Mac equivalent of the BSOD. It says You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button. I tried using the Disk Utility on Jaguar Disc 1 with no luck (errors abound when trying to repair the disk), and I am unable to re-install OS X because there is no destination drive to install to. So in other words, I've completely f****ed up my Mac again - with little hope for fixing it. I thought this was supposed to be the "friendly OS?"
This is what usually happens when I spend all day on the computer goofing off - I shoulda done some actual work.
Update: I found the problem is a good ol' Kernel Panic. I'll be testing out Apple's tech support folks tomorrow.
Brent Ashley now has a blog. I came to know Brent via his Remote Scripting libraries - particularly the Javascript (JSRS) version. At the time (about 6 months ago), I was trying to write a SCORM implementation using Javascript and Struts. I got it working, but then realized that I needed synchronous communication. Hmmm, in looking at this forum post it appears that Peppoz has implemented SCORM using this same architecture! Cool - sometimes reminiscing does add value.
I found these gems on the eclipse.tools newsgroup.
