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.

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.

The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
pleased to announce the ninth public release of the Apache 2.0
HTTP Server.
...
Apache 2.0 versions 2.0.37 through 2.0.45 can be caused to crash in
certain circumstances. This can be triggered remotely through mod_dav
and possibly other mechanisms.
Specific details and an analysis of the
crash will be published Friday, May 30. All Apache 2.0 users are encouraged to upgrade now.
While plowing through the 5000+ e-mails at work this morning, I tripped over the QuartzPlugin for Struts. This looks very cool - a way to configure scheduled tasks (i.e. a cron job) as part of your web application.
The QuartzPlugin for Struts allows you to automatically configure and start a Quartz scheduler upon initialization of your Struts application. It also places itself in your application context to make a scheduler available within your actions. That is, in addition to statically scheduled events like "every six hours," you can dynamically schedule events from Struts actions for "24 hours from now".
Now I just hope I get a chance to utilize this bad boy in the near future.
Damn, after reading e-mail and blogs for the last couple of hours, I'm slowly starting to create a list of things to do. Life is so much slower and easier without a computer! Anyway, it looks like I have all the equipment to listen to RSS feeds on my iPod. I'm also thinking of downloading books from Audible.com and learning on my way to work, rather than simply listening to music. BTW, I got Mini-Me back today (after sending it to Apple) - they fixed the hinge, but not the loose case.
We arrived home just a couple of hours ago - and boy is it good to be back in the land of no humidity. Julie's skin is itching already (it loves humidity) and mine is loving life. I don't plan on detailing all the blogging events I missed, but since nothing earth shattering appears to have happened - it looks like it was a good time to relax and get away. There are, however, some things worth mentioning:
:hover can be used on a paragraph to create a cool effect and I might have to use it... someday.It's good to be back - and was one of the most relaxing vacations I've ever had.
I'm home for a mere 12 hours between my New York trip and my Florida trip. Vacation has been awesome so far - and one of the best parts has been not having my laptop and therefore not try to "get things done" - as I am right now! ;-)
Hightlights (so far) have been seeing all my family, seeing Matrix Reloaded (I found myself giggling with glee during some of the fight scenes), playing in a family golf tournament, doing laps in my cousins backyard in a go-cart and going to the Yankees game yesterday with my cousin Paul. To top it all off, I found that the XDoclet team has incorporated my enhancement to allow generating Struts' Forms from POJO's. That ROCKS - Thanks Mathias!
The Apple Store called and said my laptop is finished, so I will pick it up on the way to the airport. I just hope I choose not to take it with me - vacation is so much better without it.
I leave for the airport in less than 5 hours. First I'm off to New York for my Grandpa Joe's funeral, then I fly back to Denver on Sunday and hop on a plane on Monday for vacation in Florida. I'm kindof disappointed my laptop didn't make it back from Apple in time for this trip, but it's probably a blessing more than anything.
Not having a laptop, my productivity addiction will go unsatisfied (but my stress level will subside) and I'll likely feel out of touch with Java and technology when I return. However, I hope that I turn into my old self on this trip - whom I affectionately refer to as Montana Matt. An easy-going, low-stress guy who doesn't care about much outside of family, friends and having a good time. I'd like to smile a lot, quite worrying about work, and forget about all the open source projects that need releases. I plan on laughing a lot, sleeping in every day, and tipping back a few pints with family and friends. I probably won't be reading any blogs, but I do plan on doing a little mophoto-ing.
See you in a couple of weeks - normal operations will likely resume around the end of the month.
We all know how much open source Java tools have helped us - how about open source testing tools? Opensourcetesting.org looks to be a great site for saving some cizash for your QA department (or for you when you're wearing that hat).
Opensourcetesting.org aims to boost the profile of open-source testing tools within the testing industry and give you easy access to open source testing tools from one central location. As you'll see from the tools on offer, there are some very usable, sophisticated and stable open source testing tools out there.
This picture was taken in the Bitterroot National Forest in Montana on August 6, 2000 by a fire behavior analyst from Fairbanks, Alaska by the name of John McColgan with a digital camera. Since he was working while he took the picture, he cannot sell or profit from it so he should at least be recognized as the photographer of this once in a lifetime shot.
I gave Julie a Series 2 for her birthday today. We set it up and now it takes 4-8 hours while it downloads and programs itself. Pretty cool. Spendy though - the Home Media Option is another $100, and if I want broadband access (which I do), I have to buy a Wireless USB Adapter. Oh well, we figure to have it for a long, long time and we love our last one. Julie was pissed that I spent more than $50 on her birthday present, but bit her toungue because she got mad at the last Tivo I bought her and now thinks its the best birthday present ever!
On a side note, I discovered that Tivo Central Online (the site to remotely program your Tivo) is Powered By Struts - sweet!
Update: I just got the following e-mail from Julie. I guess you could say that she gives the Series 2 a thumbs down.
i think we should return tivo. i don't think it's better than the one we have now. you can view another show while recording but only if you switch the channel on the tv and watch regular tv w/out tivo. it just seems like a lot of money for no/few more options. maybe we should wait a couple years for the technology to progress.
The XDoclet Team is looking for a new name for XDoclet 2. This is to eliminate confusion b/w version 1 and version 2. Checkout the current suggestions and add your own if you like. If you don't know what XDoclet is, or haven't used it, you're wasting precious development hours IMO.
