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.

I received my complimentary four copies of Pro JSP tonight - whooo hooo! It sure is cool having your name on the cover of a book. ;-)
Congrats to all the other authors that feel the same way.
If you run Tomcat as a service (on Windows), you might be interested in the Tomcat Service Manager. I don't, so I'm not - I prefer "tstart" and "tstop" in cygwin (or bash), which are defined in my .bashrc file as:
alias tstart=$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.bat alias tstop=$CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.bat
NOTE: If you are unfortunate enough to have $CATALINA_HOME defined as a directory with spaces in it, you'll need to wrap $CATALINA_HOME in double quotes.
I love Eclipse and always have. However, it kinda sucks on OS X. It is slow like Marcus says. Actually, it's a LOT snappier on my new PowerBook, but it's still much slower than it is on Windows. On Windows, it runs lickedy split and is by far my favorite IDE - because it *looks* like Windows more than anything. Inspired by Marcus's post, I'm willing to give IDEA another try on my OS X - I probably won't get enough time in the 30 day trial to appreciate it (or switch to it), but I'll make an attempt. BTW, I've actually heard that many of the "IDEA Rules" advocates actually got it for free - at least some OS projects' committers got a free copy. I'm sure if there was a 6 month trial version, and folks actually got addicted to it (like I am with Eclipse), they'd sell more copies. I'd pay for Eclipse right now if it weren't free.
Later: I already have one pet peeve - why can't I install IDEA in an "idea" folder rather than in "IntelliJ-IDEA-3.0.5". I install all my "tools" in /opt/dev/tools (i.e. /opt/dev/tools/eclipse) and this makes it very easy to tar xzf any new versions over old ones - and it just looks better. I hate when installers make you install their apps to a particular directory.
I agree with James about the new PowerBooks. My 17" simply rocks. I do have to disagree on one point though - it's actually not that hot. It seems to run much cooler than my 15" 667MHz.
Anyone know of a good Calendar Tag Library - that renders calendars like the ones you see on blogs? I found this one from Coldbeans, but it's $50 - whereas free is always better. We just need it to render a calendar on a page and gray out certain days (with CSS) to say that day is not available.
Intuit, the maker of QuickBooks and Quicken, does not make good OS X software. Why? Because it can't read the Window's versions of its files. I bought Quicken so we could edit our Quicken files with our Macs, as we currently do with our PCs (data file is stored on Linux). To edit our Quicken files on the Mac, we have to export a QIF file from Quicken/Win and then import on Quicken/Mac. Good thing I wasted my money on a Windows version of Quicken and a Mac version - since I'll obviously only be able to use one.
Same goes for QuickBooks - if you want to edit your Windows-created QuickBooks file on a Mac, you must export/import. That just sucks! Intuit - have you ever heard of this company called Microsoft? They seemed to have no problems making their software read files created by either platform - maybe you should take a lesson from them.
Since I upgraded to Roller 0.9.8, this site has crashed twice. Once last night, and once this afternoon. Both appear to be caused by a MySQL failure, followed by an AJP to Tomcat failure. I haven't asked Keith yet, but I do suspect it's a hosting issue, not a software issue.
Update: From Keith:
No problems with the database as far as I can tell from the logs. Uptime on the server is currently 9939830 seconds or 115 days. Is it possible that you are hitting the 20 connection per user max?
Well at least it stayed up through the night, if it goes again then obviously it's Roller 0.9.8 and I'll be reverting back to the last version (a CVS snapshot) I had running.

Hypersonic PC Sucks - they charged me $165 for returning the POS Aviator ZX7. I returned it because the following items did not work: power cord, bluetooth card, wireless card. Otherwise, it was a nice machine. Hypersonic PC Sucks because they didn't refund my money until I filed an investigation with my credit card. And then they claimed there was a $100 charge for scratches on the box, and the shipping costs are non-refundable ($65). After this, they warned me:
We also reserve the right to charge a restocking fee of 15%.
Maybe this post will cause them to up-the-ante. In the meantime, I hope Amex gets me a full refund.
In an effort to free up some space on my PowerBook, I attempted to delete OS 9. To my knowledge, this is possible by deleting the "/Applications (Mac OS 9)" folder and the "/System Folder." Sure sounds good, but I can't get rid of the Microsoft Excel program in my Applications folder. When I try to delete it, the whole OS freezes up and the only thing I can do is reboot (by holding down the power button).
I took Mimi-Me into the Apple Store last weekend to see if they could help. They ran "Repair Permissions" and then ran Disk Warrior on it - which took several hours. They assured me that running Disk Warrior would fix it, but no dice. Any ideas?
