on Jan 12th, 2009Equinox and OSGi Refcard published
Over the past month or so I’ve been working with the DZone folks to put together a refcard on Equinox and OSGi. It was finally released yesterday. Phew.
The idea behind refcardz is to give people a quick overview of a technology, how to get started and a few of those key tips and hints for being effective. Putting one of these together is a bit of a challenge as the topics are broad and there are lots of different audiences — Equinox and OSGi are no different. No matter what you are going to leave out stuff. You can also check out the interview I did with James Sugrue on Equinox for the release of the refcard.
Finally, keep an eye out for a full book on Equinox and OSGi coming out in the summer. You can get some of the content now from Rough Cuts. Your feedback is extremely useful.
Nice tutorial and overview.
One small comment in regards to the tip: ‘sysout’ then Ctrl-Space. You can save two letters and use ‘syso’ then Ctrl-Space.
Thanks for the feedback. It was actually the publisher who made me put in the two extra characters. Something about the layout… ‘-)
