spaces2e

Whatever your project’s specific policy on whitespaces is (tabs vs. spaces, etc), the most important rule should always be consistency. Not just to make your code look nice, but also to avoid issues with patches and your version control system. Changes to whitespaces may be more or less invisible to the naked eye, but Git [...]

Github everywhere with venture funding?

Github has announced a Series A round of venture funding today. They are taking 100 million USD from Andreessen Horowitz – and at least the first part of the name should be familiar to software developers. The announcement is a surprise as Github has always refrained from taking venture money. No surprise is their goal [...]

You don’t have to use git to access code on github

github

I guess a lot of people would agree that github is the current kick-ass platform for developing software. Many platforms showed up fast and with the same speed they disappeared. Github is different. It’s also genuinely innovative. For several months I use github to share small projects (widgets, tools, small plug-ins). When I write a [...]

Only 1 more day until Eclipse Helios is release and we are down to my Top 2 features. Over the life of Eclipse (Jeff McAffer tells me that he’s been working on Eclipse since 1999) a lot has changed.

For the Helios release, the guys behind the majug² (Mannheimer Java user Group) invite everybody to the Helios Democamp in June. And as Ian already found out: Yes, we love our DemoCamps!

Helios M6 RCP package

The new EPP packages for Helios M6 are uploaded to the download area and just need some more hours to be distributed to the Eclipse download mirrors until we can make them available for the public from eclipse.org/downloads.

Persistent Trees in git, Clojure and CouchDB

git-trees

This is a tale of three images. I found these images while investigating the internals of several different applications. There are some really neat software projects emerging at the moment, and as a developer I always find it interesting to take a look at the implementation details, because there is often a lot to be [...]
