It's simple and minimalistic, has a small memory footprint and is easy on the CPU. Flash player works fine on my Windows XP box. JavaFX developers should like it too.
An applet, a Java program that runs in a browser, often has to access the client resources. However, the security manager prevents an applet from accessing client resources. To access client resources, the applet has to have the proper permission. With this permission the applet can then access the client system resources by way of the security manager.
Three-letter acronyms (TLAs) are hardly new in Information Technology: EAI, ESB, SOA, BPM, BAM, ETL, MDM; the list goes on and on. This article is about yet another three-letter acronym, EDA, which stands for Event-Driven Architecture. EDA is not a brand new technology, but rather a proven paradigm in system-level programs, war and military simulator applications, gaming, and other areas. EDA has started to shape how general-purpose business applications are architected.
New England-based Egenera has opened a West Coast office in Santa Clara, California, saying it’s a growing market. Google.com, Google’s philanthropic arm, intends to put upwards of $10 million in steam-producing geothermal energy that circulates water through hot rocks to lower the cost of electricity from renewable sources. Google thinks it could be the energy equivalent of a killer app. The money is going to AltaRock Energy Inc in Sausalito and Potter Drilling Inc in Redwood City. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allan’s VC arm Vulcan Capital, Khosla Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, and Advanced Technology Ventures are piling on the AltaRock deal. Google’s selfish motivation is the cost of its data centers.

Government intervention and direction has long been critical to the development of the computer industry. The Internet, after all, was derived from the ARPANET, developed in the early 1970s from a U.S. government-sponsored research project by the Advanced Research Projects Agency. Today local, national, and supranational governments from Latin America to the United States to Europe continue to influence the development of our industry.

SpringSource Enterprise and Application Platform software offerings, as well as commercial support offerings around Apache Tomcat and other Apache technologies, will be offered under numerous contract programs, including the Federal GSA.
Commercial systems are developed with a huge range of performance requirements and we are concerned in this article with the small number of systems where absolute maximum performance is demanded either in terms of execution speed or available memory. We'll discuss the role of bespoke implementation and show that writing programs that utilize novel data structures and new algorithms designed with knowledge of the specific problem context is a necessary complement to the generic components and automatic optimizations offered by compilers and modern JVMs to maximize performance.
Active Power, Inc., inventor and manufacturer of energy-efficient critical power systems in the world, announced it has sold and shipped one of its CleanSource UPS (uninterruptible power supply) 1200 kVA system to Sun Microsystems. The flywheel based UPS system will provide power protection and conditioning for Sun’s Broomfield, Colo. based data center facility.

One of the primary goals of every developer should be to prevent or drastically limit the number of bugs or defects from being introduced in their source code. It is also our responsibility to write good, extensible, testable, and maintainable code. This however seems like a herculean task to many. John Smart has very well said in his latest and greatest "Java Power Tools" book:
In this blog entry yours truly will explain how to reintroduce the Swing JTable to a JavaFX application. We will mull over why it this valuable component was removed and extol over its virtue. I will show some of my Gmail Client code.

Saternus is a Polish Java Developer, currently working in the UK. He
recently became interested in the idea of writing a hybrid Java/Flex
application. He wrote an online PDF viewer with a Java back-end. This
tutorial follows the steps he took during the development of the
application. It is his first enterprise project and therefore it
should not be seen as an expert's guide in this field...
