Overall, older devs (37 and up) had better reputations (meaning they provided more helpful information) than younger developers. This trend held true even if you looked at only "recent" technologies like mobile development. http://news.ncsu.edu/releases/wms-murphyhill-age-2013/ This is rather interesting to think about since there is a perception that employers often fire older, more expensive/experienced developers to hire cheaper, younger devs with more current skills.

Er umm excuse me, was channeling some memes there. For those of you who don't know, Linode has had a bit of a security oopse on their site. hashed passwords were retrieved as well as encrypted credit card information and possibly the keys to the encryption as well. If you are the paranoid type, update your passwords and if they have you CC on file you probably need to get a new card. If you are less paranoid they just doubled the sizes of all their instances for the dollar.

It has brilliant Maven support which makes banging out proof of concept projects easy. Maven projects by in large ARE NetBeans projects with no extra dot files which means I can check out any project and open it up without having to do any funny imports. It also ships with out of the box support for SVN, HG, Git, and *shudders* CVS. Finally, it has really great JavaScript support. On the downsides the extensions are very hit or miss (with a preference to miss) and it is ugly as sin. Eclipse is a wonderful IDE most of the time. It usually gets support for newer technologies first and is the default IDE that lots of projects support via extensions. It has a great synchronize editor and debugger. The keyboard shortcuts are both fast and easy to learn. Quick Fix is a god send and it has wonderful refactoring support out of the box. The workspace metaphor is very nice as well. On the downside it has a bad habit of running away from you if you have too many extensions and the maven support is quite craptacular. For instance, build plugins need Eclipse plugins to work correctly. I've been learning IntelliJ so my opinions on it aren't fully formed yet. For those who don't know what Eclipse and NetBeans call Projects IntelliJ calls Modules. Modules are grouped into Projects which are like Working Sets in Eclipse and don't have any good analog in NetBeans. You can only have one Project open at a time in IntelliJ. IntelliJ has brilliant support for Groovy and I'm sure other languages, and it also has great Maven support. I don't like the one project rule but I'll get over it. I'm not sure how I like its facets metaphor either. Finally, the command line. This is where I do 90% of my git maintenance and running custom maven goals. If you have a bash shell with proper TAB complete support you can be quite productive. If you are stuck with COMMAND.COM I fear for your soul...

However, on their blog and docs, Oracle suggests signing and says that if your code is unsigned or self signed the user will just get a warning message and the opportunity to abort execution. Is the difference now the warning message will always appear where as before it only appeared if you were requesting elevated permissions? https://blogs.oracle.com/java/entry/imp_your_applets_and_web Summers Pittman _______________________________________________ ajug-members mailing list ajug-members-4vciHtwbE8s&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org http://www.ajug.org/mailman/listinfo/ajug-members </pre> Summers Pittman ℝ 2013-04-04T13:09:51 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.ajug.members/7205 <pre>http://henrikwarne.com/2013/03/26/what-do-programmers-want/ Cheers Vincent _______________________________________________ ajug-members mailing list ajug-members-4vciHtwbE8s&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org http://www.ajug.org/mailman/listinfo/ajug-members </pre> Vincent Mayers 2013-03-27T13:41:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.ajug.members/7204 <pre>Time is running out to reserve your seat for MongoDB Atlanta&lt;http://bit.ly/10MZnut&gt; on April 23 and hear from 10gen engineers and the local MongoDB community • New features in 2.4: Hash-based Sharding, Security and Aggregation - 10gen • Use cases and success stories from local customers We’d like to offer you a 25% discount – register now &lt;http://bit.ly/10MZnut&gt; with the promotional code mug25.
