Spring Roo

Am I not upto date with Java growth?!?!

Spring Roo is way ahead on leveraging the power of Java to help the Java developers in building code.

IDE were the first to get the Productivity increase; Roo seems to be the next step - It still runs insider (&| outside) IDE.

Need to get my hands dirty with this tool... Seems to be interesting...

Fast new windows - Gmail

Interesting feature... dint know about this till date - huh...

I used to do 'save now' then search another email or content, come back to 'draft' and start from where i left...
I did that even today couple of hours back...

This feature is great!
Now I know why I dont like Yahoo! or AOL mail layout - they are more uglier with Ads all over :(

Small things you may not know about Javascript

Interesting collection for JS codes - more intuitive...

I liked the hints for 'variable conversion', 'replace()' and 'createDocumentFragment'. However the interesting part was the mechanisms JS version need to be detected...

The surprising part is the 'trimLeft' (may be 'trimRight' as well) is introduced in JS 1.8.1 version only!

Even more surprising part is only Firefox has browsers to support all the JS versions upto date. Every other browser lags way behind Firefox including GoogleChrome and IE8. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript#Versions

- I am a fan of FF! :)

Web Growing into Past

Happened to land on this page, when searching something else.

I wanted to check the recency of the content and found the content was created back in "Aug 03 1936"! The period of President Roosevelt.

So the web is not just growing into the Future but also into the Past!

PS: Will we get such growth for Indian content? It would be wonderful to browse through the past from future.
