Which languages should you be familiar with for a career in web programming?

Wed, 19 Sep 2012 08:04:12 +0000

While doing some research for my latest teaching job, I had reason to find out which are the most widely-used server-side languages used for web programming. The information provided by what seems to be the best source (although there are hardly many of them) gave some surprising results. I knew that PHP was popular, but […]

Eclipse trainings available

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:10:14 +0000

I delivered my first Eclipse training just before Christmas last year. I’m happy to say that the clients, just under a dozen programmers working for a large German corporation, have reported being “very satisfied” with my two-day seminar. I’m also happy to say I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would, probably due […]

A little problem with the OSGi Version class

Fri, 04 Nov 2011 08:11:17 +0000

With the release of Indigo, Eclipse hackers have been exposed to a little change in the API of the org.osgi.framework.Version class. Specifically, a new method: compareTo(Version) has appeared. Prior to Eclipse 3.7, comparing two Version objects was done via the compareTo(Object) method. This caused us in the Saros team to suffer a rather subtle bug. […]

New release future-proofs Saros

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 11:14:05 +0000

As my previous post suggested, the changes introduced by the recently released Java 7 and Eclipse 3.7 caused our project a couple of headaches. After some careful development and an extensive period of testing, we can confidently say that the latest release of Saros (version 11.7.29) works happily with the latest generations of Java and […]

Solving XStream-related problem

Fri, 05 Aug 2011 10:19:41 +0000

Just a quickie post to advertise a solution we on the Saros team found to a quite serious problem resulting from the release of Java 7. In testing, Saros was functioning fine with Java 6 users, but Java 7 users experienced problems that we only found through looking at the error log: ERROR 2011-07-29 16:43:38,942 […]

Saros release 10.6.25 is available, and a new domain for Saros

Tue, 29 Jun 2010 13:43:56 +0000

Yup, it’s again time for Saros, the open source plug-in that lets you develop your Eclipse projects with your colleagues over the Internet. The Saros team made another regular release last week, mostly providing bugfixes and internal optimisations, although we did provide a rather nice, new feature for those users with big projects to share… […]
