Hybridizing Java -> outra visão

Ao ler o artigo do Bruce Eckel no artima(link do artigo) refleti sobre alguns coisas que gostaria de comentar.

Nesse artigo ele expõe diversas partes falhas do java e das soluções feitas em java, algumas até concordo com ele que são falhas mesmo. Na verdade lê está vendendo o seu peixe o Adobe Flex, que é baseado em flash. O que Bruce alega é que o flash é a verdade máxima em cross-browser e cross-so. Existem outros pontos muito importantes no java que ele não pesou no seu ponto de vista, eu gostaria de pesa los, são eles:

  • - JCP: ter toda uma gama de empresas pensando em uma especificação universal.
  • Comunidade: Existe uma comunidade muito grande que: cria,mantém,aprimora muitas e muitas soluções em java.


    • Na minha opinião esses são os maiores pontos do java. Existem soluções JSF que resolvem esse problema dos browsers isso parece que ele não levou em consideração.
    Quanto a JS e CSS não vou nem mencionar por que acho que ele está coberto de razão.
    Tem que ser um mega expecialista para desenvolver com essas tecnologias e conseguir manter a premissa de Cross-Browser. Quanto ao JMF(Java Media Framework), bom realmente é uma bomba, mas acredito que a melhor utilização java esteja em JME e JEE(aplicações corporativas).



    O Ponto que temos de levar em consideração quanto ao Flex em minha visão é:
    - Vamos ficar dependentes de um unico fornecedor o flash.
    - Ele fala no artigo que não aguenta mais aprender sobre GUI, bom vai ter de aprender flex.(já se contra diz).
    - Flash é meio lento.

    Java não é a solução para todos os problemas, Existem boas aplicabilidades para o Flex mas no mundo corporativo? Cabe a nos fazer essas escolhas.

    Bom espero que não tenha que estrepar alguns pescoços stygios para que vocês entendam isso, Cães rotundos.

    C Unit Testing with Check

    Image
    When I start on IT, several years ago(+15), C was the first language that I learned. But was not the first language I mastered and deployed in production which was...surprisingly Visual Basic 6.0. However, when I learned C or any language back on that old and arcane time noddy was into testing. However now is impossible to work professionally in any language without tests. C is a low-level language but still kicks ass and has several interesting libs/frameworks. People use to fear C a lot because of lack of syntactical sugar but once you get used to it is not that hard at all. Today I want to show how you can do Unit Testing with C. I will not show how to do Unit Testing with C++ but with C ANSI actually. We will be using Check a unit test lib for C ANSI.

    Having fun with Zig Language

    Image
    Zig is a general-purpose language created in 2016 by Andrew Kelly .  Zig aims to fix the issues C language has while being pragmatic and simple at the same time. Zig really shines as being simple by not having any hidden control flows, not having hidden memory allocations, no pre-processors, and no macros. Basically, it's one language and one language only. Since pre-processors and macros can get really complex and become their own universe. Sure it's not the Zig Philosophy.  Zig Compiler(Zig cc) also is a C compiler, and the interoperability from C to Zig is very good. Clearly, we can see influence from other languages like Go and Rust; however, Zig is pretty unique and different from Go and Rust.  Zig is fast. Zig is perfect for system programming. I bet we will see a lot of solutions being built in Zig. As a languages aficionado, I like to learn at least one language per year and sometimes more; Zig was my 2021 pick, did not regret it. Even if you dont use all language...

    HMAC in Java

    Image
    In 2018 AWS CTO(Vogels) said : "Security is everyone's job". For the last 2 years, there was so many famous and big data leaks and breaks that made that statement be very true more than ever. Security often could mean worst performance and worst user experience so in order to get it right you really need to think about the designs before jumping into to code and consider performance and user experience has main requirements.  I was thinking about writing about how to do HMAC in Java for a while and recently Redis 6.0.0 come out and to my surprise, there was a refactoring on the password part in order to use HMAC.  Security easily could scare engineers often because it is not something well spread yet but I believe this will change soon. It does not matter if you have to deal with PII Data or not, security is super relevant because everybody is running their workloads at the cloud or with IoT and Edge devices which means more distribution, more code, more points of fail...
