EJB 3.0 Announcement at TheServerSide Symposium
EJB3的主题词是——轻量级(lightweight)!其实很多东西不过是把一些已经成为事实标准的OSS技术和概念拿过来标准化而已——例如看上去Hibernate要取代Entity Bean了 :p

Using Aspects as a Test Coverage Tool
嗯,也许可以搞个AOP应用专辑了,这个东西尤其有用,因为code coverage历来是测试难题。。。

String Benchmark: Java vs. Objective-C vs. C
不知道为什么做这个测试,不过还好,Java的差距在10倍以内。。。

XMLBeans: BEA Gets The Message Out
BEA是最早在自己的产品中大量使用XMLBeans的厂商——Workshop 8.1的核心技术之一就是XMLBeans,而且效果非常的好(在大大简化开发的同时提供了很优秀的性能表现),所以,BEA的人写了几篇很好的介绍文章:

XML Processing with Java Object Technology
Scott Ryan looks at two of the more popular frameworks used to turn XML input into Java objects and Java objects into XML.

Strongly Typed XML in Java with XMLBeans
Cezar Cristian Andrei presents how XML documents can be manipulated in Java applications in a strongly typed fashion.

Steve Hanson shows how to create and use XMLBeans in a Web service client and then leverages their capabilities in an actual client for the Google Web service.

Adobe Buys Q-Link Technologies, Java Workflow Company
一个标志——说明Adobe要深入开发文档管理的市场。考虑到Adobe最近出手一贯精准,加上在Acrobat的文档处理在政府和大企业行业的巨大优势,这是个值得关注的动向。

Putting Google to the Test
这个是Slashdot猫扑类似的一个例证。。。但是,这个测试着实非常有趣!!

What Sex is Your Robot?
呃,这是另一个例子。。。又有精辟的comment:

…that i see word “sex” on slashdot. For a second i thought that we geeks are finally getting lives :) But only for a second – then i read the entire subject.

Mono Project Releases Beta 1
之前报道过的,Ximian的Linux porting for MS .NET,出来了第一个beta,这也是检验MS的开放程度变化的一个标竿,呵呵!

Math And The Computer Science Major
讨论的主要问题是——现在的计算机专业学生是不是学了过多过深的数学?有趣的话题,不过我认为并不过多,要想培养逻辑思维的能力,没有比各种数学分支更合适的了——不过还要看谁来教,怎么教。
