Event: Developer Productivity Engineering: What's in it for me?

Manchester Java Community hosted another great session in Thoughtworks . The speaker is Trisha Gee , co-author of the renowned book Head First Java .  The speaker pointed out that the productivity of developers did not mainly come from individual developer themselves but from the organisation which offers productive environments or not. The factor includes work space size, quietness, privateness, any diversion or needless interruption. On technology side, productivity can be improved by consistency and reliability of builds. Very fast feedback can improve productivity and quality, thus increase revenue, reduce cost and improve brand. References: DEVELOPER PRODUCTIVITY ENGINEERING: WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?

Open Source in the world of software is amazing. Developers share and distribute source codes with each other. SourceForge is one of the well-known platforms. I have registered my first Open Source project in SourceForge. The project is called Mark Six Analyst at https://sourceforge.net/projects/marksixanalyst/ . It is a simple tool to forecast the result of Hong Kong lottery or so-called Mark Six by various statistics methods. For the success of the project, I would like to thank Java, JavaDB (Apache Derby), Java Swing, Java Persistence API, TopLink, Hibernate Entity Manager, NetBeans and CsvReader. Because of them, developing a software application becomes rapidly quicker and the developed application becomes more stable and much easily maintained. Especially for Java Persistence API or called JPA, developers are less annoyed to handle entity EJBs and Object-Relational Mapping. It is helpful for developing an application with a database of complicated entity relationships. On the ot

  Pluses and Minuses: How Math Solves Our Problems "Pluses and Minuses: How Math Solves Our Problems" by Stefan Buijsman is a thought provoking book about the role of Mathematics in our daily life. The book starts with examples of Google Map and Netflix to present that Maths is not only an abstract exercise in a classroom but also closely related with us everyday. Following that, it describes how human being interpret Maths and its development along the history in various cultures. The later chapters demonstrate about the history and applications of two advanced topics, Calculus and Probability. The last topic is about graph theory and explores its usage in navigation, streaming service, cancer treatment and social media. The last chapter is not only a conclusion but also rethinks the nature of Maths and how we correctly and mistakenly apply it in our daily experiences. While the book contains a few content describing Maths formula and theorems in this book, it primarily focu
