蛍の光

蛍の光　窓の雪
ふみ読む月日　重ねつつ
何時しか年も　杉の戸を
開けてぞ今朝は　別れ行く

止まるも行くも　限りとて
互に思ふ　千萬の
心の端を　一言に
幸くと許り　歌うなり

（日本語講座の解説）

蛍の光や窓からの雪明かりで書物を読む日々を重ねて来たが、いつの間にか月日が過ぎ、今朝ついに杉の戸（掛詞）を開けてクラスの皆と別れて行くのだ。

この故郷に残る者も故郷から出て行く者も、今日を限りにお別れだ。互いに数え切れないほどの思い出を胸に秘め、「幸あれ」と願う短い言葉の中に万感の思いを込めて歌っている。

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?

Ethical Hacking 101

-
In today's digital landscape, software security is paramount. To safeguard applications from cyber attacks, developers must embrace Ethical Hacking—an innovative approach that empowers them to uncover vulnerabilities and strengthen security measures. Ethical Hacking involves adopting the mindset of malicious hackers to identify weaknesses and fortify defences against unauthorised access, data breaches, and other threats. By integrating this practice into the coding process, developers gain valuable insights, proactively mitigating risks and creating more robust and secure software systems.  I took a basic lesson from Snyk about Ethical Hacking, which helps me consider security measures in coding.   Process   Plan & Prepare ( Reconnaissance phase)   Scan & Enumerate   Exploit   Analyse & Report Communicate & Collaborate Continuous Education & Professional Development   Tools   Nmap : network scanner   Burp Suite : security testing of web applications   Metasploi

Mark Six Analyst

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
