We’ve discussed codapps.io before, it’s a MOOC (online course) that allows you to learn Java programming and uses mobile/Codename One as its vehicle. Our current documentation and tutorials can be quite intimidating to a person who is a complete Java newbie so this course is quite helpful in bridging that gap. I think learning GUI programming is probably the best way to learn programming as it lets you “see” the results instantly ..

I’ve been using gRPC at work and in several personal projects for months and happy with it, but when it comes to load balancing gRPC does not come with batteries included. For a long time the only document was the Load Balancing draft in the gRPC repo, the clients should implement a Picker interface to know about the servers, so the pooling and controling the load were handled by the clients.

One of the biggest barriers for countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to fight diseases and improve life expectancy, is their limited access to quality health care. There are many factors contributing to this, including human resource constraints and poor quality data in existing Health Information Systems (HIS).

I love going to JavaOne, I used to do it every year and it’s loads of fun. I’ve been speaking on a regular basis at JavaOne since 2008 and got a rockstar award a while back. Two years ago we purchased a booth to promote Codename One as well. Last year we skipped the show and it has been so great we decided to skip it again. While JavaOne is loads of fun it does nothing to the bottom line even if you have a booth in place. We had man..

To get people to build a boat you don’t need to get them to weave canvas, forge nails, or read the sky. You need to give them a shared yearning for the sea. — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The next Monday, when the fathers were all back at work, we kids were playing in a field. One kid says to me, “See that bird? What kind of bird is that?” I said, “I haven’t the slightest idea what kind of a bird it is.” He says, “It’s a brown-throated thrush. Your father doesn’t teach you anything!” But it was the opposite. He had already taught me: “See that bird?

Historical note: Codename One’s UWP target was discontinued in release 7.0.229 . This post is preserved for historical context only, and its build/setup instructions no longer apply to current Codename One projects. The latest plugin update includes a new kitchen sink version that includes quite a few bug fixes, enhancements and a new side menu design that looks much better. We also got the demo published on the Windows Store thru..

Last week we merged the new Android peer code into the main branch. That means that we can no longer support the android.newPeer flag as all non-versioned requests will use the new peers. This is a good thing as it will allow us to focus on one implementation moving forward. We would like to bring the new peer implementations to other platforms but so far this has proven itself somewhat challenging especially with our resource const..

This post will cover intricacies of “choosing your battle” and how personal passion for a project might conflict with corporate motives. I have experienced open source from the side of the contributor, the side of the maintainer, and the side of the corporate-backed maintainer and contributor. The latter is what rea....

This one was a 'fun' issue to deal with. Actually it's not that common to find a compiler issue that can be replicated with such a small amount of code in my experience, which is kind of satisfying. Compiling uint32 bitTest(uint32 y, uint32 N) { int shift = 1; for(uint32 i=0; i

Communication is at the heart of human relationships. Human relationships is what allow us to build a common future. If you want to change this common future you need to learn how to communicate about the future you want and why it should matter to others humans. If they know why it matters, they will be more encline to listen how to get there. Then, you will be able to tell them what to do to make this a reality.

I wrote about searching bash history with Emacs Helm some time ago. Since then, I've learned about completing-read to generically handle simple Emacs completions (very handy for supporting Helm, Ivy, and Ido completions). Here's a simple way to combine completing-read and the compile command to enable fuzzy searching your compile history: (defun ar/compile-completing () "Compile with completing options."
