Overview: Gource is an amazing open source project that creates visualizations of the development history of any software project that use a version control system such as Mercurial or Git. With this tool, you can analyze how your code grows over time, see how developers are interacting with the code base, and also understand how your code tree looks. While Gource is fantastic, getting it to

Overview: Spring 3 takes a little work to get fully working in the Google App Engine but once correctly configured, you'll have access to Spring MVC, dependency injection, JSTL, JDO with Spring ORM, and much much more. In this guide, I've taken the Google Guestbook demo and rewrote it to utilize many common Spring 3 features. I'm currently using Spring 3.0.2 and Google App Engine SDK 1.3.4.

Overview: Google App Engine provides a set of tools developers will need to know about to utilize its resources. Google has done a good job expanding the list of available services since they launched GAE in 2008. They have a very comprehensive list of services that can be used to create my application but each service is not without its limitations. Let's take a look at what is available now.

Overview: The most fun part of developing usually comes in the first 33% of the project life cycle. Creating that rapid prototype that demonstrates your idea is where most of the fun is. From that point on, the excitement of the project nose dives as you start looking at where you are going to run the darn thing, and making sure your system is scalable enough to handle its own success. I'm

Ubuntu is finally set up the way I want and I'm ready to be productive now! The installation process was not entirely smooth for my particular setup but everything worked out at the end. Problems/Issues I ran into: 1) Bad CDR Media I had burnt a copy of Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 onto a CD but upon boot up, it froze at a black screen with two icons of a keyboard and a spread eagle person with a

First thing's first, my Fedora 11 installation has got to go. I'm pretty sick of having to manually install and tweak a bazillion different things just to get Fedora to play a movie file or to play an MP3. Ubuntu has just launched Ubuntu 10.04 LTS so I'll give that a whirl. Main justification for this is that I need to upgrade to 64-bit in order to maximize memory availability for Eclipse. I'll

Today is when I finally draw the line. After hanging around with some good friends of mine and discussing what car I can not afford to buy, I've decided to finally NOT WASTE TIME! For over 2 decades now, I've had fantasies of retiring early and have watched countless opportunities slip by where I could have made my fortunes. Not any longer! Here is where I begin my journey to finally achieve my
