The Angular Mini-Book is a
guide to getting started with Angular. You'll learn how to develop a bare-bones application, test it, and
deploy it. Then you'll move on to adding Bootstrap, Angular Material, continuous integration, and authentication.
Spring Boot is a popular framework for building REST APIs. You'll learn how to integrate Angular with Spring Boot and use security best practices like HTTPS and a content security policy.

The JHipster Mini-Book is a
guide to getting started with hip technologies today: Angular, Bootstrap, and Spring
Boot. All of these frameworks are wrapped up in an easy-to-use project called JHipster.
This book shows you how to build an app with JHipster, and guides you through the plethora of tools, techniques and options you can use. Furthermore, it explains the UI and API building blocks so you understand the underpinnings of your great application.

The W3C's Valid CSS icon (and server) seemed to disappear over the weekend - forcing me to install a local copy of the image, and to quit relying on their servers. If any of you are having a similar issue, feel free to download it (right click -> Save Image As...) from here, and change your img's src attribute to reference a local copy.
This evening, I continued trying to migrate Roller to the lastest version (1.2 beta) of XDoclet. The last time, I made it pretty far, but discovered that the action-mappings weren't being generated in <struts-config>. This time, they showed up, but only a couple of them. I did a little digging and discovered that the two Actions extended org.apache.struts.action.Action, whereas most of the Action classes in Roller extend org.apache.struts.actions.DispatchAction. This used to work just fine with XDoclet 1.1.2, but appears to be broken in the lastest release. So I filed a bug in XDoclet's JIRA and now I sit and wait. I want to just dig into the XDoclet code and fix this, but since it was working in 1.1.2, I'm guessing it was either intentional (and I can fix my problem via Roller's build.xml or a simple oversight and someone can fix it quickly.
You should use the <label> tag in your forms because it'll increase the accessibility and usability of your web interface. Consider this, when you add a label to a checkbox, the user can click on the label (or the checkbox) to select/deselect. When you add a label to an input element or textarea, clicking on the label sets the focus on the field. It just makes it easier, so spend the extra 5 seconds to add one next time you're developing a form, you'll be glad you did.

Omondo is proud of being the first software vendor who will include SVG export inside Eclipse. Omondo is also the first software vendor using GEF and EMF. Our EclipseUML Free Edition allows object-oriented modelling to become truly useful in complex technology domains such as transaction systems, messaging systems and web services. http://www.omondo.com
Cool - a free UML plugin for Eclipse. Don't get too excited though, on the download page, I found it's a beta and has only been qualified for Eclipse 2.0.1 running in Windows 2000/XP. Does that mean it's only been tested on that platform?
A New project at Sun Labs promises to make programming tools more effective.
"There have been a lot of
good ideas and interesting approaches that weren't being reflected in the
commercially available tools, particularly the IDE interface."
...
In July 2000, Van De Vanter and Gosling decided to combine forces on a new
project called Jackpot. The project is all about making programming tools
more productive by making them easier to use and more effective at
reducing code complexity. To this undertaking Van De Vanter and Gosling
brought an intimate appreciation of how programmers actually work, along
with new architectural approaches.
This was in the year 2000 - have IDEA and Eclipse already done this? Seems to me like they have certainly revelutionized IDE's and made them something we like to use again.
