Committing Acts of Subversion: The next generation of version control

Mistakes happen. Bad ideas happen. Have you ever felt that sinking feeling when you accidentally erase an entire directory of source code? Or have you ever realized that the oh-so-clever refactoring you applied yesterday is causing performance issues today? Wouldn't it be great if you could turn back time?

Thinking Inside the Box: Building Spring-Enabled Portlet Applications

Windows changed everything. Back in the days of MS-DOS, you could only run one application at a time. Switching between writing a letter and balancing your checkbook involved closing a word processor and opening a spreadsheet. But now you can be running dozens of applications simultaneously, each inside its own window. And now switching from one
application to another may be as simple as a shift of your eye or a click of the mouse button.

At Your Service: Service-Oriented Spring

Where Spring promotes loose-coupling between your application objects, service-oriented architecture (SOA) encourages loose-coupling between applications that interact with each other.
