Inspired by this excellent web post “Ruby or Python? Well, it depends...”,
I agree with it at 100%:

Ruby or Python? This is the Question! Well it might not be the Question, but it’s a common question for many developers looking to break free from the statically typed language they know and learn a dynamic language. I personally know them both(though I know a bit more Ruby, than Python) and in this article I’ll share my personal opinion on their strengths and weaknesses. You’d probably do good to learn them both, but my arguments here may lead you to pick only one of the languages depending on you preferences.

Il nostro primo ministro ha infine deciso di entrare in guerra con la Libia, dopo un colloquio a porte chiuse con il suo pari francese. Non è dato di sapere che cosa è stato promesso all’Italia, certo qualcosa che vale il voltafaccia mediatico, che Berlusconi sa quantificare molto bene.

Questo editoriale sul Corriere ci fa capire che l’incoerenza di Berlusconi nasconde la volontà di contare quando in Libia si trattera di “riscostruire la democrazia”
Per l’ennesima volta abbiamo visto la Lega abbaiare senza un risultato reale, difatti leggiamo:

Nei mesi passati ho avuto l’opportunità di lavorare come software architect per un progetto basato su .NET e C#.

Da molti anni non bazzicavo in ambito Microsoft, e quindi è stata una utile palestra. Ho pensato di scrivere questo piccolo manuale per sviluppatori java con la ventura di dover diventare… C#-enabled.

linqbridge - Re-implementation of LINQ to Objects for .NET Framework 2.0 - Google Project Hosting

LINQBridge is a re-implementation of all the standard query operators in Framework 3.5's System.Linq.Enumerable class. It's designed to work with the C# 3.0 compiler, as used by Visual Studio 2008. LINQBridge comprises a LINQ to Objects API for running local queries. (It doesn't include an implementation of LINQ to SQL, nor LINQ to XML; a good compromise can be to force Framework 3.5 out to just the server machines, allowing LINQ to SQL to be used where it's needed most).

via linqbridge - Re-implementation of LINQ to Objects for .NET Framework 2.0

There are a lot of legacy project out of there. Some customer will ask you to add a simple .NET 2.0 web service to a big application, and they will not switch to C# 3.5 for that.

Gavin King (the inventor of Hibernate) fired out a new language project called Ceylon (I suppose referring to the Tea versus the Java Café). I love new languages. I know a bit of them, and I work with Java form 1995, so I will do a deep review of this news…

Fare un bimbo è un po' come essere arruolato in un servizio militare attivo: l'unica differenza è che i generali sono più pazienti dei neonati.

Il mio bimbo prende la febbre, e si svegli ad intervalli di 60 minuti durante tutta la notte. Si inizia! Alle 10:00 ha 38 di febbre e il papà è preoccupato ma la mamma mantiene la calma. Alle 11:00 ha 9 di febbre e la mamma si preoccupa pure lei. Optiamo per un po' di tachipirina in gocce: riusltato il bimbo vomita prima per terra, poi sulle mie ciabatte.

At Gioorgi.com we was never a SQL fan. In 2000 we thinked SQL was boring, mostly because sql algebra could be a bit boring. Then we found this book written by one of the father of SQL. Years ago Google and then Facebook popped out with new incredible ideas, for improved and super fast scalability, which eventually turned to the “NoSQL” mantra.

But NoSQL is a mature technology, or it is only a path traced by the Social company out of there? Let’s explore together…

Squeak 4.2 final now out! « The Weekly Squeak.

We read on the startup:

A new virtual-machine, known as "Cog", is about to be released for Squeak. It's a complete rewrite from the ground-up, employing a Context-to-Stack mapping design onto which a JIT compiler for Intel-compatible hardware results in, roughly, a 3X, across-the-board performance improvement. Specific Benchmarks vary much more widely (from 1x to 5x, with some people claiming 10x for specifics.

Plus, latest squeak feature a Cleaned-up code base, refactoring and unification of Smalltalk and SmalltalkImage globals and much more! Give it a try!

SearchBlox is now available as a FREE product with no limitations. | Lucene Search Solution - SearchBlox

On November 12, 2010 SearchBlox announced the availability of SearchBlox Search Software as a completely FREE product.

I took a look to SearchBlox on a complex project, and I suggest you to give it a try. It is a good solution for small sites, and it is powered by Lucene. Google Mini has a strong brand, but it cost a lot and it had a 2-year resubscription process: a very costly stuff.
