krugle/the search engine/ for developers/ findcode/findanswers/krugle makes it easy for developers to find source code and technical information—fast!… I subscribe the beta-testing program of this new, powerfull search engine for developers.

Salve. Era da parecchio tempo che mi ripromettevo di farlo: finalmente adesso ho trovato il tempo per cominciare il mio studio del framework Cocoa.

By itself it has an extremely bitter flavor. ...

I’m not an Oracle developer. I’m not an Oracle DB Manager. I’m not an Oracle Java Developer. I’m an Eclipse lover since Eclipse 3.0M* releases but, because of the power of Oracle, I had ever followed our development in the Java-Development-World. 5 days ago I Oracle sent to me information the release of JDeveloper 10.3 and OC4J 10.3 (Oracle Container for Java - our Application Server), and today I spent a little amount of time looking at the new features of JDeveloper and looking the interesting flash-screencast-demos. ...

Dojo is the Open Source JavaScript toolkit that helps you build serious applications in less time. It fills in the gaps where JavaScript and browsers don’t go quite far enough, and gives you powerful, portable, lightweight, and tested tools for constructing dynamic interfaces.
