Java EE6 Decorators, advanced usage

Aggregated on: Tue May 23 2023 05:15:38 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

After my first article about Java EE6 decorators, it got some attention on dzone. I got some comments telling me the example isn’t exposing the true power of the decorator feature.The first thing I did not mention in my previous post is that we can combine a number of decorators and choose the order we want them executed.If you have a use case for it, you can easily define 2 decorators, by just defining them in the beans.xml file like this. <decorators> <class>be.styledideas.blog.decorator.HighDecorator</class> <class>be.styledideas.blog.decorator.LowDecorator</class> </decorators> So when we call our decorated class, we get the highdecorator entry, low decorator entry, actual decorated class, low decorator exit, highdecorator exit. So the decorator sequence in the file does matter.The true power of the Decorator feature in java EE6 is the ability to combine it with CDI annotations. As example I’ll use an Social media feed processor.So I have created an interface

IoT & Dogs: How to Build a Sleep Tracker Using Tessel and Twilio

Aggregated on: Tue May 23 2023 04:45:38 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Sometimes you just have to track the sleep habits of the living things around you. For example, maybe your children wake up at mysterious and unexpected times. Otherwise, in the case of Ricky Robinett at Twilio, you might just be wondering how much your dog sleeps while you're away. One solution, as it turns out, is a sleep tracker built with Tessel and Twilio. Robinett has written a solid tutorial on how to build such a thing, and all it requires is a Twilio account (of course), along with a Tessel microcontroller and accelerometer module, a USB battery pack, and a somewhat cooperative dog. From there, Robinett walks you through everything you'll need to know: setting up Tessel and sending SMS, using Twilio libraries, interacting with the accelerometer, and so on. Then, once you're all set up, you're ready to take an action rarely described in technical circles:

IoT DIY: A Round-Up of SDKs for IoT and Wearables

Aggregated on: Tue May 23 2023 04:45:38 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

It's fairly clear that not everybody agrees on how to define the Internet of Things, but certain aspects are more generally agreed upon. For example, DIY computing (along the lines of Raspberry Pi) is opening up in a big way because of the growth of IoT, allowing developers to solve a lot of new problems in new spaces and think outside of the box a bit. To illustrate that point, Sunanda Jayanth at Contract IQ has assembled a round-up of SDKs for IoT and wearable devices. The list covers six SDKs, each with a brief description:

Introduction to XSLT This article is an introduction to XML transformation stylesheets, better known as XSLT [ref], with some simple samples. Actually, I wanted to call this article "Java and XML – Part 4 (XSLT)," but since I have mentioned the Java part in one of my previous articles [ref], that doesn't seems to be nesessery here. In that article you can see how the syntax for binding the XSLT process using the JAXP parsers DOM and JDOM2 looks.

iOS First, Android Later (or Never)

Aggregated on: Tue May 23 2023 04:45:38 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

You don't generally hear that you should develop for Android first, but even if you go iOS first, Android comes second. That's the traditional wisdom, anyways. According to Semil Shah on Haywire, though, "iOS first" is an understatement. It should be iOS first, and Android in the distant future, if at all. Shah is fairly direct with his point of view: The most common trap here is the early iOS app which gets some buzz. All of a sudden, the founders hear “When are you building for Android?” The natural, enthusiastic response to sincere requests of the Android chorus is to go ahead and build for Android and seek more downloads, more growth, more revenue. I have a different view though. The proper response is: “No. Buy an iPhone.”

What Makes CI/CD for Salesforce Different?

Aggregated on: Tue May 23 2023 02:15:38 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Globally, more than 150,000 businesses use Salesforce. And since the CRM is also a development platform, there are more than 1.5 million Salesforce developers building apps, automated business processes, and more. Many IT departments assume that Salesforce development and releases can be approached in much the same way as other platforms and expect to be able to apply DevOps best practices. But all too often, bringing a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) playbook from other platforms to Salesforce ends in failure.

Mastering Time Series Analysis: Techniques, Models, and Strategies

Aggregated on: Tue May 23 2023 01:30:38 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Time series analysis is a specialized branch of statistics that involves the study of ordered, often temporal data. Its applications span a multitude of fields, including finance, economics, ecology, neuroscience, and physics. Given the temporal dependency of the data, traditional validation techniques such as K-fold cross-validation cannot be applied, thereby necessitating unique methodologies for model training and validation. This comprehensive guide walks you through the crucial aspects of time series analysis, covering topics such as cross-validation techniques, time series decomposition and transformation, feature engineering, derivative utilization, and a broad range of time series modeling techniques. Whether you are a novice just starting out or an experienced data scientist looking to hone your skills, this guide offers valuable insights into the complex yet intriguing world of time series analysis. Cross-Validation Techniques for Time Series Executing cross-validation on time series data necessitates adherence to the chronological arrangement of observations. Therefore, traditional methods like K-Fold cross-validation are unsuitable as they jumble the data randomly, disrupting the sequence of time.

What I Learned From Crawling 100+ Websites

Aggregated on: Mon May 22 2023 23:45:38 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Our primary product is a ChatGPT website chatbot. One of its unique features is that we're able to scrape your website to create context data for a ChatGPT chatbot. However, when I say unique, there are 1,000+ similar products out there doing similar things. We've got one unique difference, though, which is that we simply cannot afford to "say no ..." What I mean by that is that instead of just saying, "It doesn't work," when confronted with a website we couldn't crawl, I have manually crawled and debugged these websites, seeing such errors as an opportunity to improve our crawler — which is probably why we've got a kick-ass crawler able to literally digest almost anything you throw at it today. As far as I know, I think we're the only vendor able to, for instance, crawl a website without a sitemap.

Building a Java Payment App With Marqeta

Aggregated on: Mon May 22 2023 23:45:38 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

If your business has ever considered adding a payment system for issuing cards — perhaps to customers or employees — then you may have avoided it because the technical hurdles seemed too difficult. In reality, getting a payment system up and running is quite straightforward. In this post, we’ll look at how to build payments into your Java application using the Core API from Marqeta. Marqeta is a financial services company that you’ve likely already benefited from by using its platform. Uber, Square, and DoorDash all have payment platforms built out using Marqeta. If your company needs to issue payment methods to customers or employees, then the Marqeta platform may be exactly what you need.

Develop Hands-Free Weather Alerts To Ensure Safe Backpacking

Aggregated on: Mon May 22 2023 23:15:38 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Camping and hiking are a core part of the American identity. Over 52 million households (out of approximately 123 million) went camping at least once in 2022. While many families like to car camp, many others like to backpack, sleeping in tents outdoors and venturing far from facilities. While this can be a liberating experience, it’s also a way to get in closer touch with nature. Like so many other things, however, getting in touch with nature is a double-edged sword. Unexpected weather events such as thunderstorms, snow, and high winds can significantly take the fun out of a backpacking adventure and can even create a dangerous situation. Lives have been lost many times when the weather turned and caught hikers off guard. However, with ever-improving technology, backpackers with even a modest signal can create a customized weather alert, ensuring they maximize both fun and safety. For this tutorial, we will use Tomorrow.io weather API to create an alert that only tells us what we need to know when we need to know it. One element of safety that is often overlooked is creating the right level of caution and alerts. On one hand, if we have to remember to check the weather forecast every 15 minutes to ensure unexpected weather shifts don’t surprise us, it’s going to be a tedious hike for all the wrong reasons. On the other hand, though, setting up alerts with a general weather app often leads to alert overload, which can create “alert fatigue” and result in missing the few alerts that are genuinely important. With a customized weather alert, we can ensure that only those events critical to our situation interrupt us, creating a more serene experience and peace of mind knowing that our custom API call is looking out for us.

Developers Are Scaling Faster Than Ever: Here’s How Security Can Keep Up

Aggregated on: Mon May 22 2023 20:00:37 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Lift-and-shift strategies are a thing of the past. Instead, forward-thinking organizations are adopting cloud-native platforms, which offer pre-constructed building blocks to increase velocity and flexibility in the architectures you design. As a result, developers gain an important benefit: The ability to scale quickly. Cloud-native platforms are the way of the future. In 2021, less than 40% of new digital initiatives were built on cloud-native platforms. However, Gartner predicts this will skyrocket to more than 95% by 2025. It’s easy to see why — faster time to market, ability to scale up and down based on demand, no responsibility to manage core infrastructure, and increased agility make cloud services a good investment.

Back in August when Google acquired Instantiations, the speculation was that Google would possibly provide Instantiations GWT Designer as a free tool for all to use. Today, Google has made my day, because not only is GWT Designer relaunched as a free tool, but so are their three other core products. This is a huge day for Java developers, particularly those focussed on the desktop, as these tools are among the best of breed: as commercial tools they were worth the cost as they boosted productivity, but as free tools they are now an indispensible part of your software development workflow. The importance of this announcement can not be overstated. Firstly, Java developers now have a production quality UI builder for fast prototyping of their desktop application using either Swing, SWT or RCP, as well as GWT and XWT. I've used WindowBuilder in the past, and it's a great way to get started quickly. The code generated is very usable. There has been no convincing free solution available for this range of UI frameworks in the past: today that all changes.

You can use a language, and not care how it works; or you can use a language, learn how and why it works, and then go on to improve it yourself. You can, of course, improve a language without knowing how it works -- just providing feedback is often plenty.

Rafal and Ben Foster commented on my previous post with some ideas on how to deal with incremental updates to map/reduce indexes. Rafal said: Actually, it's quite simple if you can 'reverse' the mapping operation (for given key find all documents matching that key): you just delete aggregate record with specified key and run incremental map-reduce on all matching documents. In today's example, you would delete the aggregate with key='oren' and then run map reduce with a query:

So as we’vementionedoccasionallyaroundhere, we think that HTML5 app development is something that even real developers (we kid! we kid!) should be keeping their eye on as a likely method of first resort for cross-platform development and non-AppStore distribution; and here (h/t: @Dylan_Beadle) is a LIVE! ONLINE! FREE! course it might be worth at least keeping an eye on in the background every Tuesday the next 10 weeks: HTML5 Mobile Web Development

How VideoCamera/PhotoCamera content is saved on Windows Phone 7

Last Friday I posted an article about how it is possible to use the "raw" video camera and camera stream in the application. Today I am explaining where exactly the data is stored when the user captures media content. PhotoCamera A PhotoCamera instance is only able to capture static images (one frame per capture). This is done via the CaptureImage method. So, for example:

Suffering a little whiplash after the rapid-fire removal and return of HTML5's <time> element, I became curious about how the working groups at W3C actually, well, work. In particular, I noticed something about the wording of Steve Faulkner's original revert request:

HTML5 < time > element: returned!

Well, after hubbub, including some here at DZone, the HTML5 <time> element has returned. Paul Cotton, on behalf of the chairs of the working group, issued a revert request -- and his explanation is interesting:
