Re: Review of "Pro Spring"
Using simple POJOs + factories without Spring for "echo" and "counter" would be a lot more easier. No need to write those XML files... So, in this case using Spring makes me write a lot more code... (OK, you can generate everything with the help of And...

What they once said...

Frederik Brooks: Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.
Alan M. Davis: "If you believe that you know the requirements better than the customer, you are part of the problem, not the solution."
Rod Johnson: Software design is as much art as science.
Chinese proverb: Experience without learning is better than learning without experience.
C.A.R. Hoare: The unavoidable price of reliability is simplicity.
Jane Cleland-Huang: Software development should integrate and consider project metrics that assess its financial impact.
John F. Woods: Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.
Ed Yourdan: There is nothing in the programming field more despicable than an undocumented program.
Albert Einstein: We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Albert Einstein: Intellectuals solve problems: geniuses prevent them.
Alan Kay: 90% of code written today is getting around other people's mistakes.

[JavaScript] [Java] [Spot the bug] Announcing new "Spot the bug" series

I'm going to start a new weekly series of postings called "Spot the bug". The idea of this series goes along the lines of The Daily WTF, yet the goal is not to point fingers at anyone, but more to help people write better code, learn from others' mistakes and sensibilize them to bad practices and bugs present in existing codebases.

The first "Spot the bug" entry will be posted tomorrow, so make sure you stay tuned. Thanks to you all for your ongoing support!!
