My Continuous Lifecycle 2013 talk.

„It works on my machine“ hat sicher jeder schon einmal gehört.

I'm working in an organization where we do synchronized sprints between all teams.

In the last couple of months I got to play around with virtualization at work.

What do you need to do to get a fully automated kickstart of a virtual machine on your local development platform running?

My BedCon 2013 talk.

Javadoc is here to help.

I'm a Java Programmer.

WebSockets sind in aller Munde, im Java Magazin sind sie nun sogar Titelthema.

In an earlier article I compared cucumber (with Cuke4Duke) and Concordion.

Recently I was debugging my code and I could not see why my test was failing.

I'm playing around with some web frameworks lately and to see what's in store with Spring 3 MVC (never did too much with it) I gave it a try to see how it handles Ajax.

Every Programmer needs to read books.

If you developed an ajax rich web application , maybe even a single page interface, you want to make sure that the user gets notified if the server is not reachable anymore.

A couple of month ago I had an idea for a small web app.

So I heard about these strange distributed version control system s like over a year ago.

Developing software ain't easy.

Whenever you create an object you have to find a meaningful name.

One year ago I started to blog again.

In Response to Matt Raible's question about my preferred development stack.

Selenium IDE Selenium is well know for automatic testing web pages.

We are agile.

You are doing scrum, your story is big, you really don't know much about it and the feature does not get implemented in time.

If you want your Business Analyst to provide some acceptance tests for your implementation it would be best to make sure you get it in some form your tests can read.

We have been using our own flavor of Fit for Rules (which is build on top of fit ) for about 1 1/2 years now to test our business logic written in JBoss Rules 5 .

At my current job management buys into Test driven development.

Whenever you write some code you better make sure you have it covered by some tests.

For the last couple of month our scrum master always drew our daily burn down chart.

No matter how good a developer is, with two hardware upgrades you can speed up most machines and cut down development time for everybody.

I use Apache Trinidad at work and since JSF 2 is now final I decided to play with it a bit.

Here is a small update on my little fun project.

Did you ever wondered if all tests your team wrote are really running ?

Jetbrains released a Google App Engine plugin for their IntelliJ IDE.

I'm pretty busy at work right now but I could find some time to add one more feature to my little property sorter plugin for IntelliJ Idea.

In the last couple of month I was writing some flows using Spring Webflow 2.

Until now it was almost impossible to get the GeoLocation of a user browsing your site.

At Campfire One Google announced their App Engine for Java (this was in the rumor mill for a couple of days already).

Your IDE does a great job in helping you to program.

I'm tasked with some css tweaking to our current product.

A couple of days ago I had the case that I needed to test a method with different parameters.

We are using JSF, Facelets and Spring Webflow in the product I'm currently working on.

So just in the last sprint we (re) discovered that we need an owner of each story .

I found SOLID Development Principles In Motivational Pictures a couple of days ago.

We do have our Sprint Review tomorrow.

You use Spring in your application everywhere.

I do work with language property files pretty much every day (since I'm the GUI guy in the team).

In the last couple of month we continuously improved our scrum task board.

What is Extreme visibility?

I upgraded my MacBook Pro last week to 4 GB of RAM (up from 2GB).

Today I got an interesting ctrl+space code completion in IDEA 8.1.
