I came across this link representing a visualization of programming languages usage based on a hashtag collect : http://www.ioncannon.net/projects/code2012/
Although this method can be criticized, it provides interesting data : JavaScript is the clear winner with Java just behind. We can see Scala is a growing language too, it has been used more than PHP last year (according to this study).
If you find another study on this topic don't hesitate to comment this blog post to let me know.Loïc Descotte shared via Twitter an excellent color scheme for IntelliJ inspired by Monokai color scheme.
You can grab it at the following link (Monokai color scheme) or get the complete corresponding settings jar file here.
Setup is simple, under OS X you have to do the following (and then
select the corresponding color scheme in settings) :
cp ~/Downloads/GreaterMonokai.xml ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea12/colors/
When we migrate data at SRMvision, we use Groovy to focus on the migration logic without loosing time with heavy syntax and POJO mapping. Groovy is a great tool to do this, and its out of the box Sql handling is really very good. I found myself having the need to insert data to multiple existing table filling all columns.
While we can do it easily, it can become a mess rapidly when there is a lot of columns to handle. With this little snippet, you can leverage Groovy's maps to get a solid insertIntoTable
static def insertIntoTable(String tableName,
Map paramMap,
final Sql sql) {
sql.executeInsert("""
INSERT INTO ${tableName}
(${paramMap.keySet().join(',')})
VALUES
(${paramMap.keySet().collect { key -> ":" + key }.join(',')})
""", paramMap)
}To use it, one can simply call it this way (with the sql object correctly bound to a connection)
def paramMap = [
id : 1,
myFirstColumn : "My first value",
mySecondColumn : "Second"
]
insertIntoTable("MyTable", paramMap, sql)
During a Jabber talk with my friend
Thomas Debarochez I mentioned an app I use everyday that he hardly ever knows. Then
I think it might be a good idea to describe the tools I use everyday
at work or home on my machines. My main computer is a MacBook Pro
(late 2011) running latest OS X version (Mountain Lion). I use it to
develop the
SRMvision platform which is
built using Java EE technologies (the whole stack will be detailed
in a further post).
The tools I use on my machine in my development process are the following :
