We will split up this post in three or more essays. In this first essay, we are going to classify the evolution of source code search engines. So, please, feel free to drop us a line spreading your opinion about this topic. mayworm 2006-12-19T12:32:36-08:00 http://weblogs.java.net/blog/mayworm/archive/2006/03/using_maven_to.html I came across several interesting communication glitches in an offshore development software. This project comprises analysis, design, architecture and QA teams who work onshore, while developer teams are working offshore. We faced problems such as communication bottlenecks and lack of awareness of what developers were physically producing. A big part of these problems we got solved through the implementation of a communication plan between the teams. This plan focused on face-to-face interactions and the use of tools like Wiki, IM, Skype, forum and desktop sharing systems.

Some JUG Petropolis members and me have been teaching Java platform for five years free of charge in an academic environment. Our focus is to help somebody in a academic community, who wants to learn Java. I always describe a strategy to make sure that students can continue to learn Java effectively.

The development team was constantly complaining about the complexity they had to grapple with for implementing every single use case. When asked whether their difficulty lay in the technological aspects, or even if the core business involved was too complex, they reported that their problem was elsewhere. Namely the challenge actually had to do with the steps they had to follow in order to attain, for instance, a simple CRUD respecting the architecture designed by the software architect. A CRUD with just two attributes required the development of 10 different classes to allow the insertion of a simple record in the database.

Brazilian developers have a chance to win A JavaOne2006 pass, entitling the winner to a free roundtrip airfare to San Francisco with hotel accommodations included.
