“Focusing On Coding Inflates the Importance of Finding the “Right” Method to Solve a Problem Rather Than the Importance of Understanding the Problem. Before we start working on a solution to a coding problem we have to decide what the problem is–if we even have one to begin with. If we let ourselves become fixated on how to solve a problem via code–regardless of if it is a programming problem or not–and lose sight of why, we gain nothing.”
Che è più o meno:
Concentrarsi sulla programmazione porta a concentrarsi sulla ricerca del modo “giusto” di risolvere un problema invece che concentrarsi l’importanza di capire il problema stesso.
Prima di iniziare a programmare dobbiamo capire il problema e se veramente esiste. Se ci fissiamo su come risolvere un problema con la programmazione, senza considerare se questo è un problema di programmazione o meno, e dimentichiamo il perché lo stiamo risolvendo, non guadagniamo nulla.
The GNU Trove library has two objectives: Provide “free” (as in “free speech” and “free beer”), fast, lightweight implementations of the java.util Collections API. These implementations are designed to be pluggable replacements for their JDK equivalents. Whenever possible, provide the same collections support for primitive types. This gap in the JDK is often addressed by using the “wrapper” classes (java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Float, etc.) with Object-based collections. For most applications, however, collections which store primitives directly will require less space and yield significant performance gains.

Node.js vs Play Framework
http://fr.slideshare.net/brikis98/nodejs-vs-play-framework
Kotlin, a high-performance, statically typed “pragmatic language” that leverages the environment of Java Virtual Machine, has reached its official 1.0 release milestone. Created by IDE makers JetBrains, Kotlin — like many other non-Java languages that run on the JVM — is meant to run where Java runs and make use of the existing culture of Java libraries and tooling. Java, in turn, can use items built in Kotlin.

This idea isn’t new — Nodejitsu wrote a great description of isomorphic JavaScript architecture in 2011 — but it’s been slow to adopt. There have been a few isomorphic frameworks to spring up already. Mojito was the first open-source isomorphic framework to get any press. It’s an advanced, full-stack Node.js-based framework, but its dependence on YUI and Yahoo!-specific quirks haven’t led to much popularity in the JavaScript community since they open sourced it in April 2012.
