Markdown revolution

Markdown format is rapidly spreading and its support is becoming a “must have” for the wiki provider and not only for them. From developers perspective the fact that GIthub supports flavour markdown has forced them to learn it (that is also my case) and currently the markdown know-how is considered a plus in development skill (assuming documentation as part of it).
However Markdown has dramatically simplified the way to write (especially) technical documentation, making such task pretty straightforward

Introduction

The Information Technology is always moving on looking to the future. From software development perspective for a long time Java and .Net has ruled the Enterprise development, providing robust and reliable Architectures based on mature Technology Stack.

Now seems that the game is changing and is the Javascript that is driving this big change. Obviously all of us recognize Javascript as main actor in HTML5 technology but when  Node.js technology has took the field then the real change has started.

Summarizing... The main objective of such next gen technologies is to fullfill the same requirements but doing it in much simpler & flexible way

Technology Stack Goals

In order to have a good Architecture we need to rely on a Technology Stack that accomplishes the basic goals outlined below:

• Performance and scalability
• Ease of use
• Testability and testable system

 We have identified the "NEXT GEN ARCHITECTURE COMPONENTS" shown in the table below:

Blueprint

Conclusion

I've tested it and I strongly believe that such kind of Architecture will become fastly the Reference Architecture for Enterprise

What's is interesting

JITSI (aka sip communicator) is very complete open source java platform to make video chat and call.

The JITSI Team has decided to make available to third party java application their JITSI MEDIA LIBRARY under LGPL

This library provides:

• Video capture and rendering on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
• Video codecs: H.264 and H.263 (VP8 coming in early 2013)
• Audio codecs: Opus, SILK, G.722, Speex, ilbc, G.711 (PCMU, PCMA), G.729 (get your licences first though).
• Security: SRTP (with ZRTP or SDES)
• RTP DTMF (RFC 2833/RFC 4733)
• RTP audio levels (RFC 6465)
• … and all other media features in Jitsi

You can download libjitsi at the following locations:

At beginning "PlantUML Server"

As states in a previous article "PlantUML - a DSL for creating UML Diagrams", PlantUML is a great way to create & share UML diagrams quickly & easily.

PlantUML already provided a sort of "cloud solution" named "PlantUML Server" which was mostly a kind of "Proof Of Concept" to give an idea of its functionalities

And finally "PlantText"

To allow use git connecting to subversion server there is a package called git-svn which includes connectors between the two systems. Upon upgrading to the Mavericks, git svn stopped working with the following error

The problem here is that the git svn command requires Perl libraries that aren’t linked in Mavericks (or Mountain Lion). So, we’ll have to manually link them. Run the following in your terminal to link the library:

$ sudo ln -s  /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Perl/5.16/darwin-thread-multi-2level/SVN /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.16/SVN

Now when you run git svn clone you will likely be presented with a different error. This is good because it indicates progress! But obviously poor because it’s not working.

So now it appears it can find the Subversion core, but cannot find some other libraries it requires. Issue the following command to remedy this:

$ sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Perl/5.16/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/SVN/ /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.16/auto/SVN

After that all shold be on the way

In this article we show you how to set $JAVA_HOME environment variable on Mac OSX 10.5 or later.

Set the $JAVA_HOME variable to /usr/libexec/java_home, just export $JAVA_HOME in file ~/. bash_profile or ~/.profile as shown below

 
$ vim .bash_profile 
 
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
 
$ source .bash_profile
 
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home

You agreed with me that Monitoring & Control of application is a core feature.

Java Management Extension (JMX)

JMX is the standard to Monitor & Control java application. JMX API is defined and under maintenance release of the Java Specification Request (JSR) number 3. JMX defines the API for management of Java applications, and those API are local to the application.

JSR 160 (JMX Remoting)

To fill this gap, JSR 160 extends JSR 3 by providing a standard API to connect to remote JMX-enabled applications.
Currently, JSR 160 has defined a mandatory connector based on RMI (that supports both RMI/JRMP and RMI/IIOP), and an optional one based on sockets and Java serialization (JMXMP).

The Jolokia project

Jolokia is a JMX-HTTP bridge giving an alternative to JSR-160 connectors. It is an agent based approach with support for many platforms. In addition to basic JMX operations it enhances JMX remoting with unique features like bulk requests and fine grained security policies. Read More ... >>

Description

With Xcode 4.2 (iOS 5) Apple introduce ARC (Automatic Reference Counting) to help with memory management. Basically you no longer need to call retain or release. However current examples/books (and (open source) libraries) are still doing it. This leads to (annoying) errors like:

ARC forbids explicit message send of ‘retain’

To get rid of this error you need to disable ARC, but how? Here is what you need to do in Xcode:

Solution

• Select your project file.
• You should be in the “Build settings” tab. Select the “levels” option (default is “Combined”)
• There’s a search field to the right of “Combined”. Enter “Automatic”
• Second group should be “Apple LLVM Compiler 3.0 – Language”. Second line under that controls ARC.
• Click that line, then in the middle column (where it says “yes”), click and choose “no”.
