THE VIEW 2008 Technical Supplement available for download
THE VIEW 2008 Technical Solutions Supplement is now available for download from THE VIEW at no charge. Although you will likely pick up a hardcopy at some conference this year it never hurts to have the PDF as well. The supplement features a short piece by yours truly called "Use a blackbox to bolster your Sametime Connect buddy list with business card data".
Learning the ropes (pun intended)
I discovered this article through my developerWorks subscription and it was an interesting read. I picked up on the article since I do a lot of String manipulation in LotusScript.doc but hardly in the the 50MB range as described in the article. Still I think you should read the article if you
- like to learn new API's
- like to think outside the box
- do stuff in Java
Article abstract:
"Systems that manipulate large quantities of string data are poorly served by the Java language's default String and StringBuilder classes. A rope data structure can be a better alternative. This article introduces Ropes for Java, a rope implementation for the Java platform; explores performance issues; and provides pointers for effective use of the library."
