Steve done his job well

Posted on October 9, 2011 by Renjithlal

“Almost everything–all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure–these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

“I was worth over $1,000,000 when I was 23, and over $10,000,000 when I was 24, and over $100,000,000 when I was 25, and it wasn’t that important because I never did it for the money.”

GMail Man

Posted on July 30, 2011 by Renjithlal

Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft’s next generation productivity service. Office 365 is the culmination of experience delivering world class productivity solutions to people and businesses of all sizes. It brings together Office, SharePoint, Exchange, and Lync in an always-up-to-date cloud service.

Following is a parody video

The video begins by explaining the following scene is the opposite experience users will receive from using Microsoft Office 365. Enter the Gmail Man, the real life embodiment of Google, strolling the streets looking through emails for key-words like “volcano”, “zucchini” and “lava.”

When confronted by an outraged little girl, demanding to know how he can read through everyone’s mail, he explains, “Well, sometimes when a person really loves their Gmail very, very much, the two get together and an ad is born.”

Java 7 Released

Posted on July 29, 2011 by Renjithlal

Oracle has released Java Dolphin on July 28 ,2011

Java SE 7 has its first major update to the Java platform under oracle ownership.Oracle described Java SE 7 as “the result of industry-wide development involving open review, weekly builds and extensive collaboration between Oracle engineers and members of the worldwide Java ecosystem via the OpenJDK Community and the Java Community Process (JCP).”

Apache Lucene search engine project management committee (PMC) warned that Java SE7 contained bugs that could cause a Java Virtual Machines (JVM) to crash or affect applications

Dolphin Features

Posted on July 23, 2011 by Renjithlal

Some awesome features of Java 7

1. Null-safe Method invocation

NullPoniterException is one of the common encountered in Java programming.A programmer need to do a lot of null poiner check like (null != object) in coding. By the great feature we can do as follow.

public Long getMobileNumber(String empId){

return this.emp?.getContactDetails()?.getMobileNumber();

}

2.Using Strings in switch Statements

In Java SE 7 , you can use a String object in the switch statement’s
expression.

public class StringSwitchDemo {

public static int getMonthNumber(String month){

int monthNumber = 0;

if (month == null) { return monthNumber; }

switch (month.toLowerCase())

case “january”: monthNumber = 1; break

case “february”: monthNumber = 2; break;

case “march”: monthNumber = 3; break;

…………………………………….

default: monthNumber = 0; break; }

return monthNumber; }

public static void main(String… args) {

String month = “August”;

int returnedMonthNumber = StringSwitchDemo.getMonthNumber(month);

if (returnedMonthNumber == 0) {

System.out.println(“Invalid month”); }

else {

System.out.println(returnedMonthNumber);

} } }

3.Multiple exception catch block

Dolphin proposes a new syntax for catching multiple exceptions in a single
catch block

In Java 7, We will able to handle .

try{ // Some code that throws ServiceException and WebsiteException }

catch(CardNotFoundException | MyException exception) {

Logger.Log(exception);

throw ApplicationException(exception);

}

4.Bracket Notation for Collections Collection class we can think like an Array.

Instead of writing ,

Collection<String> month= new ArrayList();

month.ad(“January”); month.ad(“February”);month.ad(“March”);

we can write like ,

Collection<String> month =new ArrayList {“January”, “February”, “March”};

Oracle announced that the JDK 7 will be available on July 28, 2011.

Thanks and Regards,
