Seth Ladd on Google Dart Seth Ladd is a “Google Advocate”. In this talk he speaks about Google Dart and explains why it is cool (and yes, I agree it is cool). This is a pretty nice brown bag with a size of 70 minutes. If you still have no clue on Dart look at [...]

GTUG – Google Dart Talk (with Seth Ladd)
Thursday, December 8th, 2011Bookreview: Apache Maven 3 Cookbook
Thursday, December 8th, 2011In my limited spare time I was reading the Apache Maven 3 Cookbook by Srirangan. It is (as the title suggests) from the Cookbook series which aims to provide answers to commons problems. One could say, it some kind of FAQ, just that it goes deeper very often. After reading the great and very useful [...]
Android AutoComplete with JSON Data served by Struts 2
Monday, December 5th, 2011Recently I decided not to use Phonegap/Callback for my new Android app but to build it native. With IntelliJ the first steps were so straightforward and promising that I was excited to work in the Java language, which is more natural to me than JavaScript. So far I have not regret my decision, except that [...]

Monday, November 28th, 2011A small surprise for me too – have not thought I would write an article for the PHPMagazin this year. But it actually happened – it is about my current favorite topic Dart. Enjoy the reading and as always: feedback welcome!
Dart: Creating a dynamic list with Dart, PHP and JSON
Sunday, November 20th, 2011Using an ajax request to update the dom with data from a server is a standard use case in todays web programming. With Dart this task is pretty trivial. In this blog post I would like to describe how one can use Dart to connect to a server running a PHP script. In addition, the [...]
Adobe Flex coming to the Apache Software Foundation?
Thursday, November 17th, 2011I sense a pattern: after Google Wave (remember?), OpenOffice.org, Symphony and so on now Adobe seem to have plans to donate Flex to the Apache Software Foundation. I was looking yesterday at the Spoon Projects homepage, were I got the impression that Flex will go to there. But now even there the announcement has changed: [...]
Create PDF files with Cocoon 3 and Struts 2
Tuesday, November 15th, 2011Finally I came to the situation with Time & Bill that I need to create invoices. Of course, invoices need to be downloadable in the PDF format. First I thought I would use Apache PDFBox. My idea was to upload some kind of template pdf an replace some strings with my content. But I failed; [...]
Dart on the W-JAX 2011
Friday, November 11th, 2011Thanks to my friends from Software & Support Media I have been invited to the W-Jax 2011 to speak about Dart. This was very exciting and a great experience! The room was full with ~70 people, most of them Java developers. We talked about the current state, some syntax and the future of Dart. Finally [...]
Dart Isolates
Tuesday, November 8th, 2011Dart is very young but also a very promising language. You can write it similar to JavaScript, but it can also look like Java. In JavaScript there is no real multithreading. Just the Chrome Browser currently does some magic and spawns multiple threads for some tasks. But a developer cannot rely “maybe” and “probably”.
