How to list clients’ feedback in a way that shows that you have many clients and they are spread globally? Thanks to the huge amount of feedbacks, our previous edition of References page turned to look like the Star Wars story-telling. We decided that Google Maps will do the job. I should note that the site engine, developed by Sibers, was created using Sophit framework... read more →
You are likely to know that RichTextBox supports word wrap. But not everyone has a clue how to actually manage word wrapping.

ecently I’ve decided to make a short review of JavaFX which represents another case of a good idea implemented poorly. The idea behind JavaFX is very simple – developer creates an interface oriented application using some script. Then this application can be launched from a web browser, desktop, or even from J2ME. First point: JavaFX Mobile... read more →

Former versions of ActionScript seemed to be more of a Flash appendix, therefore I didn’t study them in detail. This new third one claims to be something for big guys. Here are the big guy’s impressions... read more →
Google again and again proves its high class. It has released a wonderful creation for most projects, especially small and mid-sized. The new Guice can perform annotation based dependecy injection (without any xml nightmare (Spring), fast and elegant) and aop (based on aop alliance)... read more →
