As for the language itself, Groovy is essentially a script language using JVM as a virtual machine, which also supports scripts for Java applications. Due to JVM, it can work directly with Java classes using its syntax and script features and can even add dynamic features to the existing Java classes. Writing a script for Java is not a problem as Java realizations can be written in many script languages (Jython, JRuby, Rhino, etc.), but Groovy as an alternative to writing a Java bite code is interesting enough. Groovy supports all the main features of script languages... read more →
Another useful service is connected with e-commerce. Currently a new term “one-man shop” was introduced with regard to the Internet applications. It means that all aspects of one e-shop are managed by various companies, each of them specializing in managing one particular aspect of this shop, and its owner just manages interactions between these companies. In this schema, for example, a person who wants to open his or her own e-shop doesn’t have to hire an accountant to manage their e-shop finances, they simply find a specialized company that provides accountant services for such businesses, and all calculations and financial management of the e-shop are conducted by this company. The owner doesn’t have to worry about logistics but simply hires another company that will be responsible for this. It is necessary just to manage interactions between these companies in a most convenient way. The point here is that each company in the business chain specializes in its own area thus improving the whole business process of the company they are servicing... read more →
Web 2.0 is not just a new way for developing applications but it is an absolutely new business model. And everything connected to new ways of making money is always popular in our world. At present, when everybody is speaking about Web 2.0, it mostly concerns marketing rather than new technologies. You can find Web.2.0 mentioned more often in the context of design than business. Clients usually ask: “I want the design in Web.2.0 style”. But this is absolutely wrong; Web 2.0 is not about design at all! Moreover, in my opinion, now it is too early to use the term Web 2.0 because it is not just a new technology but a new approach to the information management that has not completely defined yet... read more →

In all the talks about web development that have been going on for the last half a year, you may have heard the name of this widely discussed framework, called Ruby on Rails. Even the famous jBoss Seam is often positioned as a competitor for RoR. My curiosity drove me to play a bit with the latter. First things first – let’s begin with the language. Ruby is positioned as a hybrid between Smalltalk, Perl, etc. Its object model is actually similar to the Smalltalk model, which cannot but please. And what is more, the principles of “minimum efforts” and “least surprise” are sensible enough. What annoys me about it is its Perl-like syntax. Of course, you can write with usual syntax, but some strange code may as well be unreadable... read more →
