Ajax does have its detractors. Their argument goes as follows: Why
reinvent everything that has already been done on the desktop on an
inferior platform? I do agree that the attraction of Ajax is subjective

I?m excited about something web-based, show it to non-developer friends
and their only reaction is boredom. Then I...... (read more)

- Caught Between Two IDEs (Jul 03, 2009)

Eclipse a couple of years back, partly based on wide spread

just stopped working for me (it crashed out).
After I got started with IntelliJ I started to appreciate its
merits, despite a generally clunky interface (with lots of modal
windows), truly awful...... (read more)

- Dialog Boxes, Habituation, and Single Threaded Thought (Jun 24, 2009)

- Stress & Load Testing Web Apps (Even ADF & Apex) Using Apache JMeter (Jun 24, 2009)
