Programmers Java or .Net?

I am a Java guy. But I am not unfair at all. Both are very solid platforms to build large systems if you are knowledgeable. One thing I like about Java(java is not just a language. It is in fact a platform or a culture) is that we have so many solid open source frameworks. You can basically build a large quality system without paying a money for licence fees. Here is my preferred power stack
Front End: Spring MVC+FLexMiddle or Eclipse
Tier: Spring
BackEnd: IBatis or Hibernate
DataBase: MySql
Application Server: JBoss or Simply Tomcat
OS: Linux(Ubuntu)

Of course, the developers should be very strong. Those who can code only with an IDE will not cut it. Also, scripting languages like Perl,Python or Ruby are solid and efficient languages too. A lot of small projects can be done using these scripting languges such as text manipulation and process monitoring, reporting but this include autosys job tools. Above all is OOP, algorithms and data structures. These 3 three things are far more important than knowing a particular language.

What is Subprime?

With all the buzz going on about the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the $700 billion bailout plan, and the US financial crisis and its impact on Philippine banks, the word “subprime” suddenly gained notoriety in mainstream media.
What exactly is this subprime mortgage problem? We already discussed this concept more than a year ago (See The US Subprime Mortgage Problem - explained in simple terms), but for those looking for a simpler explanation, you’re in luck.
Here’s a Powerpoint presentation that humorously but accurately explain “subprime.”

Download here the Subprime 101 - A simple but funny explanation of the US Subprime Problem Powerpoint file.

Enjoy =)

Malupit na pam-banat ng mga romantikong programmer......

"You are a field in my class. You will always be protected."

"Are you an exception? Let me catch you."

"You are my increment operator. You make my value increase."

"I think you're my compiler. My life wouldn't start without you."

"You are my semicolon; always present in everything I do."

"You are the JDK (Java Development Kit) in my life. I won't compile without you."

"If I were a method, you must be my parameter, because I will always need you."

"Can you be my private variable? I want to be the only one with access to you."

"We are an aggregation of classes: one cannot exist without the other."

"public class YourWorld extends MyWorld"

"My love is a for loop without the increment operator-- infinitive, non-terminating, and dificult to stop once it starts running."

"Let me be the 'throws Exception' to your 'public static void main (String[] args)'. I will accept whatever you give me."

"[me != me]. [me += you]."

"You are my superclass: you define what I can do."

"You are the IDE of my life: I find it easier because of you."

"My main method is 'public love iLoveYou().' "

"I am the field attribute in your class: I can't exist unless you do."

"My love for you is a constant variable: unupdatable and unchangeable."

"You are my loop condition. I keep coming back to you."

"You are my methods. I am nothing without you."

"Are you my driver? Because you make my life worthwhile."

"You are my API. I want to know everything about you."

"Can you be my ActionListener? That way you notice everything that I do."

"I am a boolean method whose love will always return true."

"Buti pa ang Strings, nag-mamatch."

"Buti pa ang data type, may value."

"Buti pa ang Swing components, may Listeners."

"String myHeart = "I Love You";
String[] herWords = myHeart.split(" ");
return null;"
"My love for you comes with no strings attached."

"Are you a double? The thought of you always floats inside my head."

"My love for you cannot be measured with an int, not with a long, and not even with an array. It is out of bounds and infinite.... "
