Hangout for experimental confirmation and demonstration of software, computing, and networking. The exercises don't always work out. The professor is a bumbler and the laboratory assistant is a skanky dufus.

Sorting the Mail: Agile Databases, Vulnerable Applications, and Optimized Code

ACM News Service: Quick Picks.  I don’t have time to dig into these deeper, but I don’t want to lose them, either:

• “Join the Evolution” — Scott Ambler’s invitation to “Agile Database Techniques.” I’m interested in the modeling, refactoring, and coupling issues.  I’m also curious how much business entities are able to adhere to the problem space rather than be solution-space artifacts.
• “Developers’ Growing Challenge” — Peter Coffee’s eWeek article on the problems of vulnerabilities in line-of-business applications and how developers are ill-equipped to deal with it and soon tools will make it harder.  Now there’s a challenge for simplifying rather than covering over fragile complexity.
• “Researchers Speed, Optimize Code With New Open Source Tools” — This is about optimization of computer codes for certain large-scale computations.  It would be interesting to see how generic this is and what its domain of application could turn out to be.  (This goes deep in my files, but filed it is.)
