Design Patterns in XML Applications 08/28/2002 01:57 AM
Adequate documentation of the experience gained during the development of XML-based systems is a prerequisite for XML's success as a widely used technology. Design patterns have proved to be a very good technique for transmitting, and to some extent formalizing, knowledge about recurring problems and solutions in the software development process. -- Fabio Arciniegas A.

Designing schemas that support data evolution is beneficial in situations where the structure of the XML documents being processed may change as the application matures, but still need to be validated with the original schema.

Book review: J2EE Design Patterns

Book review: J2EE Design Patterns 12/02/2003 01:51 AM
In case you're not up to date on what design patterns are, let's do a quick crash course before we jump into a book review on the subject. Design patterns were thrust into the software development mainstream by the book Design Patterns in 1995 (aka the GoF book). A pattern involves three components: first, a description of a generalized recurring problem; second, an abstract solution that is generally accepted; and third, a name for the sake of convenience. Patterns save time and effort by supplying developers with a shared language when discussing common problems. O'Reilly's new J2EE Design Patterns book is a timely, easy-to-read catalog of architectural patterns specific to the J2EE platform.

Software Companies Realizing The
Benefits Of User Exchanges

Software Companies Realizing The
Benefits Of User Exchanges 06/10/2004 09:49 AM
Proprietary software companies are still experimenting with "open source-like" offerings to try to improve their own products. A few months back we wrote about the softwar e cooperative idea - which was basically open source software for companies that only members could share. Since it cost $30,000 to become a member it was more like open source with a $30,000 entrance fee. Meanwhile, many proprietary software companies have been doing quite well setting up "user exchanges" where their end users can trade modifications and add-ons to their software for free. The companies that do this have found it beneficial in many ways - since they get a core group of loyal users who are generating improvements on their software. However, many companies are apparently shying away from such exchanges, worried that (a) they'll detract from commercial add-on development or (b) it opens them up to legal liability if such a third party add-on causes problems. The companies that rely heavily on these exchanges (including IBM, Adobe and Macromedia) insist they've had no problems - and that the benefits have been well worth it. This is yet another case where some companies realize the value of something that's "free" when it's viewed as an input resource, rather than an end-product.

Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club, Choke: A Novel, Survivor) is back. Of course, in a community like K5, where Fight Club quotes in signature lines are considered cliche, Palahniuk needs little introdution. His most recent work, Stranger Than Fiction: True Stories presents a pastiche of interviews (Marilyn Manson, Juliette Lewis), articles and essays presented through the minimalist, dystopian perspective that is uniquely his own. In short, Chuck has a book to pimp and he is willing to do an interview with K5, so this is your chance to ask Chuck Palahniuk.

Thanks, Bloggies! BB wins best group
bl0g, and bl0g of the year! 03/14/2005 05:29 PM
Xeni Jardin: Boing Boing pal Scott Beale informs us that our blog just won Group Weblog of the Year at the Bloggies. OMG! What a huge honor! Thank you, Bloggies. We honestly didn't expect this, and we are deeply moved and grateful. There were many other deserving blogs up for awards, backed by talented folks who work very hard, and we raise our collective pirate-eye-patches in their honor: check 'em all out. On behalf of my blog-mates Cory Doctorow, Mark Frauenfelder, and David Pescovitz; our wise "band manager" John Battelle; our sysadmin par excellence Ken Snider; and the rest of the team and extended family that makes Boing Boing possible -- a humble thank you. But most of all, we are grateful to you, our readers, for wasting otherwise productive time on our collective scrapbook of "wonderful things," and for pointing us to even more of those wonderful and undiscovered things each day. We're really sorry that we couldn't make it to SXSW in person to accept the award, but we hope you'll join us in celebrating in person tomorrow at ETCON ( all five of us will be in the same place for the first time). Boing Boing sprouted online a little over five years ago, from paper zine roots planted by Mark Frauenfelder and Carla Sinclair. It is a privilege to blog for you. With you, we look forward to another adventurous year of link-discuss to come. Link

Update: Holy crap! Reader Nathaneal Heasley sez, "Not only did BB win best group ‘blog, it won “blog of the year/best weblog overall� – congratulations!" For those keeping track, this is the second year in a row Boing Boing has received these two awards: Link to 2004, Link to 2005. Man. We're speechless, and overwhelmed by your generosity.

Chuck Baldwin, prominent Baptist pastor:
"The Religious Right Scares
Me" 12/22/2004 01:19 AM
Dr. Chuck Baldwin, vice-presidential candidate on the Constitution Party ticket in the 2004 U.S. election, wrote a “Food For Thought From The Chuck Wagon” entitled I Am A Conservative Christian, And The Religious Right Scares Me, Too. Chuck Baldwin starts off demonstrating his Christian roots, e.g.I am currently in my thirtieth year as the Senior Pastor of the Crossroad Baptist Church (Independent) in Pensacola, Florida.Then he explains his opposition to the "Religious Right."Sadly, the Religious Right is now a movement without a cause, except the cause of advancing the Republican Party.[...] I used to believe that liberals were paranoid for being fearful of conservative Christians gaining political power. Now, I share their trepidation.
