I examine a hypothetical scenario of a growing medium size company that is planning to migrate to a cloud environment. I suggest an Amazon AWS cloud service as a possible solution and also cover deployment models as well as some very high-level implementation details and benefits of cloud PaaS services. [Read more…]
The following short post contemplates some of the often asked questions connected with referencing and discusses the importance of referencing in general.
In this article, I offer a couple of thoughts on what I believe to be the three most significant aspects of the successful research. I talk briefly about the definition of research first, then concentrate on describing the main characteristics and their importance. [Read more…]
The following article is a short visual on how to move remote desktop on Windows 10 from the default port 3389 to any other available port.
With the recent fast adoption of Internet and cloud environments, the focus of software development shifted from building single user type applications, into a realm of constructing software capable of handling numerous local or remote users. The core benefit of multi-user applications lies in their capacity to tolerate synchronized access from simultaneous users. Other advantages often include the ability to support different types of desktop and mobile devices using a variety of operating systems. [Read more…]
I am not using NetBeans myself but had to work with it on one of the projects. Here is a short guide on how to clone Github project into NetBeans.
The following post outlines the process of converting Aspell language dictionary for any language into Mysql or MariaDB database. [Read more…]
The Java recognizes the limited nature of abstract classes and interfaces and their inability to become an object or a traditional class. Nevertheless, it is the absence of the qualities above and the ability to use abstract classes in various objects that proves to be incredibly useful to developers. In this article, I briefly outline the possible application of abstract classes and interfaces as well as provide examples to highlight the contrast between them.
In this article, I illustrate the process of writing a simple Java program. [Read more…]
It happens from time to time that we have duplicate queries in our database Unique index type tables that are caused by difficult to detect carriage returns. The following method cleans up the database by first removing the hard returns, and then by removing the duplicates. [Read more…]
The following article explains why Java does not support operator overloading and looks at the exception of overloading strings in Java and outlines other concepts, such as method overloading.

Java recognizes three types of loops, namely ‘for,’ ‘while’ and ‘do-while’ loops that all accomplish the similar goals of iterating the block of code until a certain condition is met. The following article explores the differences between each of the loop variants and demonstrates the situations when choosing one type of loop over the other can be a benefit. There are many examples of using all three types of loops, but I’ve selected the general form and the infinite loop to illustrate the primary differences.
In the following article, I outline the process of making a simple interest calculator in Java and leveraging Swing GUI widget toolkit for Java. [Read more…]
Let’s say we have 3 arrays of following tetromino letters: J, L, O. Tetromino J is a 4 member long array (J[0],J[1],J[2],J[3]), signifying the number of positions J block can take. L tetromino is also a 4 member long array and O is a square tetromino that has only one position (1 member long array). How do we calculate the total number of all unique n-letter long permutations, without programmatically permuting through them? [Read more…]
Java offers eight primitive data types which are not always adequate to store data of all types. There are situations when the specific data type does not fit into any of the primitive data types offered by Java. Thus it is essential to understand the boundaries and restrictions of the primitive data types in Java. In this article, I demonstrate a couple of the scenarios in which the Java data types are not sufficient enough and require substitute approach.
