Current Development Environment

I wanted to start to keep track of all the development environment setup I've been doing lately so I can more quickly adapt other workstations or laptops I come across. Here is the start of that note taking...

Dividing Numbers Without Using the Dividing Operator

First Spring Entries

I've been battling Spring's transaction management over the past few days and I've been developing both a declarative and a programmatic example for my HeapRoots report application (more to come on this later). Now that I've knocked out most of the issues, I'm going to craft a Journal entry illustrating the two implementations. Look for it by the end of this weekend.

Website Changes

I'm finally getting around to building my website and I'm still working on what all I want to do with it. I think there are several components I need to flesh out: my technical references, my journals on Spring and Performance, and how to approach my blog.

I'm sticking to the Drupal engine since I've used it before, but I have a lot to learn about what is available. I'm looking forward to having a repository of information now online, rather than a collection of links and notes local on my desktop. Hopefully I'll stick with it this time!

There's not a lot of good sites on the topic as a lot of performance analysis is a black art, but I hope to catalog and save good articles I find as well as interesting stories from my experiences.
