One of my favorite things about the life journey that I find myself on is that I’m always learning. Every. Single. Day.
Some days I learn something new… most days I learn something new, actually. But then there are the days when I am reminded of something I learned years ago but have somehow forgotten for a time.
The Mythical Person Month is one such topic. It is a distinct and important lesson that I have learned many times now it seems.
Over the course of this blog, I will be focusing on using Bloom Filters in Java development. Weโll briefly talk through what they are and why theyโre handy, and then weโll dive into a hypothetical use case and tutorial.
As a note, this post is just meant to get you started on the track to using a Bloom Filter in the wild. What we discuss here will stay high-level but will give you a general idea of how it would work on a project.
Without further ado, letโs get started.
So youโre a Java programmer, and you want to take your skills to a higher level. Iโm going to suggest you take a project and go old school.
Over the course of this blog, Iโll explain what โgoing old schoolโ means as well as give you some tips and tricks to get started. Weโre going to step away from most modern tools and go back to the basics, so you gain a deeper understanding of what Java is and how it works. By the end, you should be well on your way to improving your Java skill set.
In this blog post, I will demonstrate a technique to query the status of a SQL Server Agent job that executes the SSIS package. SQL Server Agent scripts are asynchronous in nature. This can make it difficult to make code decisions based on the execution status of a script of this type.
This one is just for fun. Iโve been using FreeBSD off and on since the late 90โs when a good friend, who has since passed, introduced me to the operating system.
Recently, for personal reasons, Iโve decided to move away from the big IT providers and install FreeBSD on my primary desktop for personal use. Just so itโs clear, I still use the operating system my client uses for work, but for my own personal desktop and coding projects, Iโve decided to once again install and run FreeBSD.
This post is not a tutorial, but letโs take some time to look at using this โUnix-likeโ operating system for real-world situations, such as developing Java applications for fun and profit.
