@deepakl_2000 I haven’t read a Java book in ages so not sure I can recommend the best.

I started off with Java 1.1, which was the material in Java In A Nutshell, 1st Edition. This was the version that had AWT but not Swing. And I also had a copy of Visual J++, and was REALLY frustrated that half of the code in that book DIDN'T WORK!!!!

You didn't know? Spotify is the ONLY shop that has a shot at taking both YouTube and Amazon down a peg or two. * They scooped up Anchor and are becoming one of the top players in podcast sourcing including support for video podcasting. We simply livestream on YouTube through StreamYard, then grab the result and drop it on Spotify along with the same thumbnail and text (reformatted into HTML courtesy of ChatGPT. * They bought Findaway Voices and thus have the largest audio book distribution outside of Amazon/Audible. Spotify knows that content creation is growing exponentially and are going wide!

@chrylis Pretty sure that was the same bundle I bought. I think was Visual J++ with NT threw in on the side. And I jumped at it for that reason.

I had a copy once with my copy of Windows NT. It had the coffee cup logo. It could run maybe half of the code in Java In A Nutshell.

1. I’ve mentioned SQL as the “first” DSL for quite some time. It’s evident that a sub language aimed at data querying that is simple and easy to read his this mark. 2. Even more importantly, the market has spoken. SEQUEL was built to be “reachable” by more than old gray neck beards. And reach it has. A past colleague of mine once said “SQL isn’t rocket science.” And he was right. And easy to use declarative query language has cemented relational database access across the industry. When seasoned pro coders, fledgling beginner coders, business analysts, and even program managers can approach SQL and harvest value everybody wins. And a winning solution will continue being used. 3. We tried ORMs. And they are still somewhat popular. But people putting them back on the shelf when confronted with challenging situations. Performance issues. Impedance mismatches. ORMs are proving to NOT be the universal solution that SQL is. Yes, don’t let your users provide unsanitized inputs to your queries. Doh! I have spoken with industry veterans than when confronted with hard requirements often must shed every ounce of unneeded “help” possible and get their hands directly on the SQL. Sounds like SEQUEL may have hit its original objectives quite well.

The original SEQUEL paper from 1974 is mostly focused on the "console language" use case that Uncle Bob highlighted. Used in this way, SEQUEL enabled direct querying by business analysts that wouldn't know what Edgar Codd meant by "first-order predicate calculus" in his

Five of my sites got hacked. EVERYTHING is up for grabs. One had been built up with a python script run by GitHub actions published to GitHub pages replacing the previous Wordpress site creating my own bit.ly. It’s a LOT faster now. Another has been my personal name site. It too was Wordpress. Now it’s statically generated @astrodotbuild site run by GitHub actions published to GitHub pages. It’s a LOT faster now and easier to manage. I’m in the middle of rewriting my @ProCoderShow site and using a lightweight shopping cart service that may let me ditch a couple more expensive SaaS tools, cutting costs in half. It’s also MUCH faster! And with Cloudflare in the equation, caching static html will be MUCH better!
