Software Development

Preserve browser history for dynamic web apps - JavaScript-driven pages need URLs too.

Content delivery networks serve static assets faster from servers near users, doubling perceived performance.

Images and scripts kill load time - reduce file count, leverage caching, and watch metrics plummet.

Cache HTTP headers from JBoss using servlet filters - control what browsers keep and for how long.

JSPs are bottlenecks; cache content sections to cut generation time, free up threads faster.

100ms slower = 1% sales drop (Amazon). Half-second delays tank Google traffic 20% - speed is revenue.

Page load speed directly impacts user behavior - ATG apps need tuning across HTML, DOM, and assets.

ATG performance isn't magic. Proven strategies cut costs and lift conversions on complex e-commerce apps.

Yahoo Mail silently kills your emails despite clean records. Switch to Gmail and actually receive messages.

Free Seam cheat sheet from DZone - lookup annotations, schemas, and patterns in seconds.

SSH_OPEN_ADMINISTRATIVELY_PROHIBITED error in Subclipse? Add -Dsvnkit.ssh2.persistent=false to eclipse.ini to fix it.

Prevent form submission spam in ATG with JavaScript - disable buttons properly without breaking the handle method.

Accidentally deleted entire ATG installation with bad build config - Time Machine restored it from wireless backup in minutes.

Google's Protocol Buffers: XML binding but faster and simpler, with automatic parsing and serialization built in.

SSO bridge between JForum and Atlassian Crowd syncs user groups automatically - no separate forum login needed.

Web 2.0 promised innovation but delivered startups layering trivial value on others' data with zero revenue plans.

ATG development processes deserve documentation, but urgent projects come first.

A corrupted repeating event spawned 12,000+ calendar instances, clogging iCal. TextMate regex saved the day.

ATG license validation checks /etc/hosts hostname mapping, not JBoss IP binding - counterintuitive and easy to misconfigure.

ATG project roles: client rep, PM, architect, analyst - a baseline team structure that adapts to your needs.
