In general, I do not repost articles written by others, but this one got my attention. Sean Toner write this nice article about Functional programming and the notion of Pure functions. Have a read on DZone: Functional Programming Is Not What You (Probably) Think
This post is part of a multipart series about creating a graph off all available Maven dependencies. In the article for the Neo4j extension I described the input for the extension. This article describes the model that is used to create the required JSon. I start of with a small introduction to Vertices and edges before going into the implementation. Vertices and Edges In mathematics, and more specifically in graph theory, a vertex (plural vertices) or node is the fundamental unit of which graphs are formed: an undirected graph consists of a set of vertices and a set of edges (unordered pairs of vertices), while a directed graph consists of a set of vertices and a set of arcs (ordered pairs of vertices).
This post is part of a multipart series about creating a graph off all available Maven dependencies. Resolving maven dependencies is something we in general leave to our dependency management system, Maven, Ivvy, …. For the purpose to the application we are developing we required a detailed control on how the the dependencies are resolved and the JSon representation of this sub-graph. I start off with a short intro on where to find documentation on the Maven resolving mechanism and then go into the details for each of the parts that are required to do so.
Submodules with git Just recently a was working on a presentation for a event that my boss organizes. I stumbled across a nice thing you can do with Git. The presentation is created in Reveal.js the aspect that i like about it that you can treat your presentation as code. Still working on the subject to do it with AsciiDoc. On the latter; The documentation says it should be easy but I do not have enough control on the output.
