A good film: The Last Valley

November 22nd, 2008

An easy saturday afternoon trying to render my house clean. Clean up the bathroom, the pavements and so on. The last thing is: iron, a little torture.

So subdue to my destiny I iron watching television and this movie starts: “The Last Valley” with two great actors Micheal Caine and Omar Sharif. A little surprise, a movie that I don’t know.

A story set in the17th centur:

People in a small German village in the last valley to    remain untouched by the devastating Thirty Years’  War try to exist in peace with a group of soldiers occupying the valley.

A story about war and a story about religion. A nice surprise in this common afternoon.

And remember as The Captain (Micheal Caine) says Father Sebastian: “God is a legend”.

Just facts: (C++ || Java || Php || Ruby || Python) && (J2EE || Ruby on Rails || Zope || TurboGears || Django)

All together right now. A simple and impartial post from Doxaliber about web development (in Italian):

Php, Python, Ruby per lo sviluppo web. Un’analisi.

He describes the situation today and shows the fact that PHP is the fast way to deploy a web application, true and sad. Following again a simple and brillian video (in English) about “A practical comparison between Zope/Plone, Ruby on Rails, Turbogears and J2EE”, the author (Sean Kelly) is an expertise in these technologies:

Indie Way and Taste

November 9th, 2008

I like a lot of things, like everybody, but I don’t have any religion. I looked for a way in the past, a true way, my way. Maybe I found it, maybe I found it about two years ago, after a bad period. Only now I realize it: it’s Indie, Indie way. It’s a taste, I call it the Indie taste.
It started with Indie music, little production, raw sounds, no middle-man:

Indie does not mean underground, don’t mean few fans, Indie mean a way to do it and it’s stunning his beauty.
It’s a taste in that beauty, it’s a nous.
So stop words and let me listen one masterpiece of indie-lo-fi In the
Aeroplane Over the Sea from Neutral Milk Hotel

New programming language

November 8th, 2008

If you know a programming language (from here only lang) then every body told to you that for learning a new lang you need only 1-2 week. This affermation is totally wrong. Because 7-14 days are in the middle of nowhere.

In order to learn new lang syntax you need 1-2 days, in order to learn the philosophy of new lang you need at least 2 month. Therefore 7-14 days are totally a big CRAP. Simple and petty.

Do you agree?

Dedicated to all the teachers (especially academic old teachers).
