Seven from IBM: db40, memory management, scripting, speed wizards…
Jul 6, 2007 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — 1 viewsIBM has published the following new technical articles, tutorials, and downloads on its DeveloperWorks and AlphaWorks websites. They cover a range of interesting (though not necessarily embedded) technical topics, primarily related to Linux and open source system development. Some require free registration. Enjoy . . . !
- Beyond Simple Objects in Java db4o — So far, creating objects and manipulating them in db4o looks pretty easy — maybe a little too easy, in fact. In this article, db4o enthusiast Ted Neward shows you what happens when simple objects become structured ones (that is, objects that reference objects) and issues like infinite recursion, cascading behavior, and referential integrity come into play.
- Improve Your Memory Programming — Do you find yourself constantly being bogged down in programs that leak memory, violate memory bounds, use uninitialized data, and devote an excessive amount of run time to memory management? Use this article to help you conquer these pesky memory defects.
- Build Intelligent, Unattended Scripts — Building scripts and running them automatically is a task that every good administrator has to handle, but how do you handle the error output and make intelligent decisions about how the script should handle these errors? This article addresses these issues.
- Build a rich Eclipse Plugin — This isn't just about building a new plug-in for Eclipse, although it covers that in fine detail. In the process of building the plug-in for Eclipse, you learn how to use features of the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) to quickly step through the article. I'll also show you how to extend parts of the Eclipse IDE to add rich functionality to your plug-in. After completion, you should be able to use the Eclipse IDE plug-in development wizard to build a new plug-in.
- First look at Eclipse Speed Wizards — This article demonstrates the art of using powerful Eclipse wizards that automates the creation of classes, interfaces, projects, other resources. Eclipse wizards are a great way to define repeatable templates for file types when the built-in template functionality won't suffice. After working through this information, you will be able to implement your own speed wizards in Eclipse to create enhanced functionality very quickly.
- Ramble Around the UNIX File System — Many directories in the UNIX file system serve a special purpose, and certain directories are named per long-standing convention. In this installment of the “Speaking UNIX” series, discover where UNIX stores important files.
- How DB2 Express-C Saved the World! — You think you have data management problems? See what happens to developer, Justin Whitney, when he is presented with a large, mysterious (and dangerous) XML data set. This is a interesting video of how the free DB2 Express-C handles large XML problems with its pure XML functionality and how DB2 Express-C saves the day for him.
