<$BlogItemTitle$> Welcome to Orcmid's Lair, the playground for family connections, pastimes, and scholarly vocation -- the collected professional and recreational work of Dennis E. Hamilton

 
An opinion piece to counter a Harvard Business Review article that took the position that IT Doesn't matter any longer, in that it is ubiquitous and conveys no more advantage.

This is a column, apparently, and the one that I am presented with is about Learning Objects, which is apparently about education, not Objects.

Good heavens, an article (actually a piece of criticism) by Brian Cantwell Smith in 1985. My, my. And I just discovered a whole series of Microsoft Press books on foo Inside Out. I should have spotted that -- I have one of them.

Here's an interesting MSDN article on Web Application security.

.nbsp; This change to Blogger that has me log in all of the time when I click "Blog this" is very annoying, as is the funny number that shows up in this little note pane. I have to erase it every time.

OK, why are we here. Because the IEEE is working on some standards that include message formats for incident management. This is tied to work on an intelligent transportation system, but incident management messages apply in lots of contexts and are related to IT events, disaster recovery, and other important areas. A place to come back to once I can get the IEEE web site to behave.

And don't you hate it when you get linked to a PDF file without the option of deciding whether you want to go through that (especially if you don't have the plug-in or it is not working!) or not.

.  This article is about cyberjacking and the increasing criminality of hacking and spamming activity.

.  An article on work being done to experiment using an expanding Internet shadow universe.  This may be a place for collaborative work and also distributed Miser operation.

.  Here's a nice article on how to prepare for a dissertation and manage it through to completion. A funny kind of article, in one sense, but has some nice tidbits.

The Code Project - Embed ActiveX controls inside Java GUI - Java Programming.  Something very interesting to dig into as we get going here on the ins and outs of Java.

Java Software Solutions - PriceGrabber.com - Comparison Shopping Beyond Compare.  This is the weird way I found out about Java Software Solutions: Foundations of Program Design (updated July 2002 edition).

Finding order in complexity: Max Rahder.  Here's a familiar-looking curriculum with a Primer and a Foundations course. The motivation is one I subscribe to. I wonder who is the author of what?

Introduction to Java - Peter Baeumle-Courth.  Here's an introduction for C++ programmers that touches on foundational issues for Java.

Onsite Java: Java training at your site..  There is a Java Primer and a Java Foundations course. The PDF outline of the Foundations course is interesting. It might even fit what I am looking for as an introduction for developers and advanced students.

IDG.net.  Well, the IDG guys have aggregated and framed the Weintraub article. OK, let's see what happens if I search for my second-choice title.

Java Beans Programming from the Ground Up (Ground Up Series) by O'Neil, Joseph (Osborne McGraw-Hill).  OK, a whole Ground Up Series. Tsk, tsk.

Java Syntax from the Ground Up (Java in a Nutshell).  Oh, and a chapter in the on-line version of Java in a Nutshell. My goodness. Well, it is nice to know that book is on-line and can also be reviewed for ground-up ideas.

javajunkies.org (1107) Learning Java from the ground up.  And yet another use of the phrase.  OK, I get it, the title doesn't work for my next book! I have another idea, but meanwhile, I want to capture all of these nice threads on getting started.

Learn Java from the ground up.  Oops, I was thinking that Java From the Ground Up would be a great title for introducing people to Java from a foundation perspective. Maybe I can't use that. On the other hand, this Java 101 material from a March 2000 JavaWorld series is useful to compare and explore and refer people to who are having trouble getting started.

ACM: Ubiquity - A Designing Life: Blade Kotelly.  This is just wonderful.  Simply wonderful.  Why is Computer Programming 4 Everyone (CP4E) for Everyone? Because we are all designers, every one.  This goes into my must-read notice to all my classmates in the M.Sc in IT OOP through Java course.
