36 Minutes to Get Back On Track
I had a 36 minute-long revelation this past Monday while watching this screencast by Sean Kelly.
Sean spends 36 minutes developing two toy applications in each of 5 different frameworks (1 Java, 1 Ruby and 3 Python). The basic gist of the screencast is “why Java/J2EE sucks for web-app development”. I felt he made a tremendously compelling case.
Everything he covered felt very familiar to me. He presents the subject much better than I’ve yet been able to.
I’ve recommended this video to everyone I know doing development. I can’t recommend it strongly enough. It’s 36 minutes that might just help you get your development projects back on track.
