Also forgot this one, we also did this one as a team, same, we did the logic stuff and operations in a blank page and then wrote the code based on this.

Here’s a snip of the code:

Kind of the same as the WSQ06, we initialized the variables from the beginning, no constructor and a single class that makes two loops to get the whole process done.

It was my fault to post this at the very end of the course but, well, some people procrastinates real hard sometimes.

Here’s the link to Cesar’s Github.

Whoops, forgot to upload this one.

The WSQ is about making a Greatest Common Divisor or GCD for short.

Early java assigments in which we had to expore how to give a responsibility to a class.

If i can remember, Cesar Augusto, Cesar Cortez and me joined as a team to make this WSQ so we basically have the same code, we worked together to find out how could we solve this, it was kinda simple, first we make the calculus and logic on a blank paper then we translated it to Java.

Here’s a snip from the code:

First we initialized the varibles n and result. No constructor needed, we have a single class which basically does everything, add the x and y parameters. Enter a while loop in which it makes the whole GCD process which i can’t clearly recall right now, or increment the value of n, return the result and that’s what it’s print.

Made a new instance called gcd, used it trying 50 and 78 and evidently the GCD is 2.

Again, as a team we decided to only upload it to Cesar Augusto’s Github, so there it is.

Just finished Triangulation Episode 245 featuring James Gosling, the creator/inventor of probably the most used programming language in the world, Java.

Leo and him talked about some really interesting stuff here, but what really caught my eye was how it started as something simple and came to become the tool or language that revolutionized the entire world.

Don’t forget that Java is actually in millions and millions of devices, our PC, smartphones, Cars, Multimedia players, GPS Navigators, and may many more. We owe Gosling and his team a freaking LOT, the Internet itself developed a lot around Java and the world’s companies, communication and the whole Information Era happened because of this.

Another subject that seems interesing the whole controversy with companies such as Google, are not willing to pay for a licence for using Java or it’s API, and how Oracle sued them and later became unsuccesfull with the demand which resulted in Google not being charged, but hey! it didn’t end there, there is supposedly another trial in which Oracle calls for  9.3 BILLION DOLLARS!

At last, that last subject about the Wave Glider from Liquid Robotics (a company Gosling works in) seemed really cool, and it was funny when James said that he recieved a call from a ship crew telling him they spent a whole hour trying to catch the Wave Glider, funny and ironic how an effective software working can cause such frustration.

I’ll leave you with this picture of a cup from Sun Microsystems (another company James worked in).

This post is about sharing our thoughts and opinions on the Triangulation Chapter 239 Featuring Edward Cunningham, the inventor of the Wiki.

I’m still amazed at the way that big projects or big companies started: with a simple, small idea that ended up growing and nowadays we see it as a part of our lives, a clear example, the Wiki.

As Leo Laporte said, the Wikipedia, one of Ward’s contributions is one of the most beautiful things the Internet can achieve, the idea that he had initially, some place where his company could organize information, knowledge, ideas and add, modify and even delete from the database, that was the beginning of what we know as Wikipedia.

The fact that this platform or webpage is available for everyone around the world and also in several languages, and that every language has it’s own different editions of the same article, unique articles and different community seems surprising to me.

Ward’s generation of programmers was -in my opinion- some of the people that had so much to explore, so much to do and there were so many ideas, in his case, he was succesful at taking his litle project to something macro something big, a tool we all use nowadays and became a big part of what we know as Internet.
