For a long time I was thinking of being part of blog-world. Finally I could start on..
In the first blog I like to write on few of my thoughts after recent SunTech days.
I am envied by the information, tools and opportunities that current day developer got. There are very good opportunities and tools being provided by the open source movement. I was also amazed by the amount of participation and contribution by the student community thorough open source communities. Either it by providing documentation for netbeans or by submitting bug fixes for opensolaris or by other means.
I also had a chance to find out new frameworks and tools available. I feel recent IDEs and frameworks especially those I came across are making development easy. I still remember the pain we went through to get a page up and working using jsp and early spring framework some 4yrs ago. But is simple and straightforward using frameworks and IDEs like seam and RedHat developer. There are tools to manage requirements, to generate prototype from requirements, to do automated builds and run tests and so on. I envision a day when a requirements are captured in a tool, a language is selected and the deployable archive is generated. While in first case I envied developer here I pity them. With more and more coding and testing being done by tools, the role of developer is expanding. Your are no more good enough of you know one language and can code in it. He should posses skills to be agile.. learn and adapt new frameworks and tools. That's why I say, Developer O Developer grab the opportunist when you are young and energetic...
