Random BitsPowerPoint PresentationTokenizerStringTokenizerSuper ChickenJavadocRecent news about EclipseThe EndJan 14, 2019Random BitsThe problem with programmers as reviewers, and especially programmers that have been involved in the program for a while, is that they are kind of oblivious to the complexity. And lots of engineers are complexity junkies. Complexity is in many ways just evil. Complexity makes things harder to understand, harder to build, harder to debug, harder to evolve, harder to just about everything. And yet complexity is often much easier than simplicity. There’s that really famous Blaise Pascal letter, where he starts, “I apologize for this long letter. I didn’t have the time to make it any shorter.” And that’s really true. --James GoslingTokenizerI’ve posted my code for the first assignment.I’ve tried to exemplify what your code should be likeThe program emphasizes clarity firstBrevity is also important as it adds to clarityThe tests are as comprehensive as I could make themIf they succeed, I can have considerable confidence that the program does what it is supposed to doThe Javadoc speaks to the user of the classIt hopefully says everything you need to know in order to use the class—and nothing moreStringTokenizerI suggested in the Tokenizer assignment that it would be a good idea to use StringTokenizerI guess I forgot to mention that it would also be a good idea to learn something about StringTokenizer first Anyway, my implementation of the first assignment may not be perfect (Hi, Shan!), but it works for all the standard ASCII charactersSuper ChickenI know of one person who came up with the solutionIn a few days I will “reveal all”You have one last chance to figure this out for yourselfJavadocI’ve posted a web page with a list of Javadoc style points (taken from the little green book)Javadoc is written in HTMLIn case you don’t know any HTML, the same web page describes some of the most essential HTML tagsRecent news about EclipseEclipse is from IBMNetBeans/Forté/Sun Studio is from SunSome people at Sun think the name “Eclipse” is a deliberate slur (overshadows the sun, etc.)Maybe it isAnyway, Eclipse is expected to become independent from IBMThis is likely to lead to better support by SunThe name will probably changeThe
