Ant~Swing~Spring~Hibernate~Eclipse AJAX~Ruby~Rails~Struts~Tomcat~SOAP SAX~Velocity~Wet~Watir (spelling intended) It’s been almost 6 years that I’ve been out of the programming world and I just can’t keep up any longer. George has been using these words lately and I’m starting to get that eyes-glazed-over look when he does. You know the look. It’s the one that non-computer geeks get […]
