Hey Ibbo, thanks a lot for taking the time!

Hmm, should I take a look at Grails? I looked at it waaaay back when and decided against looking further (kinda weird-looking project structure and running short on memory in build) but maybe this is a good opportunity to take a fresh look and maybe vary on the theme. Nice suggestion, thanks!

The Java Guru huh? All those sacrificed chickens at the altar of Sun must’ve paid off

In terms of languages fella, why not try an -alomst- new language? Groovy on grails is lovely from a productivity point of view, and you can reuse all your fave java libraries, and drop out to trad Java if it’s absolutely necessary. The build process spits of good old .war files too, so all your deployment knowledge is put to good use.. And it’s just a joy to work with (IMNSHO).

P.S. One of your work colleagues who’s at the #SHRUG just described you to me as “Oh yeah, the Java Guru!” Top reputation fella

Comment on When a minus times a minus equals a plus by Stefan Hyltoft

simon lee :
i got this explanation from 6th grade textbook
2 x 3 = 4
2 x 2 = 2
2 x 1 = 0
2 x -1 = -2
2 x -2 = -4
this tells you why + x – equals to negative
in a same way
-3 x 3 = -9
-3 x 2 = -6
-3 x 1 = -3
-3 x 0 = 0
-3 x -1 = 3
-3 x -2 = 6
the pattern explains – x – equals to positive

Thank you simon I have just been looking for this kind of example, an number line example sort of. All the other examples have been confusing or not common sense to me.

Apple iOS (iPhone / iPad) app development is free, but you can subscribe to the developer programme if you want betas of the next iOS release and support, which will cost you money. Oh you’ll also need a Mac
