JavaFX Too Late...But Who Cares
I think around 2005 AJAX crept into buzz worthy status. Book publishers were happy again. Eric Pascarello got to laugh at everyone for making fun of his love for JavaScript. Rich Internet Application became the defacto term for web 2.0. And developing ... 		Aug 1, 2008

[Swing] Application Wide Hotkeys
I'm working on a Swing application and I need the ability to have application wide hotkeys. Basically that means no matter what I am currently doing in my app specific keystrokes always do the same thing. For example I am mimicing IDEA's CTRL+N ... 		Aug 1, 2008

I discovered an interesting gem today while inspecting the header data for a web application I am working on. When you use JQuery to send an AJAX request to the server, JQuery places a nice little header entry: X-Requested-With : XMLHttpRequest ... 		Jul 31, 2008
