Software is too expensive to build cheaply...

Allen Holub wrote an article in Javaworld recently entitled More on getters and setters. Oh boy, has this article caused some fuss in places.

Okay, you've found my blog. Congratulations. I hope you enjoy it.

Saw an interesting post while cruising JavaBlogs. Weiqi Gao makes some interesting observations on what will happen to IntelliJ's IDEA product over the next few years.

At the request of a reader, I've decided to post some examples on how something like the Employee class described in Allen Holub's article More on getters and setters could evolve. This may not be the only way, but it certainly is one way.

For Christmas, I (like many geeks and non-geeks around the world) got a copy of the "The Two Towers" boxed set (the 4 disc one). Should my wife ever read this, thanks again for this present.
