Primer artículo publicado

Se dice que la escritura fue la idea base para el desarrollo de sociedades y la dispersión de conocimiento, tal conocimiento por cientos de años solía pasar como historias o enseñanzas verbales de persona en persona, ahora ya todo ha cambiado.

Tenemos en el bolsillo con un smartphone, Kindle o iPad la capacidad de alojar cantidades inimaginables de datos e historias, sin precedentes en la historia de la humanidad. Ahora nuestro problema no es encontrar la mayor cantidad de conocimiento, sino descartar aquél que no tenga utilidad.

Con esta introducción tengo el grato agrado de haber visto un artículo mío publicado por una revista :-)

Sin mas reparos, les presento a Atix Libre No. 20

Projects worth looking at

For a while I've been reading about the term Software Archeology from different media channels and I find it very valuable. Especially if you are trying to do something interesting with your projects, in those cases is a very good idea to checkout some very well written applications.

Rails
If you want to see what Ruby can do, this is the project I recommend. It has several gems in it, including a very complete documentation.

Guava
Google has released several open source projects with high quality code and lots of functionality, this set of libraries are great tools when dealing with real-life applications.

Guice
A great CDI component that simplifies Spring into fine grained components that are extremely extensible. I use it whenever I can and it's really, but really cool.

Fitnesse
This is perhaps the application with more test coverage I've ever seen, a serious attempt to reduce the gap between user acceptance tests and testers.

You might have noticed that most of them are written in Java, I didn't have time to check some other languages, but for sure Scala and Clojure are my next target.
