For instance, I had to build a wiki migration, or to transform and import massively pages to a CMS.

JSoup, a Java framework, makes easier these operations.

Based on html5 elements, JSoup parses an Url, a String or a file with CSS selectors, or DOM transversal and gives facilities to manipulate the result found: you can easily replace some content, wrap with HTML tags.

When working on a web project, you will one day need to illustrate, even when prototyping. The purpose is different from one job to another but the need is the same:

• You are Web Architect, Tech Lead or Project Manager, you need some cool and already made icons.
• You are webdesigner, you want to get inspired or to make some faster design.
• You are ergonomist, you shall need some clean and minimalist illustration for your wireframes.

If you are one (or more!) of those :  try the design vector icons library.

It is not free (So what? Do you expect to eat for free in a restaurant?), but it is not expensive either and most of all, it is nice & simple!

REST (REpresentational State Transfer) , as a Resource Oriented Architecture interested me specially for the URI functionalities. RESTful features in Spring MVC 3.0 are very convenient for that purpose.
You can manage your url directly within your controller. Thus, you can get as close as you want to your business terms within the url:


@Controller
public class ProjectController {
...
@RequestMapping("/{section}/{project}/index.html")
public String getProject(@PathVariable String section, @PathVariable String project, Model model) {
...
}
}

I talked about that with a friend of mine who is my GWT psychologist (thank you Nicolas!) . He told me to have a look to UIBinder, a framework integrated into the official GWT since 2.0.

What I find really exciting in that framework is the possibility to define exactly what you expect as rendering.

But UIBinder brings the real solution: add the component that you expect, add any Css styles you need and bind it to your data. That’s it! The View implementation is very easy and efficient: a template made in xml, a widget class that is bound to your different fields with annotation. You can have the benefit of the whole GWT Engine combined with the best use of the browser with Html and Css.

I hope the GWT Team will integrate that in their best practices, because for me it is the best way to work with the GWT client.

• Content Management Systems (CMS) versus Web Applications.
• Rich Internet Applications done with technologies as Flex, GWT versus HTML5 oriented as Javascript frameworks.

JQuery is a serious actor, my favourite User Interface and/or Javascript framework.

This month, it comes with one very exciting news : JQuery has just announced they are about to bring jQuery to mobile devices.
