Headway 3.0 – A Good Concept, but the 3rd Time I’ve to Adapt my Blog

rainwebs — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:17:45 +0000

I started to use the Headway theme in January 2010. Meanwhile I have to adapt the blog design the third time. Although the concept behind is brilliant I miss backward compatibility that allows me to take updates/upgrades without loosing my old work. At the moment I’m not able to get back what I designed before. [...]

Open-PM – Warum gerade jetzt?

rainwebs — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 13:17:46 +0000

Normalerweise schreibe ich hier im Blog in Englisch. Da das Thema Open-PM aber bisher ein rein deutschsprachiges ist, mache ich mal eine Ausnahme . Seit einige Tagen wird Open-PM in der Projektmanager/Projektleiter-Gemeinde heiß diskutiert. Derzeit ist es das meistgelesene Thema bei projektmagazin.de (kostenpflichtig). Es gibt mittlerweile eine eigene Page unter openpm.info, die zukünftiger Anlaufpunkt sein [...]

iGod has left the Building

One of the most impressive IT managers hat left us. I like how his parter Woz described it (translated from what I heard this morning in German TV): A lot of important persons have changed the world. But, Steve made the world more happy. I hope that Apple is able to continue this kind of [...]

5th Anniversary of the Blog

rainwebs — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 00:10:56 +0000

Today this blog has reached the age of 5 years and 6 days. All started with the idea to write about Spring. Spring 2 was on the way in those days and I liked the idea to skip all this EJB stuff. When I started with the evaluation of Open Source frameworks for JSF programming [...]

Nicer Mockups in Balsamiq with the purecaffeine.com bold font

rainwebs — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 17:30:15 +0000

Balsamiq is state of the art in creating mockups. I also use it to draw UML sketches. But, the font management is still a challenge. By default Balsamiq uses Comic Sans MS on Windows. Although Balsamiq seems to be one of the rare places this ugly font is useful, it seems to me that Balsamiq [...]

Professional Scrum Master Certification On Your Own

rainwebs — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 03:41:03 +0000

If you have a look at the current job descriptions for ScrumMasters they normally ask for a certification. This means you should have done a training offered by the ScrumAlliance and the certification proves this. It does not mean that you are experienced with what you may talk about. When I started with Scrum I [...]

Review of Chapter 3 of "Apache MyFaces 1.2 Web Application Development by Bart Kummel"

rainwebs — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 17:09:06 +0000

The third chapter is presenting Facelets. Seems to me that it is a better introduction to Facelets than we have seen with Ian’s book. Facelets Bart also starts with the JSP vs. Facelets rendering stuff. But, this is much shorter when having a look at the advantages. He continues with the installation/configuration of Facelets for [...]
