unmaintainable code : Java Glossary

unmaintainable code : Java Glossary: "unmaintainable code "

This is interesting. I've heard that programmers need to make their code unreadable or unmaintainable, in order to keep themselves in the companies. But then, in CityU, I was taught to write code in term of qaulity (including maintainability). So, to make my job easy to lose, or easy to do?

ASP.NET Home: Life Without Refresh

ASP.NET Home: Life Without Refresh

"Microsoft like reinventing technologies." This is heard from one of my fellow in CityU. I don't care if the stuff is a pure invention or reinvention. All I'm interested in is whether it works. I think I'll look for the possibility of this JavaScript RPC (reinventing AJAX?).

Google Maps API

Google Maps API

Few days ago, Google released their Maps API for external use (required registration). I've just taken a quick look on the Google Maps API web site. It's great that the API can be accessed in JavaScript. But since I like developing windows application, it'll be even better if it can be accessed in .NET or Java.
