Treffer: Programming.

The article provides an overview of articles published in 2004 issues Dr. Dobb's Journal and Java Pro. In Instant Messaging: A Programmer's Tool?, authors William Wright and Dana Moore say that software developers have not considered instant messaging (IM) as a delivery platform because of its common use in person-to-person text conversation. When developers design and deliver person-to-system (P2S) applications, as with Web clients and servers, they rarely think of the interactions between user and system as conversations. They argue that open IM platforms might have the most to offer, however, when measured as P2S or distributed system-to-system delivery platform. They use the Jabber IM client protocol to demonstrate their premise. While in Developing Web Interfaces with JSF, Chris Schalk describes Java Server Faces' features and how to build a simple login app. It is being designed not just for coding gurus, but also for other players in Web application development such page authors, application developers, component writers and tools vendors. Also in Go Beyond Tag Libraries, Kevin Jones says the Java Server Pages (JSP) 2.0 specification's expression language and tag-extension model should give developers who have shunned JSP for authoring Web applications a reason to think their position. He gives examples and descriptions of how the expression language works.
