http://www.shoesobjects.com/blog/tags/manning/ My thoughts on software, technology, and life in general en Mike Shoemaker Sun, 31 Jan 2010 17:47:37 GMT Pebble (http://pebble.sourceforge.net) http://backend.userland.com/rss http://www.shoesobjects.com/blog/2004/11/09/spring_live_first_impression.html <p> First thing I'd like to say is that this book is very readable and flows well. One of the best parts so far is using equinox or appfuse light. I knew appfuse existed but had never really played with it before. After creating just a couple sample projects, I'm convinced I will use them going forward. Great work! </p> <p> With all the raves, there is also one rant. After going through just a couple chapters in <a href="http://www.sourcebeat.com/TitleAction.do?id=7">Spring Live</a>, I'm already tired of not being able to copy/paste code. While I realize a chapter by chapter <a href="http://sourcebeat.com/downloads/">download</a> is available, I don't want to have to keep switching from the pdf to the downloaded code and then back to my working editor. This is one step that I don&rsquo;t have to do with the pdf&rsquo;s from <a href="http://www.manning.com/about/meap.html">Manning&rsquo;s MEAP Program</a> and therefore speeds up my progress. I&rsquo;m assuming they disallow copy/paste for copy write reasons, but this is a major pain. Is there any way to allow copy/paste on just the code snippets? </p> java http://www.shoesobjects.com/blog/2004/11/09/spring_live_first_impression.html#comments http://www.shoesobjects.com/blog/2004/11/09/spring_live_first_impression.html Tue, 09 Nov 2004 21:00:45 GMT
