Google TechTalks July 6, 2006
William Pugh
ABSTRACT I’ll talk about some of my experience in using and expanding static analysis tools for defect detection. The FindBugs tool developed at the Univ. of Maryland is now being widely used, including inside Google.
I’ll give an overview of FindBugs, show some of the kinds of errors we routinely find in production code, discuss the methodology we use for enhancing and expanding FindBugs and some of the recent additions to it, discuss ways of incorporating FindBugs into your development process (such as being able to get a report of all the warnings introduced since the last release of your software), and talk about the future of static analysis, including things such as a new Java JSR to provide standard annotations for things such as @NonNull and @Tainted. – (Google Video)

SD Forum: The eBay Architecture
Im SD Forum gab es am 29.11.2006 einen interessanten Vortrag von Dan Pritchett und Randy Shoup über die eBay Architektur. Im Mittelpunkt stand vor allem, wie man mit Größenordnungen dieser Art:
- 212 Millionen registrierte Benutzer
- 1 Milliarden Seitenaufrufe pro Tag
- 26 Milliarden SQL Anfragen und Updates pro Tag
- Speicherung von über 2 Petabytes Daten
umgeht.

Snips and Spaces: Managing Microlearning
Interessantes Paper über “Microlearning” und die Kombination von Weblogs und Wikis:
Abstract. Radically lowering “barriers to publish”, wikis and weblogs are rapidly gaining acceptance as simple and hassle-free ways to share and link information in a community of interest (or overlapping communities of interest). Based on a working definition of microlearning as learning from microformats, we discuss the characteristics of both formats and outline problems that may arise in a microlearning context. We propose that by combining both formats to form an integrated whole, those problems can be largely solved. This is complemented by a description of several aspects of Vanilla, a system based on this idea.
