The following link is a video I genuinely enjoyed watching and I felt I would share it as well. It is pertaining to the C# 4.0 Design Team, and I try to watch most of Anders Hejlsberg videos if I am able.
They do not get into an in depth/technical discussion concerning C# 4.0, they touch more on architectural items. They mention a few languages but happen to leave Java out of it. Another thing I thought was interesting is how they have met many times to discuss a feature. This might drag on for multiple meetings (they mention 10 hours), but they end up not implementing it. I felt as thought this was really neat how they put forth a lot of time and thinking into aspects of the language and are not afraid to say no.
I just wanted to make a quick post relating to Maven profiles. I was trying some new things about with Maven the other day and decided to put these into a profile as to not disturb the normal build process. Upon performing some trial and error tests, I was getting some strange results. I wasted to much time on figuring out what the problem was, but for Maven it expects multiple profiles to be specified such as the following:
I made the mistake of specifying them as multiple -P arguments. Such as the following … this is the wrong way:
mvn -Pprofile1 -Pprofile2
Maven 2.0.8 (I haven’t check on 2.0.9) does not give any indication of an error or warning from what I can tell.
Do not make the same mistake :)
Update – It looks as though Maven 2.0.10 will correct this issue.
I have upgraded to WordPress 2.6 which was recently released. Looks like there are quite a few new bells and whistles to check out.
See the following video from the WordPress team:
