He’s a recognized figure in Java circles, credited with articles and videos amassing millions of views, and presentations at international events.

I have been a ProjectLocker and Assembla user for years. They both offer excellent tools for software projects management. However, now I’m moving to GitHub, ‘cause you know, I’m becoming kind of an open-source activist (don’t take that too serious, it doesn’t mean that I’m pretending to be the next Stallman or anything). GitHub seems to be better suited for social open source projects.

I have written my share of code, so it’s time to give something back to the World (also, I’m publishing all that code to raise my developer career but it doesn’t sound like the thoughts of an open-source activist). Check it out, tons of code for you: QBasic, C, C++, PHP, and Java (mostly Java), and some projects using well known Java technologies such as Spring Framework, Hibernate, JPA/TopLink, Struts 2, SiteMesh, DisplayTag, Vaadin, and Enterprise App).

Enterprise App users! now you can follow the add-on development here. I will migrate all issues and tasks to GitHub to handle everything from one place. You can fork and send patches (through pull requests) if you want to.

Enjoyed this post? I can help your team implement similar solutions—contact me to learn more.

As some of you already know, I will be making a big noise about Enterprise App and InfoDoc Pro next month.
