Creating JSP 2.0 tagfiles

Oracle has an article about creating JSP 2.0 tagfiles. It’s going to be a great tool in my webapps. I’m a bit concerned of the maintainability of things, but it’s good to have something that has a bit lower threshold than coding taglib classes.

Choosing your education

I liked this one. An 18 year old asks Craig what to specialize in and what to look for. Bottom line: Do what interests you, and have fun.

Choosing education after what the job market looks like now, and what pay you can get doesn’t make sense. First of all it will be completely different in 5 years. Second of all, you will be spending most of your life at work, choose something you like doing. Third, if you like what you’re doing, you will be good at it.
