Lies and manipulation

The deeper I get the darker it becomes. Management you evil bastard. I'm reading the last part, politics. There is no hope left for us. We're are just a drop in the desert. Puppets. I'm not even sure if I go to work tomorrow - if it's gonna be me, or just the "reality" managers make me to do.

Quick Selenium WebDriver TestNG setup

Some Fridays I have no idea how can I squeeze anything out of me other than inappropriate jokes and fantasy stories. However I was curious how one can do a TestNG test using Selenium WebDriver.

Design Patterns

Hi Readers,

It was high time to publish this post. A long time ago I decided to implement all the design patterns are in the famous GOF book: Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
Why? Because doing it by yourself the most efficient learning method. At least, for me. When I read this book first, I thought, know everything. All patterns made sense. But after time I realized using those patterns in practice are _REALLY_ hard. If you don't see what are the scopes, what object has access to what other objects, etc ... means you won't use it efficiently. Although, I'm still not confident with a lot of pattern. And by the way, I think it's not the best book for introducing these patterns. I found Wiki pages more useful in a lot of cases.

Here you are the downloadable JAVA sources:

Ps.: And this is the small shell script I packed the source folders:

for dir in BehavioralPatterns StructuralPatterns CreationalPatterns
do
  for pattern in `ls $dir`
  do
    tar -czf $pattern.tar.gz ./$dir/$pattern
    echo "Download $pattern pattern ($dir)
"
  done
done
