:: Processing Image Pixels, Applying Image Convolution in Java, Part 2 Part 2 of this lesson teaches you how to design copying filters, smoothing filters, sharpening filters, 3D embossing filters, and edge detection filters, and how to apply those filters to images. http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,2crf,1,flrz,hbpp,2ezm,3q9m
:: Understanding Service Oriented Architecture Do you feel like software vendors and conference speakers have stretched the meaning of "service oriented architecture" to the point where anything is an SOA? Do you even know what the term should mean any more? In this re-introductory article, David Walend offers an overview of what true SOAs are, how they work, and what they can do for you. http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,2crf,1,a5ha,9ihl,2ezm,3q9m
:: Introducing JAXX: A New Way to Swing Swing's great, except for the thousands of lines of manual layout, event wiring, data binding, etc. JAXX offers an alternative: an XML markup that offers faster and more intuitive ways to lay out and wire up your GUI, while still offering tremendous flexibility. Ethan Nicholas shows what's inside this exciting new package. http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,2crf,1,jkcb,311,2ezm,3q9m
:: Testing Java in an Object-Oriented Way Most developers are familiar with functional testing, but is a badly written program "right" if it passes all those tests? Soumen Chaterjee makes the case for testing that the code adheres to good object-oriented principles. http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,2crf,1,9yrb,fsnt,2ezm,3q9m
