Fortune.com - Technology - Can Google Grow Up?

When the numbers pertain to Google, they look very, very good. In 18 months the company has quadrupled in size, now employing more than 1,300 people. Annualized revenues have sextupled, to about $900 million. Annualized pretax profits have grown by a factor of 23, to about $350 million, according to a handful of people who have been told the figures. Only a few high-tech companies in history, like Apple, Compaq, Sun, and more recently Amazon.com, have generated that kind of revenue growth so fast. None has made as much money doing it

webservices.xml.com: Protocol Design: How Many Bytes? [Nov. 25, 2003]

The updated HTTP 1.1 presented a solution that did not have these problems, a combination of length prefixing and an end of data indicator. When data is generated on the fly, it is assumed to be generated as a series of “chunks”, each chunk being at least 1 byte long.

Core Developers Network

After a longer and more difficult process than expected, the 2.4 version of the Servlet Specification has been completed by JSR-154 and is due for release before the end of 2003. The aims of this revision of the specification were some modest feature enhancements, improved deployment descriptors and general clarifications of existing functionality. These aims, with some notable exceptions have largely been met. This article reviews the most important additions, changes, omissions and remaining problems in the specification. The key new features are introduced and some explanations are given for those that are missing in action. Problem areas that remain in the specification and those that have newly been added are also discussed.

Bruce Eckel’s MindView, Inc: 5-2-03 Strong Typing vs. Strong Testing

In recent years my primary interest has become programmer productivity. Programmer cycles are expensive, CPU cycles are cheap, and I believe that we should no longer pay for the latter with the former.

Ahh, Python: my new love affair. So easy to say what I want to say in that language. No long compilation steps. Easy to move from idea to code to execution. My vote for most productive language. Ruby is a close second, just doesn’t have the mindshare yet.
