Many books state that Java performs “Automatic Garbage Collection” which is unfortunately misunderstood and taken by granted for developers. While it’s true that Java offers a very effective garbage collection technique, it is the duty of a programmer to ensure [...]]]> http://blog.optimizecode.com/2010/07/java-garbage-collector-demystified/feed/ 0 http://blog.optimizecode.com/2010/06/kiss-concept-important-software-simple/ http://blog.optimizecode.com/2010/06/kiss-concept-important-software-simple/#comments Sun, 06 Jun 2010 18:35:43 +0000 Thomas http://blog.optimizecode.com/?p=182 http://blog.optimizecode.com/2010/06/kiss-concept-important-software-simple/feed/ 0 http://blog.optimizecode.com/2010/05/fifa-world-cup-2010-website-football-fans-slow-website/ http://blog.optimizecode.com/2010/05/fifa-world-cup-2010-website-football-fans-slow-website/#comments Sun, 23 May 2010 20:09:43 +0000 Thomas http://blog.optimizecode.com/?p=153 dzone_url = "http://blog.optimizecode.com/2010/05/fifa-world-cup-2010-website-football-fans-slow-website/";If you are a big soccer fan like me, you would be eagerly awaiting the start of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

Besides the fact that duplication is waste, there are other maintainability and performance benefits to be gained by avoiding unnecessary redundancies. Code repetition can be tempting, mainly because it sometimes appears to be the easiest [...]]]> http://blog.optimizecode.com/2010/05/improving-design-dry-principle-repeat/feed/ 0 http://blog.optimizecode.com/2010/05/give-rewrite-software/ http://blog.optimizecode.com/2010/05/give-rewrite-software/#comments Tue, 11 May 2010 21:58:44 +0000 Thomas http://blog.optimizecode.com/?p=134 dzone_url = "http://blog.optimizecode.com/2010/05/give-rewrite-software/";It’s a frustrating situation and all the aspirin in the world won’t make the headache go away. You have an existing, unique software product that can’t be easily replaced. However, you’ve found that you have reached the ceiling on extensibility and maintainability. Maybe the project platform is inflexible, resulting in severe portability or scalability issues.

Does it crash every now and then? Does it have memory leaks? Is your application slowing down the operating system significantly? Is your application taking forever to execute? Developers are often left pondering over these questions while writing Java applications.
