Red Hat Developer Studio - Introduction

The beta version of Red hat Developer Studio has been released recently. RHDS is a based on eclipse with set of pre-configured tools from JBoss IDE and Exadel Studio. RHDS gives us out of box and 100% open source platform for enterprise-level, innovative and scalable applications. RHDS enables you to create seam application, visually design JSF using AJAX components, generate entity beans from your database using Hibernate and much more...

I have downloaded the installer for Windows platform, and installation was pretty simple 8 step. JBoss is bundled with the installer.


Here is the Splashscreen of Red hat developer studio. Little bit heavy than standard eclipse release since it loads pretty much plugins.


The workspace is the one we are already familiar with. The first most important and biggest differences are rich component Palette, Web tab, and additional perspective.



The lovely palette contains pre-configured, useful tools, categorized in the following order.

  • HTML
    • All elements
  • JBoss
    • Ajax4jsf
    • RichFaces
    • Seam
  • JSF
    • Core

    • Core
    • Formatting

    • Tomahawk
  • Oracle ADF Faces

You can download the the beta for Windows and Linux from here. I strongly suggest you play with it and provide feedback to Red Hat. But better to wait for a or few more months, letting it to become more mature enough for real life projects.

How i am slashdotted

I was absolutely shocked when i see the visit count statistics in my blog. It says 8,000 unique visitors in just an hour, wow! what a traffic? and found out it was coming from slashdot, that is, i was slashdotted. I googled about this incredible traffic, and redirected to wikipedia that describes it as a slashdot effect which causes the smaller site to slow down or even temporarily close due to the increased traffic. Unfortunately, blogger server was down because of unknown errors, as if it proves the description of slashdot effect.


Normally, my blog has approximately 800 visits a day. When the slashdot linked me, it rised to 38,000 a day, which means about 50 times increase. I just started "plenty of code" a month ago, so i had only few bucks in my adsense account. Through the slashdot effect, my account amount is tribled in only two days. What can i say? You guys really encouraged me. Big big big thanks to Slashdot.


I noticed that the slashdot effect brings other effect at the same time, such as digg, del.icio.us, stumpleupon, etc... Here is the tree that shows the effect in general (not exact. what i observe from the analytics report)

...cnet news

..........and goes on...

Special thanks to qualified resources sites for developers. My articles have been in popular lists several times. I also find very very useful stuffs from these sites.

Free Programming e-Books

I got links from my friend, and would like to share with you. As far as i see, most of them are legal contents. Following links contains plenty of e-books related to programming, design, system administration and technologies. I hope it will help you.

Microsoft Open Source Projects

Developers and Software Companies are already moved and preferred to choose Open Source Technologies because of its support, poularity, security and cost. There are open source projects' homes like sourceforge.net, freshmeat.net where most of the projects are based on Non-microsoft and Open technologies and languages. Dotnet developers had no chances to find open source projects written using VB.NET or C#, So these developers were changing their skills to use other languages like Java, Php, Perl, Python etc...


Microsoft have started open source project hosting named "Codeplex". In this place, you are find plenty of codes which you can use for free, play with it, contribute to project, can get members of projects, shortly you can find everything that is on sourceforge.net. Projects on Codeplex are Components, Control Toolkit, Extensions, Features that adds value to Microsoft's existing product families. If you are .NET developer, You should not miss this sites and projects on it.

Wikipedia definition for Codeplex
