What a great idea!!! Now I can sell my goods in bitcoins exclusively and lock out 98% percent of my potential customers....

I can't wait for this to support Java so I can at least have some beautiful tools to get me through the soul sucking days of Spring development :-)

These kind of comments need to be down voted for adding no value.

Most of the big supermarkets in the UK have had this service for a while. I use the ASDA (owned by Walmart) home grocery delivery every week and it's a great service!

Tesco, Sainsburys and Iceland also offer this service. I've worked with two of these supermarkets to build the ecommerce platform that powers this (as a Java consultant).

I'm surprised this is exciting news in the US!

People should read the posting guidelines before down voting.

I was under the impression that the US started this war with their questionable military efforts abroad?

Pretty sure the US armed a lot of the terrorists in the first place. When you suck the resources out of the world and push people into starvation whilst living in the land of plenty, you're obviously going to become a target.

Maybe the US is ALSO the problem here?

I was under the impression the US is the only country that have used atom bombs in anger?

I don't trust the US just like I don't trust these Muslim states. Neither are really pro-freedom.

He does write pretty comprehensive Java books though.

I watched it until the point where you just rolled in and started chatting. It's hard to do these types of video.

You look like a kid and I don't trust you with my data. Why are all these types of 'startups' done by people with absolutely no experience that probably only learnt rails (or some other such low barrier to entry tech) this year?

Before the down votes roll in. This is a legit concern that ordinary customers could easily have.

I don't even use Apple operating systems on my phone or any other device, what motivation do I have to use it on an iphone, ipad or other apple product?

Can't you make this argument about anything?

This makes me wonder what other 'interesting' business ideas people can come up with to operate as a hidden service?

Throwing anonymity into your business plans could turn up some interesting ideas....

Opening 100 gnome shells that will crash my system and make me lose whatever I was working on is NOT harmless.

Would it be possible to freelance with your ecommerce skills as an aside to your day job?

Wow. Grey text on a white background. This is really annoying to read on a matte screen.

A little ironic given the subject matter?

I'm about to leave my company and it has nothing to do with the manager. I actually feel bad that I'm leaving him.

That may be the case but Mono still isn't proven as much as the JVM is.

Maybe you need a better job at a better company that hires better technical talent so you're not forever stuck on your legacy, xml configured Spring stack?

Then stop running it in the browser.

Do you have any idea how ubiquitous java is in the enterprise? Everywhere uses java.

Have you ever worked on anything that needs to be scalable, extensible and maintainable?

Mono isn't proven anywhere near as much as the JVM.

I don't know why this is being downvoted. It's true that the JVM is one of the things in the Java ecosystem that is looked upon as a massive success.

Except Windows is crapware.

Here we go again, another Java hater for no reason. What should we replace it with? someCrap.js? someOtherCrap.py?

You really have no idea what you're talking about. Killing Java would be a ridiculous thing to do. You live in such a bubble.

I see that the 457 requires those things but I don't know what their criteria is other than what's on the SOL list which is a BSC or a lot of years of experience.

I'm trying to figure out if they will accept me being sponsored by my employer with my 2.5 - 3 years experience and DipHE... basically, will they take me despite my lack of BSc?

Thanks for the info. I plan on doing an MSC at some point anyway so could always get PR (if I wanted it) later down the road.

Does the 457 visa mean that there is no requirement to meet the educational requirements for a Software Engineer on the SOL?

Effectively, my lack of BSc won't stop me if I can get on a 457?

Is it possible to get people from outside of Australia to migrate for work on a 457 visa without having to get their skills assessed by the ACS?

Quick questions. Is it possible to migrate to Australia (Sydney) if you only have a DipHE (didn't finish last year of uni) and have around 2 - 3 years full time Software Engineering experience or MUST you have a BSc?

Also, I am potentially doing this through my current employer rather than as a skilled independent migrant.

Thanks

Edit: I'm from London

That would be very interesting given how JEE and Spring are so similar now. I would love Oracle to converge the both of them!

I think the sale of SpringSource to Oracle is unlikely though.

I've seen this but with farms / clusters of hundreds of servers.

Somewhat different to some home user sticking Ubuntu on his virtualbox....

I expected posts like this to come flooding in. Posts by people who think virtualisation starts and ends with your efforts to get Ubuntu or Windows running in Virtualbox. Posts by people who have no idea what virtualisation in the enterprise is.

This post should be on 'shit HN says' but without the context it won't make any sense.

It appears you haven't really done enterprise Java for a long time.

For a start, J2EE is history, anything using J2EE is a legacy project. JEE6 is the latest Java Enterprise Spec and it's fairly lightweight, you have to use almost zero xml configuration (everything is annotations) and you and you can turn a plain old java object into a bean with just one annotation (@Stateless) and you can even inject beans anywhere with just one annotation.

The same is true for the newer versions of Spring, pretty much no XML config required anymore.

I use JEE6 and Spring, these are as powerful as ever but with less and less actual implementation nightmares with every release. They have looked at the other frameworks and stolen all the best ideas in their latest form.

Play! for java is also a great framework although it doesn't have much adoption by anyone I care about.
