		<title><![CDATA[Functional thinking: Functional design patterns, Part 3]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[The Gang of Four&apos;s Interpreter design pattern encourages extending a language by building
a new language from it. Most functional languages let you extend the language in a variety
of ways, such as operator overloading and pattern matching. Although Java doesn&apos;t
    permit any of these techniques, next-generation JVM languages do, with varying
    implementation details. In this article, Neal Ford investigates how Groovy, Scala, and Clojure realize the intent of the Interpreter design pattern by allowing functional extensions in ways that Java does not.]]></description>

    hardware platforms and operating systems. But some applications can&apos;t be written entirely in Java: The standard Java class libraries might not support a required platform-specific feature or library; you might prefer to implement time-critical code in a lower-level, faster language, or you might want to leverage legacy code assets. The Java Native Interface (JNI) within the Java platform enables Java and &quot;native&quot; (non-Java) code to interoperate. Using JNI entails certain trade-offs, beyond loss of application portability. This knowledge path is designed to help all Java developers  use JNI safely and efficiently.]]></description>

            applications]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[When extended with the downloadable IBM Integration Module, the IBM
            Optim pureQuery Runtime simplifies the process of generating DB2 static SQL
            for Hibernate and iBATIS applications. It does this without requiring changes
            to your application code or gathering SQL from production
            workloads. The Optim pureQuery Runtime also enables Hibernate and iBATIS
            applications that access DB2 or Informix to benefit from the heterogeneous
            batching feature in pureQuery. This
            article is part one of a four-part series about using the IBM
            Integration Module with Hibernate applications. This article includes a
            downloadable sample application that illustrates how you can easily enable
            static SQL and heterogeneous batch functions with Hibernate applications. The

            is an immediate need to cleanse dirty, unstructured data. However one of the 
            challenges during this exercise is that countries can have multiple 
            languages that create a challenge for effectively handling linguistic data. For 
            example, in India, the official language of each state is different and data is 
            available in both English and local languages, which compounds the problem of
            data consistency. This article describes how to bring about consistency during 
            the transliteration process, and to use IBM InfoSphere Information Server
            DataStage to prepare linguistic data as part of an extract, then transform and

		<description><![CDATA[Functional programming has generated a recent surge of interest with claims of fewer bugs and greater productivity. But many developers have tried and failed to understand what makes functional languages compelling for some types of jobs. Learning the syntax of a new language is easy, but learning to think in a different way is hard. In the first installment of his Functional thinking column series, Neal Ford introduces some functional programming concepts and discusses how to use them in both Java and Groovy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Java developers have historically perceived JavaScript as a toy
    language, both too lightweight for real programming and too clunky to be of use as a
    scripting alternative. And yet JavaScript is still around, and it&apos;s the basis of
    exciting web technologies like GWT and Node.js. In this installment of Java
    development 2.0, Andrew Glover explains why JavaScript is an important tool for the modern Java developer. He then gets you started with the syntax you need to build first-class applications for today&apos;s web, including JavaScript variables, types, functions, and classes.]]></description>

    the programming sugar that makes it unique, including annotation-driven code
    generation and clean, compact, and readable code. He then draws your attention to one
    of the more rewarding uses of Lombok: extending it with custom AST (Abstract Syntax
    Tree) transformations. Extending Lombok will enable you to generate your own project-
    or domain-specific boilerplate code, but it does require a fair amount of work. Alex
    concludes with his tips for easing through key stages of the process, along with a
    freely usable custom extension for JavaBeans.]]></description>

    (REST) and the Java Persistence API (JPA) -- to let language-neutral remote clients transact with JPA-based applications following REST principles. JEST models customizable persistent closures of managed entities as REST resources and represents them in XML or enhanced JavaScript Notation (JSON) format to account for the cycles in an object graph. This article explains JEST&apos;s concepts. Then it introduces a demonstration implementation: a generic web client that communicates with a server to query persistent objects and browse a persistent domain model in domain-agnostic fashion.]]></description>
