This month’s Effective Concurrency column, “Know When to Use an Active Object Instead of a Mutex,” is now live on DDJ’s website. From the article: Let’s say that your program has a shared log file object. The log file is likely to be a popular object; lots of different threads must be able to write to the file; and to avoid corruption, we need to ensure that only one thread may be writing to the file at any given time.

This is a continuation of a series I left off in December 2009 on Restructuring IT. This post presents a few guiding principles to understand before undertaking a restructuring exercise.

Twitter is abuzz (and not in a good way) over an article that was posted yesterday at econsultancy.com on HTML5. The issue is that the article is passing around inaccurate information about what HTML5 actually is. Like this little tidbit: Those cool bouncing Google homepage balls everyone was talking about last week were an example of HTML5, but if you want to see an example of what the format can really do, take a look at this.
