Threading
We’re quite familiar with the idea of writing a program that follows a specific sequence of steps as outlined in, say, a main() function. A Thread is also a series of steps with a beginning, a middle, and an end. A thread’s sequence, however, can run independently of the main program. In fact, we can launch any number of threads at one time and they will all run concurrently. Visit the Java site for a more involved explanation.
This is incredibly useful when it comes to data mining, as we can have separate threads retrieving different pieces of information from the network. If one gets stuck or has an error, the entire program won’t grind to a halt, since the error only stops that individual thread. To create independent, asynchronous threads, we simply extend the Thread class.
Python & Java: A Side-by-Side Comparison « Python Conquers The Universe
et hop un débat pour @nkame et @biologeek.Comparing Python and Java
A programmer can be significantly more productive in Python than in Java.
How much more productive? The most widely accepted estimate is 5-10 times. On the basis of my own personal experience with the two languages, I agree with this estimate.

HTML 5 with MathML validation problem from Joe Java on 2009-08-20 (www-validator@w3.org from August 2009)
The document at: [...] validates as XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0.
I made the appropriate changes for the doctype and the content-type to convert to being a HTML 5 document. [...] I get 2 types of repeating errors [...] I have no idea what the second error is complaining about.
I need an HTML 5 language lawyer to explain what is wrong and how to fix these errors.
Pauvre hère, il a cru les bobards comme quoi HTML 5 était compatible avec XHTML !
Cucumber - Making BDD fun
Cucumber lets software development teams describe how software should behave in plain text. The text is written in a business-readable domain-specific language and serves as documentation, automated tests and development-aid - all rolled into one format.
Cucumber works with Ruby, Java, .NET, Flex or web applications written in any language. It has been translated to over 30 spoken languages.
