java.net: Exception-Handling Antipatterns
by 1 other (via)Should you throw an exception, or return null? Should you use checked or unchecked exceptions? For many novice to mid-level developers, exception handling tends to be an afterthought.

Jimdo and Northclick Dev-Blog » Getting the PHP fatal errors
by 1 other (via)One big issue of the PHP error handling is that there’s no built-in way to catch fatal errors with an user-defined error handler. So I thought a little bit about it and maybe you have better approaches or solutions …
The short goal is to send the error via e-mail to the developer(s). As we are security-aware, we’re logging errors and do not display them to the world. (Hint: that should be your default on every production machine!)
