Making Tables Harder Than They Need To Be

May 13th, 2009

I know you’re not supposed to do this, but sometimes it’s just easier. Sometimes I use tables to layout out my forms. Especially for big forms, it’s just easier to put things in a table than deal with labels, CSS, etc. Right or wrong, I do it from time to time, but, thanks to David Geary, I just learned that I make it harder on myself than it needs to be.

UPDATED: Web Beans Webinar

May 11th, 2009

Tomorrow On May 19th, Pete Muir, JSF 2.0 Expert Group member and Web Beans implementation lead (if I recall correctly) will be leading, in conjunction with The Aquarium, a webinar covering the forthcoming Java Contexts and Dependency Injection JSR (JSR-299, formerly known by the JSR’s former name, Web Beans). Unfortunately, that’s right in the middle of the Oklahoma City JUG’s meeting, so I can’t make it, especially since I’m this month’s speaker. For those of you that won’t be attending the OKC JUG tomorrow, this should be a good session on a great spec. I hope to catch the recording. Not as good as attending live, but it’s all I’ll be able to manage.

Dan Allen was nice enough to point out that I misread the announcement, which means OKC people can hear me talk AND attend this webinar. Win win! (win! ; )
