My Career Path

Maurizio T. posted an article on - Feb 10, 2011, 10:01 am
At least twice a year day I'm thinking about my career path, I know it's a masochist attitude I can't prevent. I have changed many companies in the last few years and I have spent a lot of time traveling and consulting abroad, somehow until complete exhaustion. This year I'm settling down a little ...

It's time to apply consumer's design models to Enterprise systems

Maurizio T. posted an article on - Jan 16, 2011, 8:02 am
I'm an happy Apple Mac user since one year now. I have never used a Mac before one year ago, when I decided to make the quantum leap, also because most of my Alfresco colleagues run a Mac and I have been always curious to try it. Before my idea was that Macs were cool but too much of a closed platfo...

XA Transactions

Maurizio T. posted an article on - Oct 21, 2010, 4:18 am
Reading MySQL documentation I have found a good description of how XA distributed transactions and two-phases commit work.

CAP Theorem for Mere Mortals

Few years ago I wrote a very short article about the CAP Theorem which accidentally has become one of the most cited summaries of that theorem available on the Internet, scoring in the first Google page (which, honestly, doesn't mean scientifically anything).

Mounting Alfresco as a WebDAV Network Folder

Maurizio T. posted an article on - Oct 3, 2010, 4:32 am
I like Alfresco Share's beautiful UI and I like Alfresco's CIFS capability of being mounted as a remote SMB/CIFS network drive. Anyway, one of the few shortcomings of Share is that you cannot download multiple files from the Web UI (you can upload multiple files), something you can easily do by moun...

JavaOne 2010, Glassfish and Netbeans

Maurizio T. posted an article on - Sep 22, 2010, 2:36 am
