My first C program: now and then

I was searching for some documents in gmail and found a mail that I sent to company X for their hiring process. It was a c program for searching word in file. I do not know how much time I have taken for it but it was basic search utility function.

The point of this blog is not discuss that program but to discuss how time makes you better programmer.

Here are the few things I would like to share myself -

  • It takes some learning to write clean code. 
  • Reed books like clean code.
  • You need mentor to learn from his experience.
  • Get a github account and see how experts are writing code.
This is not the complete list, there are many things you will acquire over a period of time which make you better programmer.

PS: If you are wondering how that program used to look like, then see this repo.

Java Generics: Why I get "name clash" exception when I override methods with different "type" parameter ?

import java.util.*; class Parent { void foo(List<String> list) { System.out.println("parent"); } } class Child extends Parent { void foo(List<Integer> list) { System.out.println("child"); } } When you compile this code you will get an error like Parent.java:7: name clash: foo(java.util.List<java.lang.Integer>) in Child and foo(java.util.List<java.lang.String>) in Parent have the same erasure, yet neither overrides the other class Child extends Parent { ^ 1 error This "name clash" error thrown because of "type erasure" thing when "generics" code gets complied. Let’s see how, When we complied any generics code, the compiler removes the type from the code and treat it as a simple pre Java 1.5 code, like, in our case, compiler saw something like this, import java.util.*; class Parent { void foo(List list) { // oops, <String> get erased. System.out.println("parent"); } } class Child extend...

VirtualHost in Tomcat (Make Tomcat a standalone web server)

Problem: I want to bind a registered domain name to my web application using Apache Tomcat as a standalone web server(means NO Apache web Server, HTTPD), simple :) Environment: Windows Server (64) 2003 Apache Tomcat 6.0.18 IIS 6 Still recently what were we doing to access the web application is, we are binding domain name "xyz.com" to the IIS which is running on port 80, and then this IIS redirects the page to local instance of tomcat, which is running on port 8080, as http://localhost:8080/WebApp So when someone hits www.xyz.com the server redirects to the URL as http://xyz.com:8080/WebApp. Now we need some changes into it 1. Remove port 8080 from URL (pretty easy) Open CATLINA_HOME/conf/server.xml and search for number 8080 and replace by 80, save it and you're done. But wait, if you restarted the tomcat, it will throw exception, like ‘JVM_bind: port 80 is a...
