The proxy plugin configs are a powerful tool for server admins. There was a recent post of the basics at http://weblogic-wonders.com/weblogic/2010/05/13/apache-proxy-as-static-content-repository/ that is worth a boookmark.
Back when 14.4k baud modems were fast, mice were beige, IBM made PCs, and new software versions were relased annually instead of weekly, software came with useful, intiutive manuals that included tutorials for everything you needed to get up and working.
Other than the ability to take the manual in its binder to the couch to flip through, dog ear and highlight, I was happy to discover a full set of training buried in the doc folder of the Oracle Database install (and many other of their applications, though location may vary).
Even if you don’t have the full install, the 2 Day DBA and other really useful documents can be found online, too. The 10.2 version is located here:Â http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.all_books.
For those that read my Cleaner Code with the PMD Eclipse Plug-In article on Developer.com, you will know that PMD is one of my favorite tools for saving time in code reviews. I recently wanted to review a project built for WebLogic Portal 10.3 and was frustrtated to find that it would not install through the Eclipse updater. At the time I wrote the article, I was unable to find zip install for the more recent PMD versions. Today I found a new location for the old download and unzip install files for PMD on SourceForge today at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/files/, and it seems to work fine when installed with this approach.
It may be just because they are really good at SEO, but everytime I’m looking for a quick (free) tutorial on something I want to learn about or need a refresher, RoseIndia usually comes up. I think the reason for the quality of most of their tutorials is that they don’t create them all themselves. This is not immediatly obvious, unless you keep looking at other search results for tutorials and find the same one posted in 20 other places. Still, they are good aggregtor for technical tutorials, and for that I definitly recommend bookmarking them.
