ปัจจุบันผมทำงานให้กับบริษัทฯ ซึ่งทำเกี่ยวกับด้าน telecom แห่งหนึ่ง งานสนุกดี แต่ตอนนี้รู้สึกเบื่อแล้ว
การทำงานในสาย Telecom นั้นทำให้ผมได้เรียนรู้อะไรใหม่ๆ หลายอย่าง แต่นั่นทำให้ผม lag ไปในเทคโนโลยีใหม่ๆ อีกหลายๆ อย่างไปด้วยเช่นกัน (lag มากจริงๆ)
ตอนนี้ผมอยากกลับมา update ในเทคโนโลยีหลายๆอย่างที่ไม่ได้มีโอกาสสัมผัส และสิ้นเดือนนี้จะเป็นวันทำงานสุดท้ายของผม

ผมลาออกจากงาน โดยที่ยังไม่ได้งานประจำ แต่คิดว่าจะรับงาน freelance เพื่อประทังชีวิตและครอบครัว ซึ่งผมจะใช้ช่วงเวลานี้ในการศึกษาเทคโนโลยี ที่มีแนวโน้มจะใช้ในอนาคต
ส่วนความรู้ได้ืที่ได้จากการทำงานด้าน Telecom ไม่ว่าจะเป็น PSTN, VoIP, GSM, SMS, USSD, Billing System, etc... ก็ยังเสียดายอยู่ ไม่อยากทิ้งไป ซึ่งผมคิดว่าจะหาโอกาสได้ใช้สักทาง

ดูจากภาพด้านบน แต่คงต้องเลือกในสายพวก web technologies ที่ผมมีโอกาสได้ใช้งานมากที่สุดเสียก่อน แต่ส่วนใหญ่ก็มี่ส่วนที่เกี่ยวเนื่องกับเวบทั้งนั้นเลย นั่นเพราะกระแสหลักในช่วงเวลานี้
ก็ยังคงเป็นเรื่องของ web applications กันอยู่ มาดู overview เกี่ยวกับเทคโนโลยีแต่ล่ะตัวกัน


1. Desktop Application

1.1 .NET Framework 3.5
Microsoft .NET Framework is a software component that is a part of Microsoft Windows operating systems. It has a large library of pre-coded solutions to common programming problems and manages the execution of programs written specifically for the framework. The .NET Framework is a key Microsoft offering and is intended to be used by most new applications created for the Windows platform.
The pre-coded solutions that form the framework's Base Class Library cover a large range of programming needs in areas including user interface, data access, database connectivity, cryptography, web application development, numeric algorithms, and network communications. The class library is used by programmers who combine it with their own code to produce applications.
Programs written for the .NET Framework execute in a software environment that manages the program's runtime requirements. This runtime environment, which is also a part of the .NET Framework, is known as the Common Language Runtime (CLR). The CLR provides the appearance of an application virtual machine so that programmers need not consider the capabilities of the specific CPU that will execute the program. The CLR also provides other important services such as security, memory management, and exception handling. The class library and the CLR together compose the .NET Framework.
The .NET Framework is included with Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista, and can be installed on some older versions of Windows.

1.1.1 Windows Presentation Foundation

1.1.2 Windows Communication Foundation

1.1.3 Windows Workflow Foundation

1.1.4 Windows CardSpace

1.1.5 Language Integrated Query
Language Integrated Query (LINQ, pronounced "link") is a Microsoft .NET Framework component that adds native data querying capabilities to .NET languages using a syntax reminiscent of SQL. Many of the concepts that LINQ has introduced were originally tested in Microsoft's Cω research project. LINQ was released as a part of .NET Framework 3.5 on November 19, 2007.
LINQ defines a set of query operators that can be used to query, project and filter data in arrays, enumerable classes, XML, relational database, and third party data sources. While it allows any data source to be queried, it requires that the data be encapsulated as objects. So, if the data source does not natively store data as objects, the data must be mapped to the object domain. Queries written using the query operators are executed either by the LINQ query processing engine or, via an extension mechanism, handed over to LINQ providers which either implement a separate query processing engine or translate to a different format to be executed on a separate data store (such as on a database server as SQL queries). The results of a query are returned as a collection of in-memory objects that can be enumerated.

2. Mobile Application

2.1 Java ME
In computing, the Java Platform, Micro Edition or Java ME (previously known as Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition or J2ME) is a specification of a subset of the Java platform aimed at providing a certified collection of Java APIs for the development of software for small, resource-constrained devices such as cell phones, PDAs and set-top boxes.
Java ME was designed by Sun Microsystems and is a replacement for a similar technology, PersonalJava. Originally developed under the Java Community Process as JSR 68, the different flavors of Java ME have evolved in separate JSRs. Sun provides a reference implementation of the specification, but has tended not to provide free binary implementations of its Java ME runtime environment for mobile devices, rather relying on third parties to provide their own.
As of 22 December 2006, the Java ME source code is licensed under the GNU General Public License, and is released under the project name phoneME.

http://java.sun.com/javame/index.jsp

2.2 .NET Compact Framework
The Microsoft .NET Compact Framework (.NET CF) is a version of the .NET Framework that is designed to run on Windows CE based mobile/embedded devices such as PDAs, mobile phones, factory controllers, set-top boxes, etc. The .NET Compact Framework uses some of the same class libraries as the full .NET Framework and also a few libraries designed specifically for mobile devices such as Windows CE InputPanel.
It is possible to develop applications which use the .NET Compact Framework in Visual Studio.NET 2003, in Visual Studio 2005 and in Visual Studio 2008, in C# or Visual Basic.NET. The resulting applications are designed to run on a special, mobile-device, high performance JIT compiler.
To be able to run applications powered by the .NET Compact Framework, the platform must support the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework runtime. Some operating systems which do include .NET CF are Windows CE 4.1, Microsoft Pocket PC, Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 and Smartphone 2003. .NET Compact Framework applications don't run on desktop computers with the full .NET Framework, because, although the executable files are binary compatible, they use a different digital signature. This is used to prevent a user from trying to run a full .NET application in a .NET Compact Framework device.

2.3 Android
Android is a software platform for mobile devices based on the Linux operating system and developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance.[1] It allows developers to write managed code in Java that utilizes Google-developed software libraries,[2] but does not support programs developed in native code.

3.3 Java EE

3.3.1 Spring Framework
Website http://www.springframework.org
The Spring Framework (or Spring for short) is an open source application framework for the Java platform. The first version was written by Rod Johnson, who first released it with the publication of his book Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development (Wrox Press, October 2002). A port is available for the .NET Framework.[1]
The framework was first released under the Apache 2.0 license in June 2003. The first milestone release, 1.0, was released in March 2004, with further milestone releases in September 2004 and March 2005.
Although the Spring Framework does not enforce any specific programming model, it has become popular in the Java community as an alternative, replacement, or even addition to the Enterprise JavaBean (J2EE) model. By design, the framework offers a lot of freedom to Java developers yet provides well documented and easy-to-use solutions for common practices in the industry.
While the core features of the Spring Framework are usable in any Java application, there are many extensions and improvements for building web-based applications on top of the Java Enterprise platform. Spring has gained a lot of popularity because of this, and is recognized by vendors as a strategically important framework.

3.3.2 Apache Struts
Apache Struts is an open-source web application framework for developing Java EE web applications. It uses and extends the Java Servlet API to encourage developers to adopt a model- view-controller (MVC) architecture. It was originally created by Craig McClanahan and donated to the Apache Foundation in May, 2000. Formerly located under the Apache Jakarta Project and known as Jakarta Struts, it became a top level Apache project in 2005.
Design goals and overview
In a standard Java EE web application, the client will typically submit information to the server via a web form. The information is then either handed over to a Java Servlet which processes it, interacts with a database and produces an HTML-formatted response, or it is given to a JavaServer Pages (JSP) document which intermingles HTML and Java code to achieve the same result. Both approaches are often considered inadequate for large projects because they mix application logic with presentation and make maintenance difficult.
The goal of Struts is to cleanly separate the model (application logic that interacts with a database) from the view (HTML pages presented to the client) and the controller (instance that passes information between view and model). Struts provides the controller (a servlet known as ActionServlet) and facilitates the writing of templates for the view or presentation layer (typically in JSP, but XML/XSLT and Velocity are also supported). The web application programmer is responsible for writing the model code, and for creating a central configuration file struts-config.xml which binds together model, view and controller.
Requests from the client are sent to the controller in the form of "Actions" defined in the configuration file; if the controller receives such a request it calls the corresponding Action class which interacts with the application specific model code. The model code returns an "ActionForward", a string telling the controller which output page to send to the client. Information is passed between model and view in the form of special JavaBeans. A powerful custom tag library allows it to read and write the content of these beans from the presentation layer without the need for any embedded Java code.
Struts also supports i18n (internationalization), provides facilities for the validation of data submitted by web forms, and includes a template mechanism called "Tiles" which (for instance) allows the presentation layer to be composed from independent header, footer, and content components.

3.3.3 Hibernate
Hibernate is an object-relational mapping (ORM) library for the Java language, providing a framework for mapping an object-oriented domain model to a traditional relational database. Hibernate solves Object- Relational impedance mismatch problems by replacing direct persistence- related database accesses with high-level object handling functions.
Hibernate is free as open source software that is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.

3.4.1 CakePHP
CakePHP is an open source web application framework written in PHP, modeled after the concepts of Ruby on Rails, and distributed under the MIT License.
CakePHP started in 2005, when Ruby on Rails was gaining popularity. The community has since grown and spawned several sub-projects. CakePHP is not a port of Ruby on Rails to PHP, but appropriates many of its useful concepts.
The Mambo Foundation announced in 2007 that it would utilize the CakePHP framework for future versions of its widely used content management system, calling CakePHP a "solid choice and certainly one of the top frameworks available today."

3.4.3 Zend Framework
Zend Framework is an open source, object-oriented web application framework implemented in PHP 5 and licensed under the New BSD License. Zend Framework—often referred to as ZF—is developed with the goal of simplifying web development while promoting best practices in the PHP developer community.
ZF's use-at-will architecture allows developers to reuse components when and where they make sense in their applications without requiring other ZF components beyond minimal dependencies. There is therefore no single development paradigm or pattern that all Zend Framework users must follow, although ZF does provide components for the MVC and Table Gateway design patterns which are used in most ZF applications. Zend Framework provides individual components for many other common requirements in web application development, including authentication and authorization via access control lists (ACL), application configuration, data caching, filtering/validation of user-provided data for security and data integrity, internationalization, interfaces to AJAX functionality, email composition/delivery, Lucene-format search indexing and querying, and all Google Data APIs along with many other popular web services. Because of their loosely coupled design, ZF components can be used relatively easy alongside components from other PHP web application frameworks.[1]

4. Alternative

4.1 Python
Python is a general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes programmer productivity and code readability.[2] Python's core syntax and semantics are minimalist, while the standard library is large and comprehensive.
Python supports multiple programming paradigms (primarily functional, object oriented and imperative), and features a fully dynamic type system and automatic memory management; it is thus similar to Perl, Ruby, Scheme, and Tcl.

4.1.1 Jython
Jython, formerly known as JPython, is an implementation of the Python programming language written in Java.
Jython programs can seamlessly import and use any Java class. Except for some standard modules, Jython programs use Java classes instead of Python modules. Jython includes almost all of the modules in the standard Python programming language distribution, lacking only some of the modules implemented originally in C. For example, a user interface in Jython would be written with Swing, AWT or SWT. Jython compiles to Java bytecode either on demand or statically.
Jython also includes jythonc, a compiler that converts Python source code into Java bytecode (intermediate language). This allows Python programmers to write classes which can be fully utilized by a Java program.
See related topics and documents
http://www.jython.org/

4.1.2 IronPython
IronPython is an implementation of the Python programming language, targeting .NET and Mono, created by Jim Hugunin. Version 1.0 was released on September 5, 2006.[1]
IronPython is written entirely in C#, although some of its code is automatically generated by a code generator written in Python.
See related topics and documents
http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?Pro...Name=IronPython

4.2 Ruby
Ruby is a dynamic, reflective, general purpose object-oriented programming language. Originating in Japan in the mid 1990s, Ruby was initially developed and designed by Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto and combines syntax inspired by Perl with Smalltalk-like object-oriented features.
Ruby supports multiple programming paradigms (including functional, object oriented and imperative), and features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management; it is therefore similar in varying respects to Python, Perl, Lisp, Dylan, and CLU.
In its current, official implementation, written in C, Ruby is a single-pass interpreted language. As of 2008, there are a number of alternative implementations of the Ruby language, including Rubinius, JRuby and IronRuby, each of which takes a different approach, with JRuby providing just- in-time compilation functionality.

4.2.1 Ruby on Rails (RoR)
Ruby on Rails is a free web application framework designed to make web development faster, simpler and more efficient. Often shortened to Rails, or RoR, Ruby on Rails is written in the Ruby programming language.
See related topics and documents
http://www.rubyonrails.org/

JRuby
JRuby is a Java implementation of the Ruby interpreter, being developed by the JRuby team.
JRuby is free software released under a three-way CPL/GPL/LGPL license.
JRuby is tightly integrated with Java to allow the embedding of the interpreter into any Java application with full two-way access between the Java and the Ruby code. (Compare Jython for the Python language.)
See related topics and documents
http://jruby.codehaus.org/

IronRuby
IronRuby is an upcoming implementation of the Ruby programming language targeting Microsoft .NET framework. It is implemented on top of the Dynamic Language Runtime, a library running on top of CLR 2.0 that provides dynamic typing and dynamic method dispatch, among others, for dynamic languages.
See related topics and documents
http://www.ironruby.net/

4.3 Groovy
Groovy is an object-oriented programming language for the Java Platform as an alternative to the Java programming language. It is an agile and dynamic language. It can be viewed as a scripting language for the Java Platform, as it has features similar to those of Python, Ruby, Perl, and Smalltalk. In some contexts, the name JSR 241 is used as an alternate identifier for the Groovy language.
Groovy uses a Java-like curly bracket syntax which is dynamically compiled to Java Virtual Machine bytecodes and which works seamlessly with other Java code and libraries. The Groovy compiler can be used to generate standard Java bytecode to be used by any Java project. Most Java code is valid Groovy syntax and can be used dynamically as a scripting language.
Groovy is

* is an agile and dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine
* builds upon the strengths of Java but has additional power features inspired by languages like Python, Ruby and Smalltalk
* makes modern programming features available to Java developers with almost-zero learning curve
* supports Domain-Specific Languages and other compact syntax so your code becomes easy to read and maintain
* makes writing shell and build scripts easy with its powerful processing primitives, OO abilities and an Ant DSL
* increases developer productivity by reducing scaffolding code when developing web, GUI, database or console applications
* simplifies testing by supporting unit testing and mocking out-of-the-box
* seamlessly integrates with all existing Java objects and libraries
* compiles straight to Java bytecode so you can use it anywhere you can use Java

Groovy 1.5, the latest major and stable version of the popular dynamic language for the JVM, has been released. In a nutshell, it brings new features like Java 5 annotations, generics and enums, it provides significant performance gains, new meta-programming capabilities, new and improved tooling support like the new joint Groovy/Java compiler, the new interactive shell, or the Groovy Swing console, and a few other additions in its syntax, like the new Elvis operator or the ability to omit parentheses in methods with named arguments to make DSLs even more readable. InfoQ covers the novelties in this new milestone of the project. With all these improvements and new features, don't waste a single second, go download Groovy 1.5 and give it a try.

4.3.1 Grails (Framework)
Grails is an open source web application framework which leverages the Groovy programming language (which is in turn based on the Java platform). Grails is intended to be a high-productivity framework by following the "coding by convention" paradigm, providing a stand-alone development environment and hiding much of the configuration detail from the developer.
Grails has been developed with a number of goals in mind:

* Provide a high-productivity web framework for the Java platform.
* Re-use proven Java technologies such as Hibernate and Spring under a simple, consistent interface
* Offer a consistent framework which reduces confusion and is easy to learn.
* Offer documentation for those parts of the framework which matter for its users.
* Provide what users expect in areas which are often complex and inconsistent:
o Powerful and consistent persistence framework.
o Powerful and easy to use view templates using GSP (Groovy Server Pages).
o Dynamic tag libraries to easily create web page components.
o Good Ajax support which is easy to extend and customize.
* Provide sample applications which demonstrate the power of the framework.
* Provide a complete development mode, including web server and automatic reload of resources.
