Hello, world.

March 14 2007 by admin in General |No Comments

I do read weblogs. I started reading them much more. Why am I doing this? Well.. I’m a believer that information sharing does make other people’s work more fun. And not only work, but people lives overall. Sharing knowledge and thoughts is a big step towards building communities. Weblog allows to publish thoughts, opinions, ideas, concerns to the readers. While the readers can open a dialog on a discussed topic using comments.
I wanted to create my personal weblog long ago, but I guess I finally made it.
I work as a software engineer in a group that creates a very important product. This product is not as well-known as Java or Solaris. I’d say most of software engineers in this huge world do not know about it. However without this product there will be no Java as we know it. At least Java will not be as good, as popular and as wide-spread as it is and as we want it to be. Without this product there will be no WORA (write once run anywhere). Yes, I’m talking about compatibility. And the product is a TCK (Technology Compatibility Kit) for Java. In two words TCK is a test suite, which makes sure that implementations of Java conform to the specification. My group works under several TCK’s. But the main one is for Java SE platform.
There are several different areas in JCK (TCK for Java SE): API, Java Language and VM.
My area that I work on for more than 2 years is "Java Language". I write compiler and runtime tests to make sure that Sun’s and other companies’ implementations behave exactly as it is said in the JLS (Java Language Specification).
In this weblog I will try to share my knowledge, my opinions and thoughts regarding my work.
PS: English is not my native language. That’s why I would like to apologize for possible mistakes (I’m sure there are many of them already) and weird sentances in my weblog. I’ll try to do my best.
