Java coders have lost their POJO (Dec 01 2003 15:18 GMT) - In an interview about Java programming, author Bruce Tate uses a term several times without explanation: POJO. The same acronym is popular on the Apache Geronimo developer's list, so I looked for a definition.

It appears to have been coined by Martin Fowler in the book Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture: |

I even resisted the urge to go into a rant on why a computer screen was not the right tool for this task, no matter how good the software. She quickly worked out a system that worked for her, and all was well. |

I [Something] N.Z. (Dec 01 2003 15:16 GMT) - What exactly is the graphic on the Orlando Bloom's New Zealand t-shirt? Are three dots a Maori symbol? Abstract Mickey Mouse? Some sort of mathematical operation, like in the SATs? We tried to see if it was for sale at the New Zealand tourism site, but no luck. |
