Book Review : Refactoring by Martin Fowler

Brilliant book and must read one for Software engineers and Java developers. Why i emphasis this book? This book would help us to communicate efficiently. When i start reading Gang of 4 book and Head First Design Patterns, i start wondered that "hey, we did that 2 years ago and it should be called "Factory Pattern" etc etc. Giving an industry standard name for an activity is really important and it is the progression of IT industry. Once we are all familiar with naming and concept then our job is very easy to perform and make quality software. Here after i no need to explain moving method from a class to other class because of blah blah reason, just refer Martin Fowler refactoring pattern "Move Method(142)". Through out the book, i was excited to see Martin Fowler captured everything in detail related to refactoring which we facing in our day by day activity. Nowadays IT industry code development become static, thanks to current economic downturn and baby boo

Public Health Insurance

A soft spoken, intellectual liberal's thought process is, our country is world's super power, rich country but 50 million people are without a basic insurance, 18,000 people dying without a proper insurance per year, hmm..what is the solution? As always, liberals want to address this by providing a government sponsored, a well funded, a perfect public health care to all citizen. In long run, they want to integrate all into one universal insurance, 100% funded by government. A well mannered, easily spark towards any new reforms conservatives, opposing this plan on every town hall meeting. They are getting a sizable support from senior citizens and business people. They are pointing out the source of funding, already U.S government spent trillions of trillion for economy and deficit is higher than any other time, GM and some banks are under government watch. The situation is not good for any reform for now and 180 million citizens are happy with current plan so do senior citiz

The definition of " Democracy"

Almost all of my Indian friends and relatives and parents are always shows me a kind of frustration about India, when ever we are in talk about our country. The lists are 1. Inadequate infrastructure. 2. Unbearable Bureaucracy. 3. Corrupted politicians. 4. Reservation 5. Arranged marriage 6. Arrogant government employees and able to form teams to protest against government for their own salary hike. 7. Social economy structure. 8. Caste system. 9. Unmovable justice system. and the list goes on and on. But everybody moving their status from poor to middle class and middle class to rich and so on. I agree with most of it, that is, yes we have poor infrastructure, mainly because of people like us, we used our "democracy" process to stop government's planning on infrastructure developments. We overload our justice system, we misused social system as a result we get into prolong reservation system. If we start deeply thinking, we people created all the mess and expect

How to reduce weight: From a foodie after quit smoking

Weight loss is kind of epidemic in around world. A friend of mine hardly 100 lbs, worried much and trying to reduce non-existence fat [Pun Intended]. A regular exercise with controlled diet is really important for healthy life style but too much diet and harsh weight loss are not good for one’s health. Here my post, I’m concentrate on weight gain after quit smoking and how to reduce it. After quit smoking, we tend eat more which is unavoidable. As per my opinion, don’t stop it, eat as much as we can and gaining 10-20 lbs doesn’t matter, what matter is 1000+ chemicals from smoking. When I quit smoking I was ranging between 180 lbs to 190 lbs, but after quit smoking it raised to 220 lbs. After a month and half, regular exercise and diet now my weight is 199 lbs. I’m not writing this for my self pride, there are some out there still smoking thinking about weight gain after quit smoking. 1.
