Intro 2 PEGA PRPC

Hi, I am going to present something i known about PEGA PRPC (Pega Rule Process Commander). The first good news to all NON-IT guys is: "This is the product for you all". To become a PEGA PRPC developer, you don't need to know any CSE stuff other than some OO concepts and little bit of java. For all IT and Research guys, this is the area to consider as next gen programming paradigm. The core concept of PEGA PRPC revolves around " Changes in software with time is inevitable ". And PEGA PRPC's work is to cut down the costs involved during those changes. Most of the products will spend 70% of their life time in maintenance adjusting themselves with the changing requirements of client / end user. To make this phase easier and cheap, we have to follow various software development methodologies like XP and follow industries best practices and coding conventions and Knowledge transfers ....... Blah Blah..........Blah. PEGA products (www.pega.com) tag itself says how ...

Reading Excel sheet using java

Hi all, As part of my current project requirement, i have to read an excel file and store that one into a Database. Lets see how i did it and that may save you some time. First thing that comes into picture is how to read Excel without using any Third party tools. Licensing is a big problem. So we have to achieve it using native JDK support. We can achieve this by considering the EXCEL document as a database file. To connect to this DB, we need to use the Microsoft provided Excel Database Drivers. (we can found them in Control panel --> Administrative Tools --> ODBC Data Source Administrator. Click Add and find the Microsoft Excel Driver (*xls)) Use the appropriate DNS name (say ExcelDNS ) and select the workbook (say ExcelFile). Remaining everything is similar to connecting to Other DBs. Here is the Sample Code for it /* * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates * and open the template in the editor. */ package japp; import java.io.*; import java.sql.*; /** * * @author...

Why Chiru?

I don't want to say Chiru will do wonders. But he is not mastered in looting the people like others. He is not an experienced Politician .Its a great Qualification. One of my friend raised an objection here saying that " being in-experienced politican how its going to be a great qualification and do you thinking that all current politicans are bad" i am accepting his comments and removing a few words from my article.... He is a new comer into this field, so by the time he learns how to do all these things, it will take some time. As a fresher, he will may try to do some thing good for till he get defeated. By the track record of Chiru, i don't think, he will get defeated. Just because he became No.1 in a field which similarly ruled on the base of caste. But he conquered it not just with Charishma and acting. He know how to win. Another comment is how chiru's past track record in Movie field will guarentee success in completely different "Political field...
