Twenty years ago, as a maths-and-computing undergraduate at the university of Bath, I was introduced to functional programming using the ML language by the excellent Julian Padget. We undergrads were set the traditional assignment of writing a sed-like text processor in ML, and found it first baffling and then, if we were lucky, rather exciting.… Continue reading Functional programming and the joy of learning something again

“Various nifty functions”
Further to the code-literate judge in Oracle v Google, via Groklaw we now have his ruling that the Java APIs are not copyrightable. It's an exceptionally clear piece of work and a good introduction to the subject. I certainly couldn't have written a better technical summary, although I'm sure there are bits that a non-programmer… Continue reading “Various nifty functions”

In this series... Introduction, outlining the general steps from starting with a C++ library to being able to build and run simple tests on some JNI wrappers; Part 1, in which I design some simple Java classes and generate the stub wrapper code; Part 2, in which I add just enough of the implementation to… Continue reading Wrapping a C++ library with JNI, part 4
