Live documentation with Evernote
Luca | April 12, 2008I recently discovered Evernote, a tool to capture and search information easily ( on the web, with a fat client or a mobile one)
The coolest thing is that the client does Optical Character Recognition on pictures.
Evernote looks really good for ToDo lists and GTD stuff but I actually see it as an incredible tool for traking info for a project.
Think at this scenario: quick meeting to clarify some bits regarding your new project Foo1(let’s say the build pipeline).
At the end of the meeting we have a pretty good idea and everything is on the flip chart/whiteboard.
We just need to take a picture of the defined pipeline and upload it in Evernote. Now the snapshot is a live document: we can easily search it using any of the words we wrote on the flip chart !
It’s still not perfect, but it’s definitively worth to give to these guys a bit of time to improve somethings that it’s already looking pretty cool.
Hi Luca, have you had a look at maven (maven.apache.org).
Stefano Fornari | April 24, 2008Hi Luca, have you had a look at maven (maven.apache.org). It is just great, even if you’ll have the same issue with .net
Hi Stefano, I haven't actually tried Maven but Maven itself
Luca | April 25, 2008Hi Stefano, I haven’t actually tried Maven but Maven itself uses Ivy as dependency manager, so I’m sure it works pretty well.
Where did you get the information that maven uses Ivy
Stefano Fornari | April 26, 2008Where did you get the information that maven uses Ivy as dependency manager? I do not actually think so. BTW, maven is much more than a dependency manager. To me Maven stays to programming languages like OOP stays to procedural languages. You can find more information on Ivy vs Maven2 in the links below, but if you are dealing with a complex project structure, I really suggest you spend some time to play with Maven.

Stefano you're actually right ! I did some additional researches and
Luca | April 27, 2008Stefano you’re actually right !
I did some additional researches and Maven is not using Ivy as dependency manager; not sure from where that idea came from, but I was wrong.
Thank you for the hint.
