We need to pay homage to the open source web framework that we used to build the front end to jobtitled.com. If you haven’t decided what Java framework to use for your web app, at least give Wicket a chance. Version 1.4 has just been released:
The Apache Wicket project is proud to announce the release of [...]
Okay, something isn’t right here. Either bit.ly is lying or Google Analytics is lying. Or I’m missing something. If you aren’t familiar with bit.ly it’s one of the many URL shorteners out there. It’s very commonly used on Twitter where there is a 140 character posting limit. It also provides stats for who clicked on [...]
JobTitled is finally live. :) We are in public beta. From conception to today it’s been an insane amount of hard work and long nights getting it to where it is today (tonight being one of those nights.) I’d like to thank my trusty sidekick Joe for helping me in this development journey. I’d like [...]
JobTitled has moved! We upgraded our server and connection in preparation for going into public beta. Please let us know if you experience any new issues. Keep the feedback coming!
I had an idea in mind, but in order to prove it would work I needed some sample data. After much digging I found various places on the internet where I could get resumes. Lots of them. After some hard work and trial and error the first prototype was born. By prototype, I mean a [...]
After tweaking the parsing engine I am currently running our complete set (millions) of resumes through the parse and inserting into our database. This is the first time I have run these processes on the complete set. Up until now we have been doing development with a subset of approximately 1/15th of the total. Now [...]
Since our budget is non-existent and we don’t like re-inventing the wheel, much of JobTitled is built using open source projects. Open source is a great thing and the software development community as whole benefits greatly from it. I’ve mentioned a few already in this blog, I’m going to give props to a few more [...]
The TODO lists are getting longer, and the days are getting shorter. Okay, technically the days are getting longer too since we are in Spring, but I digress. At least the TODO items themselves are getting smaller. It seems like we should be making more use of our bug tracking software (we’re using Bugzilla.) The [...]
We are in the process of conforming to RESTful URLs. I guess I would have hoped it would have taken less effort to get this done. The JobTitled web application has been developed using Wicket. As much as I love Wicket, and as much time as it has saved us, the friendly URL mechanism seems [...]
