Ramblings of a Developer
In my previous post I showed different ways in which we can parse XML document in Java. You must have noticed the code being too much verbose. Other JVM languages like Groovy, Scala provide much better support for parsing XML documents. In this post I give you the code to parse the XML document in … Read more
This sample uses- TabPane, GridView and Bindings in javafx 2.0.
I had quite sometime back played around with JavaFX and had good and bad experiences using the language. With the JavaFX 2.0 beta being released I thought of giving it a try. Here I developed a simple Geocoding application which will take the address and provide the latitude-longitude values for that location- using Google Geocoding API.
I happened to work on Groovy while I was developing using Gaelyk and I found Groovy lot easier to write- I never thought of the types and this really helped me to make my code
simpler and easier to write. And when you are dealing with RESTful APIs- you ought to be parsing XML,JSON and what not. As a Java programmer- I never enjoyed it. But Groovy really made parsing xml fun again.
In Selection sort technique the list is scanned to find the smallest element and it is then exchanged with the first element, putting the smallest element in its final position i.e at the beginning. Then the list is scanned starting from the second element to find the smallest among the remaining n-1 elements and exchange it with the second element to put the second smallest element in its final position. In general in the ith pass the algorithm searches for the smallest number from the n-i elements and swaps it with the element in the ith position i.e Ai. The list is sorted after n-1 passes.
