Hello folks! My name is Tine KONDO, i am a 23 year-old computer scientist living in France .
I’m very passionated in writing windows and web applications, in particular with Java technologies and .NET Framework . But i am also excited about Qt, the best C++ framework ever, Google Web Toolkit, PHP, Design Patterns, and many more.
I love learning new programming technologies and best practices, open source, and keeping myself in touch with the latest news in software development.
In normal life, i adooore cooking! ( yes way 
). The reason is simple, i also adooore eating 
. For the rest, going out with my friends, making new friends, listening to music ( almost all the time), watching movies ( not that much lately), tennis constitute my favorites hobbies.

Use custom widgets with Qt Designer: Promotion technique
5Recently, i’ve been working on a school project (code name: Cute Collage), which consisted in designing a software that creates photo collages. We were asked to reproduce the exact same interface and functionalities as the famous Shape Collage, using the best C++ framework ever: Qt! Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework. It includes a cross-platform class library, integrated development tools and a cross-platform IDE. Using Qt, you can write web-enabled applications once and deploy them across many desktop and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source code.
As you can see on the figure above, Qt SDK comes with a set of useful development tools that help you in the design process. In Particular, a form More >

Create RIA Applications in Java with GWT
0Haven’t you always wanted to create Rich Internet Applications (RIA) in Javascript/AJAX but renounced to do so because you don’t know anything about these technologies ? Or you do know AJAX, but managing a code that will work for every web browser out there just drive you nuts. Besides, you find writing a non-trivial Javascript application very painful, given that you can’t debug your program, watch variables, find some errors without running the code, and the list continues. You know very well Java , and has been seduced by it since your write your first “Hello World” program ?
Well, Google Web Toolkit might seriously interest you!
What is GWT?
Google Web Toolkit, or GWT for intimate, is a development toolkit powered by Google, for building and optimizing complex browser-based applications. Technically, it is a Java framework, that can More >
Manage your Java projects with Maven
1There is nothing more irritating than working on a Java project that implies one or more libraries. You need to find and add to your class path, every single *.jar file required by each of them. Sometimes, different libraries rely on the same subsets, but use different versions. So to avoid conflicts, you need to find the right versions that work for all of them.
A typical example, is a web application involving Struts, Hibernate, and Spring. It can be a real nightmare to find out the correct set of *.jar files that will make those three frameworks happy. I’m not saying it’s impossible, for sure there are some talented developers out there who can achieve it quite easily. But for a beginner, i think this isn’t always an easy task.
Fortunately, there is a simple solution to More >
Link a Windows Forms Control to an Object: Data Binding
0Recently, i have been working on this project called EasyCRM. It’s an ASP.NET MVC 2 web application that offers functionalities to manage customer relationship . Anyway, in my application, i had several forms, to create/edit contacts, accounst, opportunities, tasks, etc. In the form that created a contact for instance, i could attached each of his fields, to the corresponding properties of an object of my class ‘Contact’. For example, a html input of type ‘text’ was associated to the property ‘FirstName’ of the ‘Contact’ object. When submitting the form, the ASP.NET MVC framework automatically set the value of the property ‘FirstName’ to whatever contained the input field. So in my response method, i could directly retrieved the whole filled-in object, instead of fetching each field individually. I was very amazed by this feature, that saved me so much time. So, i asked myself whether the More >
