Ashwin Jayaprakash is a software engineer at BEA Systems R & D Centre, Bangalore, using Java/J2EE to develop WebLogic Integration products.

After brief stints at Intel and IBM, a self-confessed geek, he stays awake working through weekends at home, experimenting with new technologies. His "hobby projects" include a WorkFlow engine called "Ngin" (duh!), using Jini, JavaSpaces and BeanShell. His recent hobby project was a semi-automatic spam filter written in Java.

Towards Bug-Free Code
Publish Date: Dec. 22, 2004Test-driven development sometimes sounds better than it turns out to be. Early decisions to tightly couple functional parts of your system can make it a lot less amenable to testing than it ought to be. As Ashwin Jayaprakash shows, J2SE 5.0's generics make working with abstract classes and interfaces easier than it used to be, which encourages loose coupling and facilitates testing. BlackMamba: A Swing Case Study
Publish Date: Mar. 10, 2004It's one thing to learn the bits and pieces of a Swing GUI -- how to create a model and wire it up to a JTable or JTree. It's quite another to think through and develop a full-blown application. Ashwin Jayaprakash uses an email client, BlackMamba, to show how the pieces of a Swing application fit together. SearchAssist: A Portable Search Engine in Java
Publish Date: Oct. 1, 2003While server-side Java solves many problems, it's not always available. Besides, there's more to a good UI than HTML can provide. Sometimes an applet can fit the bill. Ashwin Jayaprakash demonstrates a search engine applet designed for portability and power.
