Team. This is not being posted four days early! It might seem that this project has been abandoned. We simply have not been maintaining a daily web history of our activities. We are still slowly progressing on our tutorial text. A friend at the local JAVA User's Group (JUG) suggested that we use www.leanpub.com for its delivery if we self-publish. Thanks for this suggestion. We are running the CABOOSE JAVA archive through our simple quality assurance process, and integrating it with our tutorials. We have not forgotten some of our earlier goals such as trace-able specifications and development artifacts for the CABOOSE project. We will improve upon these incrementally, iteratively, and optimize them as CABOOSE matures. Also, the CABOOSE team which is currently flying the NuevoArchitect banner at www.nuevoarchitect.com often will work on a project as a lark if they feel that it might support our long-term goals. So, we might potentially raise some funds for our efforts we have started a career listings service at www.jobberox.com. Currently, our network is building a list of courtesy listings in the fifty largest postal codes in the United States. This augments the zero-cost listing placed by many businesses through America. If you are a small businessperson or represent a medium or large corporation and would like another avenue for reaching potential employees, place a listing on Jobberox. These efforts our set-up as a DBA (Do Business As) the name of this weblog owner. Jobberox is seen by over a hundred thousand sets of eyes each month. We are slowly gaining brand recognition and strength. Hopefully, this small effort will help a great employee reach a wonderful employer and keep this economy rolling. Give and freely it shall be given unto you once again.

Pages from the Ozark-CABOOSE Book
Team. We received some wonderful feedback from http://www.thinkittraining.in. It is nice knowing that our work is appreciated. Thank you so much for your positive words of encouragement. Positive encouraging words are trees of life.
The primary developer for CABOOSE and the author of its tutorial text has had quite an interesting journey in life. Truth is much stranger than fiction as has often been said.
He unfortunately and unjustly developed a reputation for generating vaporware in the late 1990s while working for a small telephonics company. Apparently, he inadvertently provided a UNIX tape archive file (*.tar) on a 3.5 in disc which was corrupted. This did not please his supervisor when he tried accessing the computer telephony integration software in the archive a few months later.
This was an unfortunate accident. Since the archive was requested "asap", mostly likely the disc was removed from the drive before it completed spinning. This frequently corrupted such media. Haste makes waste.
The archive itself was intact. A quick UNIX "undelete" would have restored the archive and the original files on the development box. Unfortunately, those resources had been acquired by another entity who had been short-changed in the transaction. So, he did not help the telephony company recover its software.
Yet, so this weblogs readership knows that this upcoming text is not mere vaporware, you can read a few of its pages. The appendix might seem a bit implausible. Simply, consider it part of "computing's urban legend". However, in the United States of America, those who are in not in the majority must often find a European American counterpart for promoting our work and ideas. This has been the case for quite some time.
The history of the development of modern respirators is an example. Covering one's mouth with a wet rag so one might breathe while escaping a burning building was nothing new. But, it was a man of near African descent who envision placing a wet sponge in a mask which covered one's face which resulted in the modern respirators that now use more sophisticated materials for filtering harmful particles out of the air. However, at the time which he thought of it, the vast majority of businesses would not partner with him. So, he found a European counterpart who could be the "face" of his company.
Being that America is built upon close family and friend networks and these relationships often cross color lines, many modern entrepreneurs in minority groups still use this practice. This weblog author has spoken with a few African American small businessmen who say that they have found that often the sellers in the majority who work for their suppliers will negotiate better deals when they work with one of their employees who is a member of the majority. This is also true for the buyers of their products. This is the nature of business in the States. And, it might be the nature of business when working in any country in which one is part of a minority group. This is not a scathing criticism or cry of racism. It is simply a dynamic of modern business.
We hope that you enjoy the short-read of about twenty pages from the Ozark-CABOOSE book. Hopefully, it inspires you so you might dream big dreams and pray for their realization. But, above all in this modern world, let us seek peace and pursue it. Hunting, Pecking, and Thinking during one's workday is a proper step in the right direction.
Although this is officially a dreaded Monday. Mondays are simply the Fridays before the Fridays before the Fridays before the Fridays before the actual Friday. So Relax. The weekend is almost here. Mindset is everything! So have some fun and watch time fly!
May You Enjoy This Work Week.

New OpenSource Site Design
Team. We have settled on a new site design for NuevoArchitect. It gives a little more insight about short-term and long-term goals. We found a responsive HTML template that we could adapt and spent about eight man-hours creating a storyboard. In the coming weeks, we will integrate our PHP CABOOSE prototype controller with it.

MVC 1.0 Ozark with CABOOSE
Team. We are making progress on the text. Our last step is merging our Netbeans tutorials which uses the latest edition of the CABOOSE JAVA archive. These are in progress. Whether one of the larger technical publishing houses accepts the work or it is self-published, a web-link for it on Amazon will be placed on the weblog and on the http://www.nuevoarchitect.com site. If it is self-published, that link will be coming sooner.
Happy Coding! Hunt...Peck...Think....Look For The Obvious...

Community Service Post - Swaddling Clothes Project
Over the past few years, the author of this weblog has participated
in an annual project which supplies the local shelter network with warm
clothes for the homeless in the city. This is particularly important in our
vicinity where wind chills can dip below eighty minus Fahrenheit during
mid and late January. If you would be interested in finding out more
about the project and possibly donating, please visit the GoFundMe Campaign for Swaddling Clothes.You might considering starting this in your area of the country.

Freedom of Expression and Idea Exchange
Team. We have made some progress over the past few months. This effort started nearly a year before this weblog with a request of the JAVA Community Process (JCP). It is an incredibly enjoyable experience. In terms of computer speak, life is often an series experiential transactions forming the totality of its process. A popular American singer from the last millennium coined phrase in a popular song which said that, "The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time." plus all the undulations in happenstance which occur therein.
It should be noted that this was chosen as an open-source project. This was done so this development approach, which is useful in many areas of web application development but not universal, could freely proliferate. This framework for development lacks universal applicability since the "dynamic invocation" of methods through JAVA's Reflection API adds a time cost.
If not mentioned early, please freely use the ideas contained in this weblog improving and adapting them as needed.
Finally, Google's Blogger let's its writers know which geographic areas of the WWW are viewing the articles. So, for some of our newer viewers, the following message produced with an on-line translating service will be our closing:
Pour nos nouveaux visiteurs du Congo. Merci beaucoup pour votre intérêt. S'il vous plaît utiliser librement toutes les idées qui sont utiles. Puissiez-vous être richement bénis dans vos efforts de calcul.
Happy Coding! The CABOOSE Team.

Touching Base - Book + Source
Team. We are still working on the tutorial book and the source for CABOOSE. Oracle's Ozark Model-View-Controller 1.0 should be delivered soon. We have been lurking on their mailing list. Interestingly enough, it appears that the Ozark team has added support for template engines. We only glanced at the source for template support which can be found here.
Enjoy Your Coding Adventures! The CABOOSE Team.
