I wanted to copyright my new mnemonic and was looking for an easy way to do so. Since google indexes EVERYTHING and my blog posts are date-time stamped I thought I could copyright it by simply posting 🙂
So here is is.
“Use the SOFTWARE principle in your development!
S eparate API from implementation
O SGi over J2EE
F ind simplest/smallest solution
T est drive your development
W ork out your alternatives
A ssertions and checked exceptions
R euse dont re-write, and refactor often
E ngage others early”
Paul Warren 
great…
