Hi, I started proper programming with Java in 2001 and since then I was knew that Java is a language that has "Pass by value" for primitives and "Pass by reference" for the non-primitive types. I left programming in Java in 2004 and started using C#. Since last few months again I started part time development in J2ME and last week I came across a very interesting thing. I was sending a byte array as a parameter to a method and expecting to get the same parameter as an initialized array but I don't...

Further who can code based on standards and keep in mind best practices. I have been using FXCop for a long time and I love using it in my projects. Yesterday I came to see something new (for me) called StyleCop. I liked the...
