I have already written about approximations of e^x, log(x) and pow(a, b) in my post Optimized Exponential Functions for Java. Now I have more In particular, the pow() function is now even faster, simpler, and more accurate. Without further ado, I proudly give you the brand new approximation:
Approximation of pow() in Java

The Javadoc Search Engine now searches JDK 7 too:

Go here: javadoc.ankerl.com

It’s still a draft, so the documentation is surely subject to change. You can also use the search directly from here:

happy hacking!

Markus Holzmann, an intern at Profactor of my fellow colleague Philipp Hartl, had the opportunity to experiment with Ajax during his job. He wrote a tutorial about how to push events from the server to the client. For example, display popup messages on all browsers at the same time (see screencast in full resolution here):

Thanks to Google Co-op I have just created a new search engine that searches the JDK documentation. It is quite convenient because you can use the labels to choose which version you like to see:

Happy googling.

I have updated the code for the Math.pow() approximation, now it is 11 times faster on my Pentium IV. Read Optimized Exponential Functions for Java for more information. Now I can also give you some benchmarks:
