Tenthline

Enrico is a web technologist with an Honours Bachelor degree from York University in Computer Science. He has expertise in web standards such as (X)HTML, CSS, and Javascript with a focus on cross-browser compatibility and accessibility, and has worked on a number of web projects, including the very blog you're reading right now.

He is Tenthline's Java expert, with broad experience in J2EE, Tomcat, Spring, Hibernate, JSF, NetBeans, Eclipse, Ant, Maven, JUnit, and Cobertura, to name only a few. He has done web content management work with Fatwire Content Server and Alfresco, and identity management work with Sun Identity Manager. He is also Tenthline's go-to guy for installing and maintaining the many VMWare machines we use to develop, test, and evaluate new software.

Enrico loves problem solving and higher mathematics. He has participated in a number of programming contests through TopCoder and has led York University programming contest teams to compete with the very best in the ACM regional programming contest in East Central North America. He is very diligent in his attention to small details and easily forms mental models of new software systems. Michael has told him that he's rather like an IDE, only more intelligent and with a much better personality.

Recently, he has been following trends in "Enterprise 2.0" and identity topics such as federation, SSO, and role management. He is a strong supporter of and advocate for open source and free software.

I am proud to announce that we’ve just officially launched our brand new Tenthline.com and Tenthline.blog(), both designed and built by Yours Truly.

Web layout with CSS is usually painful.  Sure, it’s better than the alternative — trust me, I’ve written enough table-based layouts to know — but at the same time it is painful enough that many insist that web designers should just give up on CSS layout all together.

We’ve blogged about the Ingres/Alfresco combination before, but recently Ingres announced the release of Icebreaker, a full ECM appliance that combines a solid Linux OS base with Ingres DBMS and Alfresco 3.0.1.  Today, I installed the appliance and started poking around the web administration interface.  I must say that I’m really impressed.
