About Me

Me
My name is Ram Kulkarni. I live in Bangalore, India.

I have been developing software for more than two decades. I had written my first program in Fortran and since then I have been hooked to the programming.

Presently I am working at Adobe as a Sr. Engineering Manager. I worked in the ColdFusion team for ten years. I joined Macromedia just before ColdFusion 7 was about to release. Since then I have worked on ColdFusion 8, 9, 10 and 11. I implemented many features in ColdFusion like language features, runtime, debugger, exchange integration, mobile application support etc. However my most challenging project in Adobe has been ColdFusion Builder. ColdFusion Builder is an IDE for building ColdFusion application, and is built on top of Eclipse. My many blog posts are from leanings from these features. Past few years I have been managing number of a couple of products/projects at Adobe.

Recently I have developed interest in game development and  3D modelling and attempted a low-poly 3D game, ‘Single Wicket Cricket‘.

I have authored two books, both published by PACKT –

  1. Java Enterprise Edition Development with Eclipse – 3rd Edition (and 2nd Edition)
  2. Eclipse 4 RCP Development – How to

I have worked on a number of technologies; Server, IDE, Web Applications, Desktop Applications, Mobile Applications etc. Through this blog I will be sharing my experiences in working with these technologies.

  3. Hi Ram,

    While checking for a crypto solution in JS, I landed in your page. then I checked about you. Good to know about to you, also your passion for technology.
    I just downloaded your call annotation app, i love it. i used to get calls from many of my users, asking for some help, most of the time i don’t need to save their number, but i need to remember who called for what. which i used to do with offline notes.

    now using this, it is very easy to note something about a call… good thinking

  6. Hi Ram … just starting Java EE 8 Dev w/ Eclipse (Kindle)
    So far like the clear simple steps / explanations, however, hit 2 snags:

    1. RE: JSTL: Eclipse marks quotes in quotes (single, double or mixed) as an error and if both inner and outer quotes are same (single quote vs double) then gets error on run also:

    Solution seems to be to put outer quotes single (‘) and inner double (“), which does run, although an apparent Eclipse bug still shows error … so your text is incorrect AND probably should mention that Eclipse has a bug.

    Similarly, you need to publish an Errata page for things like this.

    2. Registered at http://www.packtpub.com/support ~ noon today to dl code … never got an email with link (I bought at amazon) … can you ping those guys to do their job in a timely maner? I WILL NOT be buying any more packtpub books if I cannot get the dl’s!!!! Nor recommend to others (quite the opposite.)

    As a final point I (IMHO) should be mentioned by this point in the book (not sure if you get to it later) is that the code can be stepped thru in DEBUG mode (stopping on breakpoints) IF the server is started in DEBUG *and* you right-click and select “Debug As”

    thanks,

  7. hI Ram,

    Hello Ram, I am a motion designer and Animate consultant. I found your article on interactivity with Animate VR360 very interesting.

    https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2019/06/27/creating-vr-360-content-with-animate-2019.html#gs.yrienm

    I am currently in the process of starting a virtual tour project for which I am thinking of using Animate.

    Unfortunately in this article, the link to the .fla source of part 3 (interactivity) no longer works, would it be possible to get a valid link? It would allow me to see how you developed your visit and start off on a good basis.

    Thank’s a lot.

    Best regard. Sebastien Isaia (France)

  8. Your writing is very clear and I hope to learn a lot. When I really want to do is to use PyCharm remote debugging for a fairly complicated VirtualBox container. However, I’ve had a hard time finding a tutorial for exactly that using the versions of things available today, But I’m hoping that running in Docker is not all that much different that running in Virtual Box and that I will be able to use you debugging techniques with PyCharm.

  9. Good Day Ram
    Sincere thanks for your work on the mobile game.
    Ive had roughly the same kind of experience i wish to bring to market but would like to make it a bit more mainstream mobile,voxel low poly hybrid and a possible league system ala WCC GAME FRANCHISE.
    Thank you for reinvigorating my passion for experience development and not game development as most label it for what is a game cept a bottled up experience.
    Id love to give cricket fans what Brian Lara Cricket 96 gave to us as kids.
    A true Cricket sim with many little surprises.
    Blessings on your work my friend.

  10. Hi Ram,

    Amazing work, I’ve really enjoyed reading your blog.
    Just curious whether you have much experience working with 3d files (GLB) and whether you would do a tutorial?

    Thank you very much
    Kind regards
    Sam
