At the very beginning of last year, I decided to track my reading habits and share the best stuff here, on Baeldung. Haven't missed a review since.

Here we go…

1. Spring and Java

>> Reactive Programming with Spring 5.0 M1 [spring.io]

Reactive support has finally been merged and is included into this cut of the 5.x version of the framework.

If you've been holding off from exploring it before, now's a good time to get your feet wet.

>> Java on Steroids: 5 Super Useful JIT Optimization Techniques [takipi.com]

Interesting notes about what JVM compiler does to optimize the performance of our production code.

>> Java 8 Top Tips [jetbrains.com]

A good read with or without the IntelliJ tips. Of course if you're using IntelliJ, it's even better.

>> Oh No, I Forgot Stream::iterate! [codefx.org]

Quick and to the point – some nice APIs are coming along with Java 9.

>> The best way to map a @OneToOne relationship with JPA and Hibernate [vladmihalcea.com]

Hehe, the good ol' one-to-one relationship.

>> Oracle Paves the Way to Standardise Command Line Options in the JDK [infoq.com]

A quick positive news item slotted for Java 10, among all the negative news about Java EE lately.

Webinars and presentations:

2. Technical and Musings

>> DDD Decoded – Don't Fear Eventual Consistency [sapiensworks.com]

“The only people worried about Eventual Consistency are CRUD programmers”. Priceless.

I could keep quoting, but do yourself a favor and read this one, not only for the technical aspects, but also for the laughs.

>> I wanna go fast: HTTPS' massive speed advantage [troyhunt.com]

Quite some interesting data here, looking at the speed advantage of HTTP/2.

>> The Business-Personal Value Continuum [daedtech.com]

The writeup explores a tough topic to pin down – the way we approach our work and the balance between our natural need towards craftsmanship and actually putting out work into the world.

I personally strive to keep a healthy tension between the two and, as Sean says – ship when it's 90% perfect.

>> Logs for SEO [daedtech.com]

A fun read for anyone running any kind of site and dabbling in SEO.

>> 12 great months for Thoughts on Java and some big changes ahead [thoughts-on-java.org]

I always enjoy this kind of post. I think there's a lot here to unpack and reading through the thought process some else has about a tough life choice is quite helpful. Especially when it deals with such important decisions as – should I quit my job?

3. Comics

And my favorite Dilberts of the week:

>> Mordac, the preventer of information services [dilbert.com]

>> What do you do for a living? [dilbert.com]

>> This design would be inefficient [dilbert.com]

4. Pick of the Week

My talk from Spring I/O 2016 came out – if you're working on REST API and Hypermedia with Spring, let me know what you think:

>> Get HATEOAS and Hypermedia right with Spring [youtube.com]
