Baeldung Weekly Review 28
At the very beginning of 2014 I decided to track my reading habits and share the best stuff here, on Baeldung.
2014 has been quite the year, covering each week with a review. I’ve been doing a lot more reading to make sure I cover and curate stuff that has value and is actually worth reading.
Let me know in the comments if you’re finding my reviews interesting and useful.
Here we go…
1. Spring and Java
===== >> Casting In Java 8 (And Beyond?) [codefx]

All about Spring Data JPA and creating/generating queries.
>> The Java Garbage Collection Mini-Book [infoq]
You know how every few months, there’s another good article on Garbage Collection in Java? This 100 page mini-book might mean you can skip all of them.
