Java Web Weekly, Issue 119
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
The Spring Initializr is getting a lot of love lately, and here’s a quick sampling as to why that is.
>> Kotlin’s killer features [codecentric.de]
A quick and interesting look at the new kind on the JVM block.
>> Persistence Expert Roundup: What’s coming in 2016 [thoughts-on-java.org]
Some cool insights and a look at what’s coming in the Java persistence ecosystem.
>> Event Driven Microservices with Spring Cloud Stream [codecentric.de]
This is a great writeup on approaching the microservice problem in an intelligent way.
I am doing quite a bit of work recently with Event Sourcing and this piece fits right into that story – so definitely a good read.
>> Swagger for Akka HTTP [codecentric.de]
A weird combination here, but now that I think about it, it certainly makes sense using Swagger to document the API of a product like Akka HTTP.
>> Spring MVC: Trgger manual validation of a form object [codeleak.pl]
Really short and really practice tips on manually triggering validation in Spring.

2. Technical

This is a quick read and a hard-earned lesson – definitely click this one.
>> Obtaining Login Tokens for an Outlook, Office or Azure Account [whitton.io]
I always thoroughly enjoy reading through these kinds of in-depth attacks.
I think it’s good practice to know what’s out there and how it’s getting compromised, when I’m doing my own security implementations.
This one definitely looks like a promising read, so it’s at the top of my weekend reading list.

===== >> The Cost of Being Right [daedtech.com]
A Gary V likes to say – 99% of things don’t matter. Most things you think matter, don’t actually matter.
That still makes me cringe a bit when I think of my own need to be “right” in the first few years of my career.
>> Being shallow is rational [lemire.me]
A high level look at the way most things are changing faster now that they’ve ever been before – and how we need to stop being romantic about the way we learn if we want to adapt.
