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
Caching read-only entities is definitely a good idea – here's a detailed breakdown of how to do it in Hibernate.
Identifying errors quickly is the hallmark of a mature, well thought-out system – and these are some useful techniques you can make use of to get there.
A detailed and quite interesting look into what the Java 9 modularization work may mean for us in terms of compatibility.
The next version of Eclipse is not far away, and it's cool to see that the IDE hasn't been standing still.
Some advanced concurrency goodness in this installment of the JavaSpecialists newsletter.

2. Technical and Musings
Some meetings are actually a good way to use your time – and I definitely agree that technically focused design meetings can catch things early, stop developers from moving in the wrong direction and generally improve the health of your system.
Practical, actionable advice? Not really – but well worth a read.
