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
We're continuing the deep-dive into Jigsaw here, with a lot more practical details.
Cool and useful insights into the performance of various toString implementations – generated with various libraries by the IDE. Who knew?
The low level memory implications of String.substring over the history of Java.
Some very cool Mockito goodness.
On the tail of the Eclipse Mars release last week, the new Spring-specific version of Eclipse – STS – is out. Here are the New and Noteworthy.
And – are you're using Eclipse Mars on Linux? I am and I've been seeing some weird visual artifacts – this is probably why.
