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
A new installment continuing to explore audit functionality with Spring Data JPA – good stuff.
I'm actually gearing up for a similar audit implementation now and will be using these articles as a reference point.
An intro to what Akka brings to the table.
Testing these kinds of flows in your system – such as DB evolution and migration – is quite important if you're not actively looking for trouble.
A very interesting match between Ratpack and Boot, to address some of the common problems when building microservices.
Cleanly working with properties is a sign of project maturity. One of many, sure, and maybe a pet peeve of mine, but certainly useful in practice.
This is how Spring Boot makes all of that easier.

2. Technical

A good introduction to Event Sourcing with the goal of “finding the wisdom behind the buzzwords“. Solid read.
Also worth reading:
3. Musings
A quick writeup about the spectrum between pure guessing and careful estimation.
Starting out? Read it. In your third decade of building software? Read it.
Also worth reading:

And my favorite Dilberts of the week:
