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
I'm upgrading today. Literally. Nuff said.
On top of the earlier 4.2 GA, here's what the next steps in the Spring ecosystem look like.
A solid deep dive into Jigsaw and the upcoming Java 9.
Also worth reading:
Webinars and presentations:
Time to upgrade:
2. Technical
A long but worthwhile read about a few things the Unix architecture can teach us.
This piece makes a good point – using an event just for the sake of decoupling can, in a lot of cases – do more hard than good.
That being said, events are certainly a powerful abstraction and, if the choice to use them is well founded and justified, can lead to an elegant implementation.
Interesting data tracking the speed of all EC2 regions this year compared to last year.
Some good take-aways about what's good about a microservice architecture. And that's not the hype.

3. Musings
“Learning when the pressure is off” removes a lot of the roadblocks people have when trying to pick up a new skill.
And learning “product” – yeah, I wish I started to wise up and get started a decade ago.
An enthralling and insightful read on protocols and protocol design.
A sentence that was said by no one ever.

4. Comics
And my favorite Dilberts of the week:
5. Pick of the Week
Earlier this year I introduced the “Pick of the Week” section here in my “Weekly Review”. If you’re already on my email list – you got the pick already – hope you enjoyed it.
If not – you can share the review and unlock it right here:
