At the very beginning of 2014, I decided to track my reading habits and share the best stuff here, on Baeldung. Haven't missed a week since.
Here we go…
1. Spring and Java
Yet another cool exploration of what “might be” in Java – this time with a focus on the ol' “synchronized”.
A quick and cool list of conferences in Europe, well represented in the Spring ecosystem. Good stuff, especially now since I'm working on a couple new talks.
Very cool exploration of the nuances of findFirst and findAny withing the Java Streams API.
The Hibernate testing effort is moving forward with this addition of a JPA focused test case that reproduces the issue without being Hibernate specific. That's certainly the right approach whenever possible.

3. Musings
The old adage “you need to love what you to” is certainly seeing some strong counter-examples on the web.
A good way I heard this re-framed is – you need to love helping people, serving your audience, or really, love the game in general. I like that shift of focus – it opens up a lot more options.
A surprising, new type of spam via PayPal – have a quick read even only to be aware of the problem (if you have a PayPal account).
Focus is so very important, as more and more – “time is the asset” (Gary V).
These are some basic but solid tips to get you into that state of flow and help you keep it.
Some interesting, personal notes on testing and why you can't afford not to invest into it.
This looks like it could fit into a few interesting usecases – very cool to see so much innovation coming out of AWS.
