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
This is very cool if you're into Scala.
I'm personally moving towards Clojure instead of Scala, but this still looks quite interesting to me.
How to configure logging in Spring Boot (without having to go the native XML route) – very quick and to the point (much like Boot).
Thought last weeks JUnit 5 post was all there was? Think again 🙂
I'm super excited about finally seeing some actual progress in the JUnit space, so this series should be fun to read and follow along with.
As always, a very nice exploration of a lambdas in Java 8.
And I can no longer call lambdas “new”, they're now just an arrow in the quiver.
A quick writeup that continues to explore the mapping of parameters to Controllers in Java EE 8. Very quick and to the point.
Kotlin isn't something I've done any actual work with myself. But it is the official 1.0 release of what looks to be a language with some interesting syntax choices – which doesn't happen all that often.

And of course, SQL injection is not the only game in town.
