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
The Spring Initializr is getting a lot of love lately, and here's a quick sampling as to why that is.
A quick and interesting look at the new kind on the JVM block.
Some cool insights and a look at what's coming in the Java persistence ecosystem.
This is a great writeup on approaching the microservice problem in an intelligent way.
I am doing quite a bit of work recently with Event Sourcing and this piece fits right into that story – so definitely a good read.
A weird combination here, but now that I think about it, it certainly makes sense using Swagger to document the API of a product like Akka HTTP.
>> Spring MVC: Trgger manual validation of a form object [codeleak.pl]
Really short and really practice tips on manually triggering validation in Spring.

2. Technical
This is a quick read and a hard-earned lesson – definitely click this one.
I always thoroughly enjoy reading through these kinds of in-depth attacks.
I think it's good practice to know what's out there and how it's getting compromised, when I'm doing my own security implementations.
This one definitely looks like a promising read, so it's at the top of my weekend reading list.

3. Musings
A Gary V likes to say – 99% of things don't matter. Most things you think matter, don't actually matter.
That still makes me cringe a bit when I think of my own need to be “right” in the first few years of my career.
A high level look at the way most things are changing faster now that they've ever been before – and how we need to stop being romantic about the way we learn if we want to adapt.

4. Comics
And my favorite Dilberts of the week:
5. Pick of the Week
Continuing on the same general idea as last week's pick:
res – REST with Spring (eBook) (everywhere)
