Episode 32. Java 6 is sooooo Last Year. A guide on the features and how-to migrate to Java 7 —-
Shout out to the Chicago Java User’s Group! Glad to be part of the Board!

With the establishment of Java 7 as the de-facto JRE of Oracle, the clock is ticking down for Java 6! It will be End-Of-Life around February 2013, so we better get going and upgrade! In this episode we cover how to migrate to Java 7, and cover some of the most notable Java 7 features (Networking nuts, your prayers have been answered!) while preparing a path to upgrade. If you have a Java 6 (or 5 or 4) project, this is mandatory listening!

Episode 31. Know your bounds! Generic bounds that is (a story that extends super!)

Big shout-out to everyone I met at JavaOne (including some avid podcast listeners!). Thanks for listening and for a great time down at JavaOne! Don’t worry, we will be sharing all the stuff I learned on new episodes of the podcast.

It is also our Birthday (We have been airing episodes for a year!)! Happy to celebrate with everyone a year of the podcast (and if you want to celebrate it, treat me a beer! 🙂 ).

With this episode we wrap the concept of generics and bounds (super / extends) and talk about type erasure (and compiler warnings that goes ‘Hm, dunno what you’re doing but I can’t make sure it’s right’

And, that…is that!
