Episode 72. A very deep dive on Var, and unmodifiable collections with Stuart Marks (@stuartmarks) himself!

April 29, 2018 Freddy Guime Guest, JDK10 01:03:14

We went to one of the best sources to learn what’s happening with Var and Java 10, @stuartmarks! Also, what has been (and is being deprecated) on Java 10, and 11. And little inside perspective of having a new java version every six months!

Included is a the “convConvenience Factory Methods for Collections” List.of, Set.of, Map.of that @stuartmarks did for Java 9! (and his new contributions for Java 10). And a interesting trick of the non-deterministic order of unmodifiable sets! (A Stuart Marks special!)

So come and listen to this episode which contains great tips and tricks directly from one of the contributors to the Java Programming Language API!

So we finally wrapped Jigsaw in this episode (the most prominent feature for Java 9 (and included a small errata from @stuartmarks). But Java is moving at a breakneck speed, and Java 10 was just released a couple of days ago! We couldn’t resist covering some of the new and interesting features of the language. So come take a listen to finish up with Jigsaw, and learn what’s new for Java 10.

Episode 70. Let’s put puzzles together. Using Java 9’s Jigsaw!

February 12, 2018 Freddy Guime JDK9 00:49:24

Episode 70. Let’s put puzzles together. Using Java 9’s Jigsaw!

It was both the most anticipated and (one of the) most controversial features in Java 9. What’s the bruhaha all about? What is Jigsaw (or the Java Platform Module System)? What does it bring? Can I use it? And if so, why would I use it? All these questions are answered as we dive into the history of JSR-376 (it has been years in the making). And since Jigsaw is so big, there might be a two-parter for us! So stay tuned!

Episode 69. All I want for Xmas is a million requests per second (Jmeter!)

December 20, 2017 Freddy Guime Frameworks, Testing 00:50:48

Come and let’s dive into how to use JMeter for those stress and performance testing that needs to get done (you’re doing stress tests right?)

Episode 68. Clouding it up with Microsoft Service Fabric

October 22, 2017 Freddy Guime Cloud, Microsoft 1:08:30

Clouds are everywhere and are puffy! In this Sponsored Episode, we dive into one of the main prominent cloud providers out there (Microsoft), who is outreaching to us Java Developers! (gasp!). In this episode, the Microsoft Service Fabric team (with @mani_ramaswamy, @HuruliS and Raunak Pandya) takes us in a soup-to-nuts tour on how to get started with Azure’s service cloud, including what makes it different from others. Bob and I dive and explore how well would this work for us Java folk (and the answer is “very well”) taking questions from how to build and deploy cloud, to what native support is there is for us Java Folk .

Episode 67. Recording from JavaOne!

October 8, 2017 Freddy Guime Conference 01:29:17

We sneaked in! Bob and I managed to get into JavaOne (sshhhh….) and made drive-by interviews with some of the luminaries and notable atendees at JavaOne, from Dr. Deprecator @stuartmarks to @reza_rahnman, @edburns, @prpatel, @saturnism, @javaclimber and @shelajev. All in snippets of 10 minute awesomeness talking from deprecation, collections, Eclipse Enterprise for Java, Containerization, and getting Kids involed, it’s a great melting pot of topics and opinions!

Episode 66. Ok, how about consuming Rest services

August 16, 2017 Freddy Guime Apache, Microservices, Spring 00:49:36

So we talked about how to create a rest service (using things like Apache CXF and Spring MVC), but sometimes, we actually need to consume these rest services. Luckily within the Java ecosystem there is a lot of way to skin that cat, and in today’s episode we at least cover 4 ways of doing so (including my favorite of the day, Feign). Come take a listen as we dive into Appache HttpComponents, Apache CXF with JaxRS, Spring RestTemplate and Netflix Feign on this fully-loaded episode.

Episode 65. Oh my gosh, we missed CACHING! (what a cache miss!)

July 6, 2017 Freddy Guime Apache, Performance 00:55:55

What a strange omission, of all the concepts, one that all of us should always have is Caching. We have used it (and most likely we have been burned by it). Come and take a listen on how to correctly (or at least not as incorrectly) think about caching, finding out your “game plan”, and using JSR-107, or Hazelcast, or Apache Ignite or Spring. LRU? Time-based? How much memory? Long distribution tails? cacheable keys? All concepts that you should ask before creating/using a cache!

Episode 64. Oh it’s time to re-boot Spring in Spring!

April 12, 2017 Freddy Guime Spring 00:45:55

You heard about it, and you are probably using it already. It is the Spring framework that took over the Web (Spring Boot!). But what makes it so special? and what lurks under the covers? How did it became a thing and what is it really trying to accomplish? Come take a listen with our own Pivotal insider, Michael Minella! (@michaelminella)

Episode 63. JCR (Java Content Repository) It as a Document Database before Document Databases were cool!

February 16, 2017 Freddy Guime Frameworks 0:50:42

The Java Content Repository (JSR-170 and JSR-283) have been around for a while. For those who don’t know it’s an actual way of managing content (or assets, or text, or images, or a catalog). Its use can be almost anything, and yet, we didn’t know we had it! The best part? It’s a JSR so not just that there are different, compatible implementations, but the underlying storage can be changed in a jiffy. Want to store as files in the filesystem, done. How about a Database? also done. How about using something that the cool kids use like Mongo? It Got you covered man! (or Woman!)
