I just released the Starter Class of "Learn Spring Security":
A bit of a quicker one this week, as I’m writing it in between Spring IO sessions.
Here we go…
1. Spring and Java
>> Thymeleaf 3 – Get Started Quickly with Thymeleaf 3 and Spring MVC [codeleak.pl]
A quick and to the point intro to using Thymeleaf with Spring, hopefully getting the industry one step closer to never touching a JSP file ever again.
>> How to Split JUnit Tests in a Continuous Integration Environment [semaphoreci.com]
A solid, thorough writeup focused on intelligently separating the way different tests run in a CI pipeline. Very useful stuff.
>> 13 Decks Java Developers Must See to Stay Updated [takipi.com]
Some very interesting slide-decks worth going over. Not only for the subject matter, but also to see what the cadence of a good talk looks like.

2. Technical
>> Cleanup Temp Files [techblog.bozho.net]
This is a quick writeup that I was thinking would make the “Also word reading” section below.
But, temporary files and applications that just keep growing and growing is such a common and overlooked problem that I think it’s really worth thinking about if you’re writing that kind of app.
Also worth reading:

>> X1 Instances for EC2 – Ready for Your Memory-Intensive Workloads [aws.amazon.com]
3. Musings
>> Dirty Hacks Are OK [techblog.bozho.net]
“I know this is not the best advice I’ve given” – that cracked me up.
But, in all seriousness, once you know the rules, yes, sometimes it’s definitely OK to break them.
>> CodeFX Leveled Up [codefx.org]
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this piece, from so many points of view.
First, it’s a clear, ambitious plan that I’m sure Nicolai is going to execute on well.
But more importantly – it represents forward movement in a space where so many people sit still for years and years – blogging. It’s quite easy to find yourself settle in a rhythm and doing the things that you’ve always been doing.
Shake things up!
>> The Gravitational Force of Wage Labor [daedtech.com]
An interesting read on the dynamics of longer term consulting engagements.
>> DDD Is Expensive Is A Myth [sapiensworks.com]
Like all the other DDs, Domain Driven Design may look like it’s more work at the beginning, but overall, the level of clarity that it brings into a system dwarfs the time it takes to understand and implement.
>> Simple Asynchronous Microservices using Lambda Architecture [vanillajava.blogspot.com]
A good first step towards understanding the Lambda architecture.
>> Lessons learned from delivering a test automation workshop [ontestautomation.com]
I’m doing more workshops this year, so I enjoyed going through this one. Have a look if you’re interested in either side of the workshop experience.
