This is our yearly pilmigrade to JavaOne, where we get to meet good old friends, create new memories, and best of all, geek out for an entire week on Java! We got to learn about the big things waiting for Java (the Internet of Things), and got to talk about how people are making a difference in Java (With the adopt-a-jsr program). We got to talk to great people like Peter Pilgrim(@peter_pilgrim), Marcel Offermans (@m4rr5), Heather VanCura (@jcp_org), Bruno Souza (@brjavaman), Mattias Karlsson (@matkar) and Geert Bevin (@gbevin). In all, is a great podcast to get a feel of what has been happening at J1! (Oh, and you gotta follow them!) Follow us! @fguime , and @bobpaulin Help us pay for bandwidth! (Or a beer!)

So it's all the rage, and things have been getting smaller and slimmer (think your first cell phone compared to today's), well, code is no different! Today we cover a trend on what is considered one of the better ways to scale, yet like everything else there are caveats. Bob is actually going to take us for a spin on creating our own MicroService by using Spring Boot! Follow us! @fguime , and @bobpaulin Help us pay for bandwidth! (Or a beer!)

So now we deep dive into what the "Real" advantages of Java 8 are :). The lambdas were just a head-fake (to quote Randy Pausch), the real meat is all the support that was brought because of lambdas, most importantly Streams. Streams are now pervasive in Java 8, and thanks to the way it was implemented is mostly backwards compatible! Oh boy, take a listen to start really tapping into the power of Lambdas and Java 8!

Lambdas... You have heard about it, it's like those celebrities that are everywhere (Tom Selleck). Well, is time to go and actually meet the great start. In this episode, me (Freddy) and Bob go deep into Lambdas, what they really are (are they magical?) and why would you want to use them. So Join in and let's listen to the most awaited feature of Java 8! (And yes, the title is a reference to the "Revenge of the Nerds", how appropiate isn't it :) |

And we are ramping up again! This is an exciting time to be developing in Java. With the advent of Java 8, lambdas, streams, Jigzaw and the Internet of Things, we are coming back big! In this episode we introduce our co-host Bob Paulin, and offer a glimpse of Java 8, Jigsaw, Streams, and OSGI Standard. Follow And @Bobpaulin
Ah, beer, it's April, and we just finished taxes ($!)

Episode 40. Don't you hate when static gives you an unexpected jolt? (Discussion on static methods,classes, and inner classes)
So you have programmed for a while, and may even never realized that you have been using them, but there are static methods (which in turn can create static classes), inner classes and static inner classes. Sometimes is hard to understand why or when to use these, but never fear! After listening to this episode you will never get an unexpected static surprise!

Oh My Gosh, is that Arun Gupta, Bruno Souza, Danno Ferrin, Hanz Dockter, Charles Nutter and Yoav Landman? Session Previews (and reviews) from JavaOne
So, here's the deal, I went down from Chicago to JavaOne 2013, and took Bob Paulin along. There are sooo many sessions and such great content that it was really hard to know when to start. So we decided to do something cool! We set-up shop in the heart of JavaOne and grab unsuspecting speakers and ask them to spare a couple of minutes to tell us about their sessions (all awesomeness!). And the good news is that Oracle will make all of the presentations referred in this talk (and much more) available for everyone! Take a listen and prepare to be amazed by the awesome presenters of JavaOne. - Arun Gupta (@arungupta) - Bruno Souza (@brjavaman) - Danno Ferrin (@shemnon) - Hanz Dockter (@gradleware) - Charles Nutter (@headius) - Yoav Landman (@yoavlandman) |

It happens all the time, you are working and suddenly you need to database an object. And maybe you have a fancy O/R Mapper or something like that, but we seldomly ask 'do we really need this in a relational format?'. There are actual alternatives (from byte serialization to xml, to, oh, my, NoSql databases). Here we explore the reasons why you may want to skip the Object Relational mapping and concentrate more on ease of development! Follow
Hey it's Freaking HOT outside! beer...beer...beeeeeer.....:)

So we hear about HyperThreading and how it is sooo cool, well, it is and it isn't. If you are really trying to squeeze performance out of your application HyperThreading might not be what you're looking for. There are so many other things that happens at the CPU level that have so weird names (like Thread Thrashing, 'say whaaaat?'). If you are really serious on squeezing every worthy CPU cycle of your app (or if you're interesting on what really really goes under the hood) take a listen! (ah! and treat me a beer, if you like what you hear!) Follow
Hey it's ALMOST SUMMER! and I would love to get a beer :)

Have you ever wonder how bit masking work (or what is that?) and why do you need it? Or why a tree structure exists? (or what is breadth first vs depth first), or what are game trees? We put our Computer Science hat and go "depth first" in some fundamental compsci concepts, and, more importantly their utility, ending with Game trees (and they are not only used for games)! Follow
Hey it's SPRING! and I would love to get a beer :)
