In the past 20 years I’ve been able to work with many developers. Together we’ve worked on very large to the tiniest of projects, from huge corporate applications to simple web forms that deliver enormous business value. From beautiful new ‘greenfield’ applications to software written long before I was born.

Concurrent software is hard to get right, as we’ve seen in the previous article, “When flows split”. Concurrency is even harder to express. Most concurrent code is being written in a way that makes our heads spin every time we need to read it. Let us see how Kotlin helps us write concurrent code that is clearer and more efficient from the start.

A computer program is a nicely ordered flow of instructions, executed one after the other from start to finish… Except when it is not. We often wish to split this flow. Let’s see why and when to do it.

Spring Boot has been around for some time and still seems to be the most popular framework when it comes to building modern web applications. Similarly about Kotlin language. It’s not as old as Spring framework but it’s been highly accepted and used by many developers. To me, it’s no surprise that people behind Spring (Pivotal) put the Kotlin language almost at the same level as Java when it comes to integration into the framework itself.

When working on microservices in the Java ecosystem, especially using Spring (Boot), you will notice the long start-up time that applications will have, let alone the high memory consumption they will have. The overhead of each single microservice will eventually take its costs on the system. Looking at a framework such as Micronaut could help out to reduce this overhead without loosing any developer’s productivity. Not only “classic” applications can be built using Micronaut, but also serverless applications, functions, can be built and deployed on a cloud environment or on Kubernetes using OpenFaaS. Let’s dive into it!

This article will cover a deep learning introduction and create a ML model that will be able to classify Star Wars aircrafts in just a few lines of code using Java Specification Request #JSR-381 (“JSR-381”).

We started OpenValue almost 2 years ago. One of the key values of our company is sharing knowledge. Next to fun and craftsmanship. This all comes together with our activities in the international Java community. I’ll explain why.
