Allright, it is time to pull the curtain on all this AI stuff and really learn how it works! On this episode we dive deep into AI, and Neural Networks, refinenements, vector databases (and why we need them) so you can understand the underlying principles of AI and LLM! The field is so vast, intersting and more importantly it's going to be here to stay. So take a listen and keep learning on this new tool we should all be familiar with! http://www.javapubhouse.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to our cool NewsCast OffHeap! http://www.javaoffheap.com/  - https://ollama.com/library/llama3.1/blobs/f1cd752815fc  - https://onnx.ai/  - https://partee.io/2022/08/11/vector-embeddings/  - https://codelabs.milvus.io/vector-database-101-introduction-to-unstructured-data  - https://www.guru99.com/backpropogation-neural-network.html  - https://deeplearning4j.konduit.ai/  - https://spring.io/projects/spring-ai  - https://medium.com/data-science-at-microsoft/how-large-language-models-work-91c362f5b78f  - https://www.v7labs.com/blog/neural-network-architectures-guide Do you like the episodes?

So we continue to have guests in our show to talk to us about interesting things... This time is about Apache Tika. This is an incredible tool to do search file processing and metadata extraction. Think about that you have tons of unstructured files, like emails, or documents, and you want to extract, index and then search theses. This is Tika's purpose. And who best to walk us through how it does its magic that its Project Management Committee (PMC) Chair, Tim Allison!

We have a great time talking to Matt Topol from Voltron Data on one of his Apache Software Foundation projects called Apache Arrow. It's both a spec and implementation of a columnar data format that is not only efficient, but cross-language compatible. We walk through the scenarios that it covers and how is becoming more and more pivotal for things like ML and LLMs. So come listen to this JPH episode on one of the best and free ways to distribute data and integrate services working on top of that data! http://www.javapubhouse.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to our cool NewsCast OffHeap! http://www.javaoffheap.com/  - Apache Arrow Project (https://arrow.apache.org/)  - Java implementation (https://arrow.apache.org/docs/java/index.html)  - In-Memory Analytics with Apache Arrow (https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/in-memory-analytics-with/9781801071031/)  - Matt Topol X (Twitter!)

Ok, so it's an incredible time to be in the Java Ecosystem, and one of the biggest frameworks out there just dropped their three-point-oh version! That's right! So Spring Boot is not officially 3.0, and it has as a Baseline Java 17! (oohh!!). So we brought in the big guns to talk about what does it mean to Upgrade to Spring Boot 3, and what are the new cool toys we can expect from that upgrade!  In all, an amazing interview full of great things that are available NOW (so whatcha waiting for!

Whew! So we took a big break over summer (like Bob said, we were just swamped with work.. oof), but we are BACK! and like always we are ready to explore even deeper Java topics for the professional developer. This time we set our sights in Apache Kafka, one of the (if not THE) dominant distributed messaging framework / broker. If you have been integrating webservices, you might have been running into message brokers (and applying Enterprise Integration Patterns), well if so, you most likely have run into Kafka.  We dive into "What does Kafka Solve", into what it is (and isn't), and why you should use it (or not use it), and how it differs from traditionalling Messaging systems. In all, this is another episode of "Cloud stuff", and, like you know, that's where everything interesting is at!

Yeah! so we have been working with the cloud for a while, terms like K8s, EC2, Route53, BlobData, CLI has been swinged around... and is a little mysterious, and sometimes looks like a black box where you just click buttons, add things, type commands, until it finally something good happens. But if something bad happens, we tend not to have the slightest idea on why! Never fear, on this episode of PubHouse we start from the very beginning on describing (And dismantling) what the "Cloud" really is... Starting on how we got there, what are the different "components" of most clouds, and how to reason about them. This way, the next time something unpredictable happens, you will know exactly where to start troubleshooting and how to navigate this space! This is the first episode of a series (probably a series of 2) on Cloud technologies. So if you never been exposed to the cloud and you're curious, or even if you've been working on it but everything sounds mysterious, then dive in! http://www.javapubhouse.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to our cool NewsCast OffHeap! http://www.javaoffheap.com/ Intro to AWS  https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/aws-overview/introduction.html What is Elastic Load Balancing https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/userguide/what-is-load-balancing.html What is Amazon Route 53 https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/Welcome.html EC2 vs ECS vs Lambda https://www.cloudzero.com/blog/ecs-vs-ec2 Intro to Azure Fundamentals https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/intro-to-azure-fundamentals/ Azure Containter Registry https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/container-registry/#features Azure Compute https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/virtual-machines/#overview Do you like the episodes?

Ok, so is time to talk about something secretive! Like API Passwords, Auth tokens, or keys... these are things that we want to have as a Secret within our microservice. And yeah, adding them into your source code is a big no-no Here we cover the dos (and dont's) of secret management, what are the benefits and drawbacks of the different solutions and we explore some of our favorite open source (and Cloud tools) for keeping secrets. We answer some important questions on how to effectively store and manage these secrets (the short answer is don't try to do it yourself!), and end up with the list of best practices for it.

So is time to celebrate! We got a new box of toys with the new release of Java! This is also a Long-Term-Support release which means that's usually a "good one" to jump into! Switch Expressions! Helpful Nullpointers, Sealed Classes... there is a TON that's new And we got the best Doctor in town to walk us through all of them. We're of course talking about Stuart Marks! (AKA Dr. Deprecator).

So while Java is the "main" language of the JVM, it is by no means the "only" language. And one of the purely functional programming languages is getting a new facelift! Scala has been going through a revamp on the syntax and the features, and if you ever run into a scala user you know how passionate they are about their language! (hint: they love it!) So while we might be working in Java projects most of our time, it is a good time to revisit that developer toolbox and learn when and where to use it. And if anything else, having a dip into a fully functional programming language teaches any budding developer how to see things differently! So maybe Scala is "not" the language you want to program all your new projects, but understanding its strengs, its thinking (and with Scala 3) and its purpose, it makes it for a very sharp tool to have at the ready when you really need to tackle that Data Sciency / Functional Programming problem. In addition, we bring one of the biggest names in the Scala Community to walk us through it all @DeanWampler (https://twitter.com/deanwampler) has been working with Scala since the early days and has just published his new O'Reilly book Programming Scala (https://deanwampler.github.io/books/programmingscala.html).

You'll run it everywhere there's a production system. Some kind of Metrics collector like Statsd or InfluxDB. They work like magic, reporting on the health of your application. but how does it really happen? We dive in on how these Application Performance Management tools work and how do they really "see into" your application. We demistify all this magic, and actually describe how to add "new" metrics and how to publish it! If you ever worked in a production application, and were wondering how do these metrics get graphed and collected, well, wonder-no-more!

So we had a previous episode where we show a party trick with GraalVM, where we saw how to create a Native Image. It was really the "hello world" of Native image creation, so Bob decided that's not good enough! In this epidose we dive a little deeper on how to actually run your Restful Web service (or other app) natively, going through the exercise of debugging GraalVM builds including adding Maven plugins, finding out how to quelch the different reflection errors and how to deal with resources (and those pesky JNI / so libs). In all, this is more of actually a practical use of GraalVM, not just a "it can do it", but more, how is it done.

So it happens. Sometimes a Java program just "dies" with the dreaded Out-of-memory Exception. Sometimes, it leaves behind a "heap dump", or a copy of what the Java program had in memory when just before it throw the Out-of-memory exception. For some devs, a heap dump is stressful, because they think is a black box with only mysteries, but we are here to calm your fears! In this episode we show how Heap dumps are your friends! If you happen to have one, then is almost assured that you can find what caused the out-of-memory, and/or you can "see" what the real values of configuration were. For troubleshooting a production incident, a heap dump becomes invaluable since "nothing" hides from it. Doesn't matter where the code came from, a heap dump will have exactly what each variable was holding and who might be responsible for a memory leak! "Memory leak you say? I thought java didn't have memory leaks!". Well, that's the other part of this episode where we discuss while Java has way less worries than (say c++) on allocating and deallocating memory, you can still create Memory leaks by having strong referenced objects that are never removed (and if that sounded like mumbo jumbo, even a better excuse to listen to this episode) So, we survived 2020. Take a listen to this end-of-the-year episode, and be even more ready for whatever 2021 throws at us! http://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to our cool NewsCast OffHeap! http://www.javaoffheap.com/   How to capture a Heap Dump https://www.baeldung.com/java-heap-dump-capture Eclipse Memory Analyzer https://www.eclipse.org/mat/ VisualVM https://visualvm.github.io/     Do you like the episodes?

We're back! and now we move to the new-fangled serialization and deserialization frameworks, starting with Protobufs! Google's contribution to the serialization space, Protobuf V3 makes it easy to create a very efficient on-the-wire serialized representation of objects, and then some. With the ability to have both backwards and forward compatible changes, protobufs is a great choice for transmitting information across services. But not to be outdone, @BobPaulin goes in and covers Thrift, which goes a step beyond than just serializing messages, but also takes care of the "Transport layer", adding the ability of doing Remote-procedure-calls! Imagine if instead of saying "I need to send a message to that service, and then the service can process it and send info back", you just said. "I want to call a method on that service with this parameters and get the results". Thrift exposes that functionality by letting you have an interface that you can just call in your client service, and it "magically" coordinates all the gnarly stuff to encode, transmit, execute, decode, and present your call. You don't even have to think (too deeply) about how it all happens. As long as you define your thrift objects, thrift methods, and Thrift transport, the framework will let you just think of methods to call! that's it! So in all, a very fun episode where we discover what the new types of serialization frameworks are up to.

Ah, Serialization... the bane of every Java Developer! If you are still using ObjectOutputStream, and Serializable, then you do want to listen to this episode! We move past the objectoutputstreams to what most people are running into these days! (Starting with 2001 and JaxB... and then moving forward from there to Json, and in Part 2...protobuf and thrift!). But oh, no all serialization is equal, and there are tradeoffs are we go through the different serialization / deserialization libraries (Convenience, Speed, Rigor? all these are things that one need to take into account when choosing a serialization strategy).

So just in case you didn't know, but being a Java developer is as fun as ever! The ecosystem has been changing from the past year, and today, we have "tons" of Java Developer Kits to choose from. Want to know what happened? And want to know how different they are? (or what do they bring to the table), then tune in! In this episode we cover the history of OpenJDK, and uncover the reason of why there are many JDKs out there. We dive in some of the licensing terms (hint. If you are using Oracle JDK 8, make sure you are getting security updates on with a support plan!). Then Bob dives into some very fun differences between OpenJDK, Azul, and OpenJ9... and the tool to "keep sane" with all these installations, SDKMan!

One of the first things that you learn to appreciate when you transition programming from hobby to a way of life is to find a good way to troubleshoot problems. Most of the time this means logging and monitoring, so for this episode we decided to interview Renaud Boutet who is DataDog's VP of Product Manager, and don't worry, he's really a developer that went to the "Management" (i.e. dark) side, so he knows what he's talking about! Diving into topics from Logging Frameworks, to MDC, to a discussion of the three pillars of observability (Metrics, Traces, and Logs), this episode have good advice for everyone.

It's that Streaming-new-deal that has been taken over the web world, Reactive! You've heard about it, and maybe even tried to learn it a couple of times but find it confusing? Well, be confused no more since on this episode Bob and I explore the basic foundations of Reactive (and explain what is that makes is so confusing to begin with) But that's not all. We also dive on why is such a "hot" technology and why is the recommended approach on new microservices, even so, we also explore its drawbacks and why we shouldn't rip everything apart to make "reactive" things. Lastly we start exploring one of the "reactive" frameworks with Spring WebFlux, and explore how to "think" about Reactive (and came with the marble track analogy). In all, this episode will shed light on a topic that has been hard to understand, but on which, if done correctly can bring a very large performance gain! FOLLOW US JavaPubHouse on twitter!

Oh my! This episode is going to be one of our favorites. There are times where the Java ecosystem delivers something incredibly interesting (InvokeDynamic, Lambdas, Streams, Kotlin), and this episode is one of those! You may have heard it mentioned around the interwebs or conferences (this new GraalVM thing)... well, it's here to stay and is propelling JVM languages to a whole new level of interoperatibility and performance! So GraalVM at the very high-level view is a "Java Virtual Machine" (in reality there's much more to it, but we can at least start there). It provides tons of interesting features, like the ability to not only compile Java/JVM languages, but also Javascript, LLVM Languages (like C++), Python, R (and is expanding to others), and more importantly, interoperatibility between all these languages. But the bee's knees (or the most interesting fact) is that GraalVM also have the "Native Image", which allows you to completely bake in a Linux (more platforms coming) binary straight up from your source code. The Native Image doesn't require Java to be installed, and you can start your application as you would any other Linux executable. The most impressive part? Startup times are incredibly fast! So we have usually addressed tons of misinformed myths of the Java language like "It's slow:" (No, not really), or "You can code more performant code in C++" (possibly, but you have to be an expert to squeeze more performance than the JVM's JIT compiler). But one area that the claim has held true is that "Java has slow startup times". And (it used to be) true! Because of the dynamic classloading that Java supports, it's very hard for the JVM to startup fast. For long running applications this is usually not a problem, even so, for the new Cloud folks (and Lambdas, and AutoScaling Groups), fast startup time is a "thing". And so, with GraalVM (with some caveats) we are conquering one of the last arguments against the JVM languages. In all, THIS is the episode to listen this year. It's exciting, new technology that we could really spin up and use. Let's have fun programming again with GraalVM. FOLLOW US JavaPubHouse on twitter!

There are technologies that sometimes are forgotten in a lonely corner, but that actually are quite sturdy. One of these is the All-Powerful Java Management Extensions (also known as JMX). With JMX you can actually expose a lot of metrics of your application and TONS of libraries use it "out of the box". Libraries like Tomcat, JVM, ActiveMQ, Spring (and ton others) exposes their metrics through JMX. And you can too! In this episode we go over how to both consume JMX metrics (through JConsole, or statsD, or other Performance Monitoring Tools), and how to produce them as well (By creating your own MBeans), not only that, but we also go with how to be able to "invoke" these on a live application. Have you ever wanted to say "Oh my, I wish I could call this method while the program is running in production 'At will'". Well, with MBeans, you can make that happen! Not only that, but if you really want to you can also expose your MBeans through a Rest Endpoint with Jolokia. FOLLOW US JavaPubHouse on twitter!

So you get that project that needs to connect to a server that doesn't talk rest, or http(s), but has its own protocol (or maybe it DOES talk https but you are looking for incredible performance!). Well, look no further than Netty! Sure, sure, you could really spend time working with NIO.2 and creating your own sockets and all that jazz, but why? The Netty.io folks already did it, and by golly they created a library that's "blazingly fast". So take a dive into this episode where we talk about the main netty concepts (like pipelines and handlers), and give you a tip or two as you embark down into protocol performance bliss. Netty has seen it all, and has been battle tested for a while now (Have you heard of Jetty? well, that has Netty under the hood), and best of all, we go over how to be "lazy" about it! Netty really implemented a lot of protocols, events, and stuff already (for example LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder, ProtobufVarInt32FrameDecoder, SslHandler, WebSocket00FrameDecoder and much more!), so you don't have to be the wiser and implement things from scratch... chances are... Netty already has them (or at least will have the right tools to create your own thing). FOLLOW US JavaPubHouse on twitter! Where we will be sharing new tech news, and tutorials!

You got your new project, it's a brand new service, and is ready to go! But... have you done a health check endpoint for your app? In this day and age of microservices with auto-remediation and auto-scaling, having a well-behaved, functioning health-check is very important since it dictates when to evict, scale up (or down) your service. And the great news is, that for the "bigger" frameworks (like Spring or Microprofile) the work is almost done for us! With Spring Boot Actuator and Microprofile, we have tons of support and annotations, and built-in healthchecks for the main "things", like database connectivity, Message Queue connectivity, even Email settings!.

So the internet is all raging about this (not so little) framework that is doing it all. Created with a "cloud-first" mentality, @Micronautfw is aiming to be your next Spring Boot! And, oh gosh, how easy they are making it. We dive into what makes Micronaut such a darling of the internet right now (not using reflection, GraalVM ready, better memory consumption) and see how much "stuff" is in there (the TLDR; A Lot). We go from creating a microservice, to looking at the different already-implemented features like circuit breakers, properties/profiles, beans, support for lambdas, micrometer, reactive programming, and all. While it might not have "everything" that Spring does, the reality is that it's pretty solid. Would you consider Micronaut for your next project? The answer is maybe (and for some cases, maybe Yes).

Ah, Project Lombok is one of those little gems in the Java Ecosystem. But it's interestingly controversial! Some will love it (as I do), others will hate it! But no matter which camp you land on, you should at least know about it! Project Lombok allows you to, quite easily create your equals/hashcode method, or create a builder pattern for your class, or even generate your getters/setters. All while just adding a simple annotation to your class. How does it do it? (hint. It's preprocessing bytecode magic) But holy cow, when used responsibly, Lombok allows you to write so little code for a ton of cases.

So for our new episode we decided to give YOU a holiday gift! Apache Commons! We covered one of the libraries that is ubiquotous in anyone who programs Java, but that not many know how robust and complete it is! Do you have to do things like averages, min, max? Or do you have to read CSV files? What about measuring pieces of code with currentTimeMillis? or creating deep copy of Bean objects? Well, these and much more are already supported in the slew of Apache Commons project (and subprojects!). They usually have no transitive dependencies either so they are "ready" for the taking. And because Apache Commons is already used in many open source libraries, chances are that is already in your own project! Making it an easy thing to just start using it.

So you may have thought about using NoSQL or a Document Database for taking care of you needs. But do you know why that might be not be a good (or a pretty bad idea?). Or you may have a Database that have been running fine, but it seems that you can't work with it anymore? (Is it time to move to NoSql? Would it help?). We dive into the "Why" would you choose Databases vs NoSQL Data Stores, or when to ditch your MongoDB and actually come back to MySQL.

If you stepped into the Java EE world, you must have run into Spring. There is Spring XD, Spring Batch, Spring everything-under-the-sun. Sometimes we keep using it as a rut, but today we take a look at Spring (and Spring Core) with a new set of eyes and learn the real reason for Spring Beans. A great introduction if you never been exposed to Spring, and a even better reminder of why Spring Beans exists in the first place!

You worked with them "all the time", whenever you know it or not! Classloaders are the little workers that make sure all the code is there and ready to be executed. Bob revisits this topics and goes into more detail on how the ClassLoading hierarchy works, when to watch out, and how different frameworks (OSGI, and Java EE containers) may be configured to load classes.

We know how important it is to mind your p's and q's when it comes to garbage (and garbage collection). We go deep into how Generational Garbage Collectors work including reference types (strong, weak, soft, phantom), also how Garbage Collection Pressure (GC Pressure) happens, and how can we create code that is friendly to Generational GCs.

So we are covering what has been in the works for Java EE 8 (JSR-366). This Spec serves as an umbrella for other specs (features) of Java EE. Some of it is very new, and some of it is already available for all of us to use. Come join me and Bob as we discuss the different things that are going to come down the pike. If you work on the EE space, you gotta listen to keep current! And if you are a J2SE guy like myself, there is still a lot that we can reuse from the JavaEE tools! Follow Me on Twitter!

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).

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, 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 Me on Twitter!

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?').

You remember recursion right? that ugly, confusing thing they made you do either on CS-300, or at job interviews. Have you ever wondered how to make it safe and right? and why do we really use recursion? In this episode we go into proper recursion programming (and lose the fear of making it wrong), and understand why stacks get filled with it, and what problems do they really solve (answer, not many). In addition we talk about the nature of Double objects, vs double the primitive (And why it is so hard to do == comparisons in doubles), plus some little known things about Strings (like interning).

Episode 34. New Year's (2013) Resolution! Less bugs and more coverage! ---- Ok, so we all celebrated (but may not remember) the end of the old year and the beginning of a new year! This is a time for starting new things, and trying to be a little better. How about starting by looking at our code and squish some bugs! By using findbugs we can easily test for the 'duh' (and some not so duh) bugs quickly by looking and automatically analyzing our code. After adding Findbugs, we can then add Emma, which will look and measure our unit test code coverage (if you are into such a thing). These two tools are like the Richard Simmons that let us lose the unwanted bug weight in this new year! If you just joined us, remember to follow me on Twitter!

Episode 33. Does code dream when it hibernates? A quick look on the big things of Hibernate ---- Databases have been around forever! (or at least from the 1970s) and there are many things that try to hook Object Objected Programming with Relational Databases (namely, O/R mappers). Hibernate is the most known O/R mapper and, while effective sometimes it can be confusing.

Episode 30. I always thought Generics were as good as brand name Erasers (Java Generics part 1) ---- Hi there! Finally back on a (hopefully) standard schedule. I have been moving a house with three kids, two cats, one wife, one dog, and one grandma (they are heavy!, just kidding!) and just found the box with the podcast equipment! we hit the ground running with Generics. What are the benefits (and potential pitfalls) of Generics? Why do we even need them at all? The syntax looks pretty confusing, but with some Jedi Mind tricks one can actually start seeing how they work. If you use Generics (Almost everyone does :)) you should take a listen!

We go and visit the Primordial Java Concepts. As rules set in stone we explore the concept of multiple inheritance, method and variable scope (including the final keyword), abstract methods and @override. This is good for those starting up their Mad Java SkillZ (We're L33T, u K|\|0w?), or for those who were always curious why the language is this way.

Episode 28. Extra! Extra! JMS Delivering Messages to your App! Extra! Extra! ---- Java Message Service (or JMS for short) is a collection of APIs and implementations that allows you to send "messages" across your applcation. But why is it so popular?, and what exactly is it trying to solve (what is a message anyways)? In this episode, we take our bycicle, and trace the delivery route of JMS to figure out the good, and avoid some JMS potholes along the way, making for a smooth message delivery experience!

Episode 27. There's a Log File in the folder in the middle of the App ---- (Sing to the children's song There's a hole in the middle of the sea)Logging is part of everyday production debugging life. If you ever had to troubleshoot a production application, the you most likely have looked at log files. These log files can either be a salvation, or an inmense source of frustration. In this podcast we delve into the different logging frameworks, and more importantly, what to log and not to log (and how to log it). |~|P |~|P |~|P |~|P |~|P |~|P |~|P Beer!

As developers, we have to deal with Exceptions every day (or at least every other day). In this episode we dive a bit on exception (and exception handling), plus we talk about certain behaviors that are not so well-understood (try returning from a finally block, or why exception stack traces sometimes misteriously disappears). A good review for those who already know, and a great primer for those diving into Exceptions, this episode is sure to show some surprises!

Episode 25. Reflection and vampire classes, and compiling Java from within Java. We have heard the word "Reflection" thrown around, what does it mean? it is a new Twilight series? is it about Vampires? In all, we shed sunlight into what reflection is (and more importantly why in the world you want to use it). And also cover a technique to compile and load programs within your program. Javascript guys had access to this by doing eval("your program here"), and while Java doesn't have an eval function, there are ways of achieving similar results (and very specific reasons to do this crazy technique. Mostly performance)   It's SUMMER!

Designers will come to you, and say "Hm, I think your program is not as user-friendly". And sometimes, when you ask them to elaborate, they seem to follow a hidden and cryptic ritual. They are right, yet, is hard to see how did they come up with those usability suggestion. Alas, behind every usability magician, there is a magic trick! and on this podcast we reveal in plain sight what makes interfaces usable (and quote a lot from Alan Cooper's book). Once you see the trick, you would never be daunted on spotting usability yourself, and making things much more usable before passing them on. Usability magic for all of us!

Garbage collections are like the engine of a car, we know it works, we know that it powers the car, but not much else, but once it breaks down, we usually don't have a too much of a clue on how to fix it. In this episode we talk about how garbage collections happen, the things it looks for, and more importantly, how it changes your code (there are certain things that you can do to make your code garbage collector friendly). Having this knowledge will help you in the long road on troubleshooting any garbage collection issues (including tuning!), so take a listen to the garbage man! There is a new band in town!

We dive into what to avoid when using Date (and Calendar), and the most common pitfalls that we have falled for (1000*60*60*24 anyone?).

Every developer at one point in time runs into the question, what is beautiful code? Is it code that is expressed concisely? is it code that does a lot in a few lines of code. Well, while we're not the DeveloperPeople's magazine at least there are fundamental concepts that describe code beauty. And while there isn't a consensus (what is beauty anyways), at least there is a baseline for code that is not ugly (hint. It's maintainable). At least a conversation starter, this podcast covers the very minimum that code has to be to not be ugly! Questions, feedback or comments! [email protected] Subscribe to our podcast!

On this podcast we cover the state pattern with a specific example of its use, plus tips on how to spot when to use it (really that's the hardest part of the state pattern). Check this podcast out, and add another pattern to your toolkit! State Pattern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_pattern) Questions, feedback or comments!

Taking the performance theme, we move into the dark corners of Java Swing and discover that it is not a lame horse at all! Swing is very fast (with support for directX and OpenGL!), but sometimes is hard to get it to perform right. In this podcast we talk about how to make sure of respecting the EDT, offloading from the EDT, we explain how the EventQueue works, and show THE technique for fast GUI performance. If you know what Swing is, tune in! We will dispell Swing's performance myths!

In the second part of optimization, we talk about the tools (or more properly algorithms) that you can use to optimize a piece of code. Ever wonder how to make a piece of code faster? or difference between caching and Divide-and-Conquer? then tune in! You'll become the McGyver of code optimization.

We all love speed, code speed that is! In this podcast we delve into code optimizations, and what does it mean to optimize for speed. We go over what is the mind-state that you need as you optimize code and offer sneaky shortcuts that allows 10-fold improvement with very little code change (Caching, or pregenerating, or timed-updates). More importantly we go over the process on defining when you have "arrived" at a good optimization point, and hopefully help you optimize what is really important (measuring for performance). If you need to scale up/out and around, listen to this episode! If you feel you would like to share your optimization experience, go to https://groups.google.com/group/javapubhouse, and post!

In this podcast we talk about the Model-View-Controller pattern (and is prettier cousin, the Model-View-Presenter), and go over how to go about implementing the MVC/MVP Pattern (really, what to instantiate first, and how to wire the whole thing). We also cover the caveats of implementing the MVC, including escaped references in construction, and making the view alway update from the model state. Lastly we talk about where to store view information (such as window size and colors, etc. Hint: not in the model). In all, if you ever needed to touch MVC code, this will help you light the path to awesome interaction!

In this podcast we air our first question/feedback from our listener and dive a little into it (related to Dependency Injection). We also talk about how to create Thread Safe objects (There is the easy way, and the hard way). And at last! we have a Google group where you can add/post comments and open discussions.

Testing, Testing, 1.2.3! (All about Unit Testing, And Dependency Injection) For those Unit Testers out there (and those who want to do more unit tests), this podcast is for you! We cover JUnit in general, and explain how to shoe-in unit tests in current (and legacy code). We talked about Dependency Injection (and the Concern of Creation), and Mocking (what it is, and how is it used). In all, if you ever wondered why creating unit tests in your current code is hard, or why are people talking about Dependency Injection (DI), come in, and listen! Questions, feedback or comments!

In this episode we talk about the Decorator pattern and how it is applied. We cover a couple of caveats (especially when combined with the Observer pattern) and learn how to not be afraid of its verboseness. In all, it's the season of decorating, so let's decorate!

In this episode we go over Aspects (and AspectJ), what really is, and when to use them. It turns out, that there is nothing misterious about them! We also cover how to set-up Aspects for J2SE so you can start using them immediately! Questions, feedback or comments!

In this episode we talk about Threads and Threading, the difference between Daemon and User Threads, and why changing priorities is not for the weak of heart. Also we cover Swing's golden Threading rule (with the Event Dispatching Thread). If you ever typed new Thread(), or if you heard to be careful about Swing and Threading, this episode is for you!

In this week's podcast we talk about Design Patterns (and the Grand Dads of the Software Patterns, the Gang-of-four), and dive into our first design pattern (of many), the Observer pattern. We discussed how to implemented (within Java), and went to describe its use in Java Swing, and why anonymous inner classes for Listeners doesn't create memory leaks (most of the time anyways). In all a great introduction to a first pattern (see what they are all about!)

In this podcast we dive into the age-old producer and consumer problem, talked about the different aspects of it (what does it really solve?), and explain the difference between throughput vs latency. Lastly we discuss the ThreadPoolExecutor and how to fine tune it for your particular project needs!

In this episode we describe the most used collections in the Java framework, and how can they help you out. We also talk about maps (and the importance of immutable keys), and the equals/hashcode contract (why are these anyways? :). Finally we discuss how to safely access these collections/maps from different threads (and cover the check-then-act operations in maps). If you used a map, or ever got a ConcurrentModificationException, this episode is for you!

This episode goes deep into memory in Java, understanding how memory leaks happen (and how to solve them!), also how to design to avoid memory leaks, weak and soft references, and how the Garbage collector works (Eden, Tenured, Perm). This podcast will help everyone that needs to take care of a memory leak! Kudos to VisualVM and VisualGC!

In this episode of Java pub house, we talk about Deadlocks, livelocks (and other spooky things). Most importantly we talk on how to spot them (using jstack, or visualvm), and how to program defensively against them. We also talk about escaped locks (the source of most deadlocks), and the wait/notify language construct. Finally we describe the unfairness of the lock (locks are not "fair" by default), and why is it so.

On this Episode, we talk about the keyword "volatile", and what does it really mean. Even if you are a multithreading guru, this chapter goes in deep of the different things that volatile protects you from, including L2 caches and code re-ordering. We also cover the use of synchronized, and why, even though is convenient, it might create more headache than it actually solves.
