Episode 49. Don't put Pressure on me! (About Generational Garbage, and Pressures)

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. In all is a collection of Garbage-related issues that all of us should know. Come and take a listen!

Episode 48. Let's get Groovy with GRADLE in JAVA!

Strike 1, Strike 2, and STRIKE 3! We cover the last of the build tools, GRADLE. It's hip, it's cool, it wears a cool leather jacket and rides around on a great motorcycle. The last of the build tools, it has learned from prior mistakes and has combined the best of Ant and Maven into one groovy package. Learn about the last of the build tools, and when to really use it!

Episode 47. Stop. Maven Time!

So moving to a more recent build tool we cover probably one of the more popular one. Maven is now incredibly robust, and helps fixing what is known as Jar Hell. Have you ever used two libraries that depended on different versions of a logging framework? Well, Maven makes using tons of libraries incredibly easy. Come and take a listen!
