• Software Engineering: Java

  • Microservices for Java Developers: A Hands-On Introduction to Frameworks and Containers
    Adopting microservices requires much more than changes to your technology.

  • Modern Java EE Design Patterns
    With the ascent of DevOps, microservices, containers, and cloud-based development platforms, the gap between state-of-the-art solutions and the technology that enterprises typically support has greatly increased. But as Markus Eisele explains in this O’Reilly ebook, some enterprises are now looking to bridge that gap by building microservice-based architectures on top of Java EE.
     
  • Object-Oriented vs. Functional Programming
    The schism between the functional and object-oriented programmers is really a false binary. Yes, the first group argues that FP is superior for a multicore world, while the second insists that OOP is better at matching technical solutions to business problems. However, as this O’Reilly ebook explains, this is not an either-or proposition.
     
  • Java: The Legend
    The road from Java’s first public alpha of 1.0 to today has been long—and full of technical advances, innovative solutions, and interesting complications. Along the way, Java has flourished and is now one of the world’s most important and widely-used programming environments. Benjamin Evans, the Java editor for InfoQ and author of Java in a Nutshell, 6th edition, takes us on a journey through time.

In this O'Reilly ebook, he dissects some of his most memorable blunders, peeling them back layer-by-layer to reveal just what went wrong.
     
  • Functional Programming in Python
    Python is not a functional programming language, but it is a multi-paradigm language that makes functional programming easy to perform, and easy to mix with other programming styles. In this paper, David Mertz, a director of Python Software Foundation, examines the functional aspects of the language and points out which options work well and which ones you should generally decline.
     
  • Python in Education
