Die Java User Group mit Eberhard Wolff war ein voller Erfolg! In seinem Vortrag 'Architektur: bitte nicht zukunftssicher!' geht er der Hypothese nach, dass es am zukunftssichersten ist, sich nicht allzu viele Gedanken über die Zukunftsfähigkeit seiner Architektur zu machen.

Zum ersten Mal hat sich die Javaland '21 vollständig online präsentiert. Es gab jede Menge Vorträge, 'Frühstücksfernsehen', Spiele-Automaten und die obligatorischen Messestände der Sponsoren - aber leider auch ein paar Kinderkrankheiten, die bei der ersten Online-Konferenz vielleicht auch einfach unvermeidbar sind. Ein - durchaus subjektiver - Erfahrungsbericht.

Mit einigen Jahren JavaScript und Reactjs Erfahrung durfte ich Ende letzten Jahres (November 2019) Teil eines neuen Teams und eines neuen Projektes werden. Das Projekt ist ein Traumprojekt jeden Entwicklers. Ein grüne Wiese Projekt mit 'freier' Technologiewahl. 'Frei' in Form von man darf sich die Zeit für eine Risikoanalyse nehmen und moderne Tools und Frameworks evaluieren.

Die JCrete ist eine, wenn nicht *die* Unconference im Java-Umfeld. Initiiert von Heinz Kabutz, Kirk Pepperdine und einem Team von Dis-Organizern, findet die Unconference seit 2011 jedes Jahr auf der griechischen Insel Kreta statt. Ich hatte die Ehre, dieses Jahr schon schon zum zweiten Mal dabei zu sein und beschreibe an dieser Stelle einen typischen Tag auf der JCrete.

This post outlines the steps needed to simultaneously deploy to Maven repositories and to GitHub Releases. Every time a tagged commit is pushed, a Travis CI build will be triggered automatically and start the release process. This blog post uses Sonatype Nexus as an example for a Maven repository manager. Preparing GitHub Releases Sergey Mashkov has written a Maven plugin that allows us to create a new release on our project’s releases page and upload our build artifacts to a release.
