Summer is here and mountain biking trails are calling but keeping up with what happens in the field never stops. This week Apple had their worldwide developers conference which filled up social media although didn’t present anything remarkable. In the other news there was good collection of slides for Java developers, ebook for DevOps and HyperDev looks interesting for quickly bang out JavaScript.

Java: stay updated, reactive and in the cloud
13 Decks Java developers must see to stay updated
Selection of nice slideshows for Java developers. Best practices, microservices, debugging, Elasticsearch, SQL.
Java SE 8 best practices

Microservices + Oracle: A Bright Future
Good slides of what are microservices. Considerations, prerequisites, patterns, technologies and Oracle’s plans. (from the “13 Decks Java developers” post)
Notes on Reactive Programming, Part I: The Reactive Landscape and Part II: Writing Some Code
A solid intro to the reactive programming. And no, it’s no coincidence that this is first. A reactive system is an entirely different beast, and such a good fit for a small set of scenarios. (from Java Web Weekly, Issue 128)
Netflix OSS, Spring Cloud, or Kubernetes? How About All of Them!
The Netflix ecosystem of tools is based on practical usage at scale, so it’s always super useful to go deep into understanding their tools. (from Java Web Weekly, Issue 128)
Takeouts from WWDC 2016
Digging into the dev documentation for APFS, Apple’s new file system
Interesting low level stuff in Mac OS Sierra. APFS takes over HFS+, has native encryption, snapshots (Time Machine done right) and is case-sensitive. Hacker News comments are worth reading.

Continuous learning

Microservice Pitfalls & AntiPatterns, Part 1
An anti-pattern is just like a pattern, except that instead of a solution it gives something that looks superficially like a solution but isn’t one. A pitfall is something that was never a good idea, even from the start. (from The Microservice Weekly #31)
Tools of the trade
Introducing HyperDev
HyperDev looks to be an interesting new product at Fog Creek Software (known from e.g. Trello). It’s developer playground for building full-stack web-apps fast. “The fastest way to bang out JavaScript code on Node.js and get it running on the internet.” as Joel Spolsky describes it.
V8, modern JavaScript, and beyond – Google I/O 2016
Debugging Node.js apps with Chrome Developer Tools is soon enabled by coming v8_inspector support.
