Java Pub House

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). In all it has a little bit for everyone, so take a listen!

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!

With the establishment of Java 7 as the de-facto JRE of Oracle, the clock is ticking down for Java 6! It will be End-Of-Life around February 2013, so we better get going and upgrade! In this episode we cover how to migrate to Java 7, and cover some of the most notable Java 7 features (Networking nuts, your prayers have been answered!) while preparing a path to upgrade. If you have a Java 6 (or 5 or 4) project, this is mandatory listening!

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!
