The full title reads “Java by Comparison - Become a Java Craftsman in 70 Examples”.
When I first heard of the book I was sceptical: Is there really enough common ground for 70 good code examples? Would the examples be the starting point of an argument if you would show them to a team of programmers? After a conference in Berlin, Simon offered me a free copy to read.

Asciidoc is a markup language for documentation. Asciidoctor is a popular implementation of a rendering engine for Asciidoc.
I’ve given a talk Asciidoctor Deep Dive at the JavaLand conference. I post the code samples, the slides and a video recording here.
In the talk I share my experiences with Asciidoctor, tips and tricks and hints to style your PlantUML diagrams. I also show how to get most out of Asciidoctor PDF generation using templates and extensions.

For the German magazine Informatik Spektrum I wrote an article capturing the current ideas of microservices as an introduction.
It’s based on my project experience over the last two years. A free online-version of the article is available as well!
