It’s Spring in South Africa. I take a light-hearted look at some comments programmers leave behind in their code. Always a good idea to refactor your comments when you refactor your code.
You already know the switch statement in Java. But did you know that you can use switch expressions in Java to simplify your code?
We know about the ICT skills shortage in South Africa. But the statistics about the success rate of students in Science, Engineering and Technology courses is shocking.
We look at the JVM options for allocating memory. allUsing the right runtime options to set memory size is as important as choosing the right garbage collector.
Easter eggs – not the chocolate kind – are undocumented features in software that the programmers put in as a joke or bonus. I share some of the Easter eggs in Google.
