Twenty-five years after its creation, Java is still the most popular programming language according to the latest TIOBE index. Who would have thought that the language invented by Sun would have such a destiny when it was created in 1995?Today, knowing how to program in Java language has become almost indispensable. Why? Simply because the language that now belongs to Oracle allows you to do everything. It is thus possible to create desktop applications, Web applications or mobile applications via Android, which is crushing the smartphone market. The question of the need to learn Java does not therefore arise in 2019.Books to learn Java are numerous and it is therefore very difficult to find your way around such an important choice. In addition, the Java language has evolved a lot since (...)

The target audience for this reading list is enterprise software developers and architects. I chose to focus on system design, data modelling, security, devops, process, creativity, and computer science foundations which are essential and generally useful to most software engineers. Enjoy, happy reading, and let me know what you think!Code Complete by Steve McConnell — This comprehensive, classic tome on software design, construction, and craftsmanship has stood the test of time. McConnell’s discussion of metaphors, #architecture, debugging, quality assurance and ethics are excellent and still relevant in the context of the cloud, troubleshooting complex systems, fixing security defects, and collaborating with diverse teams. My favorite proverb therein is: measure twice, cut once. Visit the (...)

A JOURNEY INTO THE JUICY COMPLEXITY OF REGENERATIVE CULTUREThank you so much for this wonderfully honest review of how Designing Regenerative Cultures landed within you. I am deeply grateful you gave it time and hope the book with remain useful to you. Lots of love, DanielI knew a lot about regenerative #culture before I opened this book. I knew how it differs from sustainability (although I actually see #regeneration as fundamental to true sustainability; it’s just that mainstream views of sustainability don’t recognize that). But I’ve now learned that what I knew is clearly only a beginning. So I’ve ended up writing two parallel reviews, a new adventure for me… Here’s my first one:1.I have not finished this book.

According to statistics, the majority of the population does not even read a book a year. On the other hand, one often hears that “successful” people read at least ten books a year. Whether these facts are true or not, they inspired me almost ten years ago to make me read at least 50 books each year. That’s how my “52 Books in 52 Week Challenge” came into being.In 2018 I had the “ten year anniversary” of this challenge.

When I was kid, I bought a learning kit from the book fair that taught me about electricity. It showed me how to wire an LED light and make a buzzer. I tried to set a trap to alarm me when somebody came to my room. Around the same time in life, I had a teacher who said I was lousy at math. I’ve avoided anything math or science-related as much as possible ever since.Two things happened this week related to that math aversion. I started an intensive 10-week course to learn software development, with the end goal of finding an entry level job as a software developer. And towards the end of the week, another learning kit arrived in the mail to teach me about circuits and solar electricity.I had a difficult time deciding whether or not to attend the coding class. But my first week of class (...)

Most of us want to read more — few of us find the time or the motivation to do it. #books clubs are an excellent motivator while expanding the worth you get from #reading a book on your own. You receive the benefit of a diverse range of opinions on each topic which makes every book more valuable and aids in the retention of the information you’ve consumed.We will get through a book in two weeks. This gives people enough time to order the physical copy if that’s their preference.During the process, the group acts as an open forum to discuss what you’ve read, why you find it interesting or the reason you disagree (especially if you disagree!). From there, discussion will naturally occur which has enough differing perspective and viewpoints to make things compelling and interesting.The only rule (...)

How the best product teams exploit homo sapiens’ defining traitBy Winston Christie-Blick | product manager at productboardThe best product managers are masterful illusionists. And to work their magic, they exploit a trait that is unique to humans — or to be more precise, to homo sapiens.After all, it is this trait that gave us an edge over our brawnier, heartier neanderthal brethren and explains why we sapiens have imposed ourselves at the top of the food chain wherever we’ve settled on Earth, even amidst predatory saber tooth tigers, imposing mammoths and mastodons.That trait is the ability to #mythologize, to imagine entities that don’t physically exist, perceive them as though they were real, and to do so collectively.Such is the claim made by Yuval Noah Harari in his bestselling Sapiens: A (...)

Historical fiction has been having a bit of moment recently, especially among authors from the African continent and its diaspora. Authors imagine new possibilities out of old configurations; the past often proves as fecund as the futures that writers of speculative or science fiction might imagine. Recently novelists such Yaa Gyasi, Yvonne Owuor, Colson Whitehead,…
