I think that the RSS reader is such a fantastic invention. It lets me monitor many bloggers and news sites, and see new content.\u00a0 This lets you have an eye on lots of writers, including some that haven’t written for a long time.\u00a0 I’m going to be highlighting blogs that I follow, one per month.<\/p>\n

The first is Dion Almaer’s<\/a>, who, unfortunately, has moved most of his writing to Medium<\/a>.\u00a0 But Dion is a great technologist.\u00a0 He currently is employed at WalmartLabs Mobile.\u00a0 He’s written such gems as:<\/p>\n

When people ask me about Java and why I don\u2019t often write applications in it, my answer is not that I think \u201cJava sucks\u201d. I think the JVM is amazing technology, and there are a ton of fantastic APIs. Using Java is a great answer for many situations. However, the least amount of fun that I have had programming has been when using the Java language. It isn\u2019t just that it feels frustratingly verbose, although that is part of it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Remember the Chrome Comic Book<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Dion, thanks for sharing your knowledge, please resurrect your blog!\u00a0 (Dion, I know this is an old photo–feel free to send me a new one and I’ll update this post.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
