Java World 2014

Last time I worked with Java the most recent version was 1.4. Yes, it was quite a long time ago :)
Today I have received a link from my colleague, whom we started working on a new java-based project with, advising me to read the following article this night - Happy New Year to you!

I have read all the parts (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3) and I should admit, it was worth reading!

P.S. Happy New Year. I wish the coming year will be good and peaceful for ALL the people.
Enjoy!

A good resource with a list of readings for those who are interested in better understanding quants to speak the same language at least! ;)
