tel-high-res Shine's Technical Excellence Leadership Group (TEL) has had a stellar year! In this post we've pulled together our top picks from 2016 that we think deserve a special shout out before the year comes to a close. But first, a quick recap on what the TEL group actually is. TEL was established in 2011 with the aim of publicising the great technical work that Shine does, and to raise the company's profile as a technical thought-leader through blogs, local meet up talks, and conference presentations. TEL is allocated a yearly budget from the super-duper generous Shine directors, and the members of the TEL group are put in charge of overseeing how it is spent. The budget comprises two parts: money and time. The monetary portion of the budget goes to prizes and bonuses for producing material. The time portion is for staff to draw upon to get away from their day-to-day work commitments and to produce their material. So, now that you know what TEL is all about, let's have a look at the highlight reel from 2016 shall we?

2a_02 Not so long ago, a good old username and password were considered more than enough to secure access to our applications and favourite web sites. But back then, nobody could have imagined the countless ways in which a hacker can now get a hold of our precious login credentials. From software exploits to social engineering, security has been drawn into the spotlight like never before, and software developers must really think hard about security when building any type of software solution. In this blog post, I'll explain how you can secure your Spring applications using 2FA (Two Factor Authentication).

Introduction

In recent years, Spring has become much more than just a dependancy injection container and an MVC web application framework. Nowadays, it's the go-to for building enterprise solutions due to the fact it has a fantastic community built up around it, and it has a multitude of projects that makes every developer's life that little bit easier! In this blog post, I'm going to briefly introduce Spring Data REST, and how we used it and an unknown feature called 'projections' on a recent project.

Rewire your brain. Do it now. That’s what Oracle wants you to do with the introduction of the Java 8 SE. Unnecessarily dramatic statements aside, the “JCP” have approved a number of new language features that bring functional programming to Java – and which Oracle are promoting so heavily, they may as well be walking around with “declarative programming is great” inked on their collective foreheads.

Saturday-Night-Fever-2

The Kick-Off Meeting

It went something along the lines of:
  • Client: "We have a new requirement for you.."
  • Shiners: "Shoot.."
  • Client: "We'd like you to come up a solution that can insert 2 million rows per hour into a database and be able to deliver real-time analytics and some have animated charts visualising it. And, it should go without saying, that it needs to be scalable so we can ramp up to 100 million per hour."
  • Shiners: [inaudible]
  • Client: "Sorry, what was that?"
  • Shiners: [inaudible]
  • Client: "You'll have to speak up guys.."
  • Shiners: "Give us 6 weeks"
We delivered it less than 4.

I've been lucky enough to be in San Francisco this week to cover the JavaOne conference.  Today (Monday 23rd) was the first real day of conference proceedings and it was a very full day.  Sessions started 8.30am and ran until 8.15pm with usually half an hour to an hour break in between.  In this post I'll focus on the best sessions of today as well as some of the logistics of being an attendee at a big conference.
