[:en]Welcome Back: beyond tellerrand Opening Titles Düsseldorf 2021[:]

[:en]Last week, I was at the 2021 Düsseldorf edition of beyond tellerrand. As most on-site events during the last two years, beyond tellerrand had been postponed until, earlier this year, they got the go-ahead that the event was finally allowed to take place again. In spite of the rather short time to prepare, Marc and his team once again put on a fantastic event. These beautiful opening titles celebrate the event's return to the limelight with the simple, but very appropriate, words "Welcome ...

[:en]Java Language Features Introduced From Versions 8 Through 17[:]

[:en]The Java programming language and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) are known for being very stable and favouring compatibility over new language-level features. This focus on stability arguably is one of the reasons why Java is so popular with larger companies, particularly those of the enterprise variety, where reliability, maintainability and a long-term outlook are key and typically more important than the latest and greatest features. However, starting in 2017, with the Java release cycle changed to rapid 6-months iterations, from the previous ...

[:en]What is a (business) process, actually?[:]

[:en]The terms process and business process, in particular, are sometimes used lightly and without thinking too much about what those terms actually mean. Drawing upon and thinking in terms of the concept of a value chain (i.e., a set of activities designed to create a product or service that has value to a customer) some time ago I came up with this definition of what constitutes a process, not just when it comes to business and market value, but also with regard ...

[:en]Inversion of Control vs Dependency Injection[:]

[:en]Dependency injection is one way of implementing inversion of control - a programming principle that allows for better modularity and extensibility. Dependency injection is commonly achieved via constructor injection, field injection, or setter injection. Inversion of control is an abstract concept, which dependency injection is a realisation of. Other methods of implementing inversion of control for example include the template pattern, service discovery, delegates, events, and currying (when applying a functional programming paradigm). [:]
