Maarten on IT

A reproducible build means anyone can recreate your exact binary output from source code—bit-for-bit identical, every time.

Command-line tools are great for automation, but choosing the right technology stack to build them can be tricky.

Six years after my first Devoxx Poland visit, I was invited there again to present.

In one of my pet projects, I’m writing a Jakarta EE web application where I want users to authenticate using Google.

Sometimes, a Maven plugin logs more then you want it to.

This year, I again have the pleasure to join Devnexus and speak there.

Slow builds are annoying!

If you’ve built any kind of web-based application in the last decade, chances are you were building a single-page application (SPA).

This week, I’ve been attending Devoxx Belgium.

This week, I’m attending the 19th edition of the Devnexus conference in Atlanta!

Last week, I attended JavaZone, the annual conference ran by javaBin, the Norwegian Java User Group.

A quick note, this time.

Earlier, I wrote about integrating PIT with the Stryker Mutator Dashboard.

If there’s one topic that has kept the Java community excited over the last years, it’s Project Loom.

It’s been a while since the first two posts about Dapr!

Earlier this month, I introduced you to Dapr, the Distributed Application Runtime.

Building distributed applications or microservice applications brings a whole new range of problems.

Following the recent kerfuffle around the security manager deprecation, I was curious to see if a codebase I’m working on would also suffer.

Java evolves at a much faster pace than it used to do.

During my work on Maven today, I found a very specific bug.

Recently, the Maven community decided to push forward and start working towards a 4.0.0 release.

When you operate servers, whether physical or virtual, at some point in time you may find yourself victim to bots or botnets trying to access your server over SSH.

Everything is code, and code is everywhere.

Over the years, badges have become a way for open source maintainers to show the state of their product.

Setting up new infrastructure can be a tedious process.

Together with four “AwesomeSauce” colleagues from Info Support, I’m attending DevNexus this year.

Shipping a new release of software usually involves quite a few steps.

This year I’m returning to Devoxx.

If you’ve followed recent developments in the Java ecosystem, you must know GraalVM.

Third day on Code One already!

On this second day at Code One I have again visited interesting sessions.

This year I’m returning to Oracle Code One (formerly JavaOne) for the third time.

When you’re writing Java applications, chances are you’re using Maven for dependency management.

From yesterday until tomorrow I’m attending Devoxx Poland (or Devoxx PL for short).

Recently, I was building a website with documentation for one of the projects I’m involved with.

When you want to transmit binary files over SOAP-based web services, you have two choices: Base64 or Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM).

Last month, I did a talk at GOTO Berlin where I explained the basics of Transport Layer Security.

Recently, Twitter brought the renaming of Ozark to Krazo to my attention.

There are many situations when you need to write a SOAP-based webservice.

Recently, my co-worker Willem pulled my attention to the .NET Microservices.

Every now and then, there’s this moment where you feel a certain urge to draw a diagram.

Last Tuesday was the first edition of JVMCON.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about migrating an existing Spring-application to Java 9.

I recently participated in a Twitter conversation about upgrading to Java 9.

Almost two months ago I visited Devoxx 2017.

It’s been a while since my last post!

This year, I had the pleasure again to visit JavaOne.

Todays note is nothing more than a quick tip.

Recently, I found myself running tslint on a small React application written in TypeScript.
