  • Rescuing Checked Exceptions in Asynchronous Java Code

This article investigates how to overcome that syntactical limitation.

  • Towards a Resolution-Independent Web with SVG

    This article examines the advantages of using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) as the preferred format for the graphic assets of any web or mobile web project. The aim here is not to deter designers and developers from the proven method of using raster formats (PNG / JPEG) but rather to showcase how usage of SVGs can enhance the workflow of any web project.

  • "The Docker Book" Review and Author Q&A

    "The Docker Book", by James Turnbull, is a hands-on book for everyone who wants to learn about Docker.

InfoQ took the opportunity to hear the author on the book and Docker.

  • DukeScript: A New Attempt to Run Java Everywhere

    DukeScript is a technology meant to bring Java to every client, mobile or desktop, without the need of a plug-in. In spite of its misleading name, DukeScript is not a new scripting language but an attempt to “put Java back in JavaScript”, in an attempt to fulfill the initial vision for Java: Write Once, Run Everywhere.

  • Java 8 Lambdas - A Peek Under the Hood

    Java 8 was released in March 2014 and introduced lambda expressions as its flagship feature. This article sheds light on how Java 8 lambda expressions and method references are implemented under the hood, and looks at the generated bytecode and performance implications.
