Should I learn OSGi? What's the point?

Mary Cochran

Recently, I have been hearing a lot of debate around whether it is worth someone's time to learn OSGi. Doing a simple Google search on "OSGi usability" returns results filled with phrases such as "not easy to use", "unproductive", "developer burden", and "going away". However, you will also find that it solves a lot of common issues in the JVM, particularly issues around class loading. So is learning OSGi worth your time? What is OSGi? OSGi is meant to solve...

Programmer's Model of a Processor Executing Instructions Versus Reality

Tear Down Data Silos with Mobile Microservices

Cian Clarke

A huge problem facing modern enterprises is managing the large software systems and applications they deal with on a daily basis. Be it the CRM system purchased by a predecessor, a bundled HRM product thrown in to sweeten a deal, or the CMS that marketing could not live without, silos of information exist in the modern enterprise, and it can often be difficult to utilize the data that these systems contain. When an enterprise decides to buy a proprietary system...

Red Hat: Containers for Grown-Ups - repost from Tools Advisor

Containers make you an operating system vendor. Containers drive organizational changes." Source: Red Hat: Containers for Grown-Ups - Tools Advisor

Rails + jspm >= ECMAScript 6 awesomeness

From the buzz on Twitter and blog posts, you could feel that ECMAScript 6 was finally coming. It has many things we’ve wanted for years, so it makes sense to start new projects with it in mind. ECMAScript 6 Others have written in depth about various ECMAScript 6 features. I’d like to focus just on one: module loading. There is no common way to load your ES6 modules natively in the browsers. For example babel, has support for three different...

Container development for all: Red Hat’s Container Development Kit

But while Docker containers have skyrocketed in popularity, there's been no convenient means to set up a development environment for building containerized apps. Wouldn’t it be handy to develop YOUR containerized apps for Red Hat Enterprise Linux from...
