There are only a limited number of spots left for this OpenValue #Düsseldorf event - and it’s shaping up to be a valuable one.

Two speakers: @jagovreede.bsky.social and me with two talks on #Quarkus and #Scripting with #Java

New Foojay author Hector Ventura announces a fascination project: "Floci: A High-Performance, GraalVM-Powered AWS Emulator." It isn't just another wrapper but built using a modern Java stack (JAX-RS, Quarkus, Vert.x) and is compiled into a native binary using GraalVM.

Last year I gave the talk "Demystifying Dependency Injection" at a few #Java conferences and Meetups ( #JconSlovenia, @javaforumnord.bsky.social, #JavaCro, @jugmuenster.bsky.social , @openvalue.eu ). I am now breaking that talk up into a series of articles.

There is. They actually provide a Spring integration, JUnit extensions and the manual one.
The code is kind old, ~5 years I think and I got no idea why I took the most boilerplate way to do it

Ah yeah, I then usually add a webmail client like RoundCube as a container

I always love using Green mail. Even has JUnit rules and everything.
Got an example on how to use it here:

Our OpenValue Wrapped 2025 is here! How many cups of coffee? How many AI pair programming sessions? And did we deploy on Fridays?

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

Looks like Bobby Tables is going to sign up soon 🫠

When travelling abroad for work I try to take a few days off, discover the country and recharge batteries. Also this time. Among other things I went hiking in beautiful Učka national park, where the lighting and the autumn colored leaves created a beautiful scenery.

I presented my talk 'Demystifying Dependency Injection' where I showed why we want to use DI in the first place, the different injection types and how the wiring is solved. With that knowledge we were ably to demystify how DI is done by all the major frameworks and learned how to do it manually.

Though I am home for a few weeks now and the daily grind has caught up, looking back to #JavaCro is still putting a big smile on my face.

A really well run conference with inspiring talks in a unique location: an island before Rovinj.

Just a few more days to go and I will speak at #JavaCro about Dependency Injection.

Oder so.

Last week I had the pleasure to speak at @javaforumnord.bsky.social about Dependency Injection. I showed why we want to use it, different injection types and how the wiring is solved.

Just one more month to go until @javaforumnord.bsky.social
