		<title>StringBuffer vs. StringBuilder performance comparison</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Even if the StringBuilder was around for a while now, many people still use StringBuffer in single threaded applications. The main difference is stated in the StringBuffer comments:
&#8220;As of  release JDK 5, this class has been supplemented with an equivalent class designed for use by a single thread, {StringBuilder}. The StringBuilder class should generally [...]]]></description>

		<title>The 10 minutes &#8220;Getting started with RMI&#8221; tutorial</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since Java 5 working with RMI (Remote Method Invocation) is very easy. You don&#8217;t need the rmic compiler unless you work with legacy RMI clients. Now stubs are generated automatically at runtime. Let&#8217;s see a very minimalistic example.
Our scenario will have a server sharing an object via RMI and a client calling the shared instance.

		<title>36 steps to success as technical lead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The &#8220;tech lead&#8221; role can be treacherous at times. While the name implies &#8220;leadership&#8220;, most of the times it doesn&#8217;t come with implied authority like a manager role for example. It often happens that this role is in a no-man&#8217;s-land where it brings a lot of responsibility but not enough formal authority. In order to [...]]]></description>

		<title>No, inheritance is not the way to achieve code reuse!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every once in a while I interview a new computer science graduate for a developer position. I prefer to ask the kind of questions that will let me see how they think about programming, if they think for themselves and if they are passionate about it.
Usually when I get to object oriented programming and I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Creators of 30 Programming Languages: pages, biographies, blogs, interviews</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Behind any programming language there is a creator or sometimes a small team. Each language has a story and a philosophy and each creator had a motivation, a problem to solve.
Programming languages influence and sometimes determine the way programmers solve problems and the way problems can be solved. They gain supporters, make enemies and cause [...]]]></description>

		<title>Script Your Scala Application with JRuby, Jython, Groovy and JavaScript</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This tutorial shows how you can script a Scala application using the Java 6 scripting engines features (JSR 223 Scripting APIs). It also proves the level of power Scala gets from running on the JVM and from being able to use Java APIs. Along with a syntax that tries hard not to alienate Java and [...]]]></description>

		<title>13 reasons why Ruby, Python and the gang will push Java to die&#8230; of old age</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately I seem to find everywhere lots of articles about the imminent dismissal of Java and its replacement with the scripting language of the day or sometimes with other compiled languages.
No, that is not gonna happen. Java is gonna die eventually of old age many many years from now.
I will share the reasoning behind my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Exceptional Java - Exception design relativity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Designing the error path in the code is not the most entertaining part of a programmer&#8217;s job. We are focused on coding the solution, the success path, and the damn exceptions stand in the way demanding to be handled. What makes it even harder and murkier is the lack of well established rules for what [...]]]></description>
