Description

So you heard about sun.misc.unsafe. Even if you are in certain circles you might have heard about that it was (almost) removed from Java 9. And if you were really paying attention you would've heard the cries of every major Java Framework to the news. While it didn't happen (Unsafe is still in Java 9, and possibly in Java 10+), we should dive into why is it so attractive, and creates such a divided opinion (JVM implementers want it gone. Performance nuts want it in) Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to our cool new NewsCast! Java Off Heap

This podcast talks about how to program in Java; not your tipical system.out.println("Hello world"), but more like real issues, such as O/R setups, threading, getting certain components on the screen or troubleshooting tips and tricks in general. The format is as a podcast so that you can subscribe to it, and then take it with you and listen to it on your way to work (or on your way home), and learn a little bit more (or reinforce what you knew) from it.
