Hi, I'm Heather. I've been a software engineer since 2006, but am keenly aware of how intimidating it can be to dip your toes into the waters of computer programming. I was lucky enough to have an amazing group of gals acting as my rock during college while learning to program. However, not everyone is so fortunate.
Understanding a Java stack trace can be important when troubleshooting errors in a Java application. Stack traces can tell us about the exception thrown as well as the method calls that resulted in that exception. #java #exceptionHandling #stackTrace
Java method references are a replacement for lambda expressions that aid in clarity and brevity when the lambda expression would only reference an existing, named method.
Java streams and the corresponding operation pipelines are useful to perform calculations and transformations on collections, ranges and other types of related inputs. #java #streams #lambdaExpressions #pipelines
Lambda expressions are unnamed Java functions defined in-line in the source code where they are used. #java #lambdaExpressions #syntax
Although care is still needed Java's StringBuffer can aid in multi-threaded use cases when constructing a String that requires intermediate states. #java #StringBuffer #String #multithreaded #tdd #stepByStep #coding

Java's StringBuilder can improve the performance of complex String creation, as long as only one thread will access the builder. #java #stringbuilder #streams #performance #tdd #testdrivendevelopment

Since Java Strings cannot be changed once created, if we need to construct a Java String with one or more variable(s) included, then we can use the format method. #java #string #syntax #performance #garbageCollection

When you find yourself stuck while working on an issue, trying to power through may not be the best way to make progress. Instead, try to find a way to look at the problem with fresh eyes. #teamWork #coding #troubleshooting #help #issues

The maven-pmd-plugin is another source of possible quality gates for our java build. It can help ensure that we only release code that meets the team's quality standards. #java #mavenBuild #qualityGates #maven-pmd-plugin
