Weekly log - August - week 1

This week has been very entertaining due to the huge amount of issues I had to dealt with, here a short summary:

• I learned about the evilness about Global State, had to fix several issues related to it.
• I got very interested (yet again) in the Dependency Inversion Principle and finally understood it.
• Started working on a very interesting project regarding a bunch of new technologies and concepts that are really exciting, some of them are REST, Maven, Spring, Scala and AOP.
• Watched this great lecture on Biology provided by UCBerkeley.
• Got more and more interested in Ruby with Sinatra.
• I learn about the difference between Leadership and Authoritarianism.
• Scala seems to be the way to go beyond Java, I really like its nature and it's been defined.
• Learned about real Object-Oriented development with DCI in Practice.

FLOSS Weekly favourite episodes

Since last year I am loyal listener of FLOSS Weekly podcasts, Randall Schwartz and his guests give us hours and hours of very useful information in an interesting way.

As I am a software developer, I rather prefer some episodes related to certain issues, like frameworks and development tools and not so much with hardware-related issues.
