One developer’s journey to find the perfect job.
How do you keep your skills up to date in this fast-moving and turbulant
industry?
Looking ahead to what functionality is available in Java 9, and IntelliJ IDEA’s support (current and future) for it.
While the list in the talks section of my blog covers past presentations,
this page should list my confirmed upcoming events.
How is Java 9 going to change the way developers work?
So, I wrote a long email to the London Java Community in answer to an excellent question: “What can men do to support Women in Technology?”. It’s a bit of a brain dump, by no means comprehensive, and is in answer to a specific question in a specific context, but I’ve been asked to make the information public so it can be useful in a broader context. So here it is.
List of resources for those trying to make the switch from Eclipse to IntelliJ IDEA:
It’s been a while since I wrote a conference write up. The short version of “why” is because I got a bit bored of doing it. Plus, I found I was attending conferences as a speaker “on the circuit”, and my experience of hanging out, catching up with my friends, chatting to other attendees to see what they’re up to and so forth, didn’t seem as useful to share with people who might want to find out whether a conference is worth attending from a content or atmosphere point of view.
Content and resources for the Code Review Matters and Manners talk, including links to additional information and

So I came to the blog to update my upcoming events (at least something stays up to date) only to find it’s been nearly a year since I last blogged! This is terrible! It’s not that I haven’t written anything in a year, it’s that a lot of my writing energy goes into stuff for the actual day job. Which is good, because that’s pretty much what I wanted from the day job, but the blog makes it look like I don’t write any more.
