Online Course: Introduction to Node.js

Finally have a look at the node.js, very impressive. the behavior driven testing with mocha and should.js is beautiful. the integration work with socket.io is actually some feature i have been looking for. and the process fork/spawn/exec is an elegant solution for start another process within the node.js

Online Course: Introduction to OpenStack

Very nice course for the introduction of openstack, although a bit general and no enough details on specific projects such as keystone, glance, nova, cinder, heat, ceilometer, etc (understandable as it is an introductory course and openstack is quite huge).

Online Course: Getting Started with Spring Data JPA

Going through this course on spring data jpa today, did not realise how powerful spring data jpa is and how much less work i could have saved in the past if only i took this course earlier. The query DSL (query methods with keywords) are fantastic, the paging and sorting as well as the auditing are all something which have troubled me when using spring jpa in the past. But the course makes it very easy to understand.
