At the very beginning of 2014 I decided to start better documenting my reading habits and sharing them here with all of you.
在2014年年初，我决定开始更好地记录我的阅读习惯，并在这里与你们所有人分享。
The point is two fold – by curating and documenting, my reading has become more purposeful and diverse. Also – I believe that curation of good content brings a lot of value, helps people explore and allows the best stuff to raise to the top.
这有两层意思–通过策划和记录，我的阅读变得更有目的性和多样化。另外–我相信对好内容的策划会带来很多价值，帮助人们探索，并让最好的东西提升到顶端。
Hopefully you’ll enjoy these as we move in the latter half of 2014.
希望在我们进入2014年下半年时，你会喜欢这些。
Here we go…
我们来了……。

>> Writing Tests for Data Access Code – Green Build Is Not Good Enough
A solid start for this weeks review – Petri goes over some good practices for testing an application. The 3rd point about transactionality is especially important – don’t test with different transaction semantics.
本周评论的一个坚实的开端–Petri介绍了一些测试应用程序的良好做法。关于事务性的第三点特别重要–不要用不同的事务语义进行测试。
It’s also quite funny: “We have two options: the right one and wrong one”.
这也是相当有趣的。”我们有两个选择：正确的选择和错误的选择”。
>> State of the Specialization
Generics over primitives are comming to Java (perhaps reification as well) – Brian Goetz published a very early proposal that’s definitely worth reading.
基元上的泛型即将进入Java（也许也是重构）–Brian Goetz发表了一份非常早期的提案，绝对值得一读。
>> From JPA to Hibernate’s legacy and enhanced identifier generators
Next on the list – further on generation of identifiers with JPA – this series is going to be a great resource to go deep into persistence with both Hibernate and JPA.
下一个列表–进一步讨论用JPA生成标识符–这个系列将是深入研究Hibernate和JPA的持久性的重要资源。
>> Introduction to writing custom collectors in Java 8
Who says that Java 8 is deprecating Guava – here’s a good primer on collectors that shows they can play well together.
谁说Java 8要废弃Guava–这里有一个关于收集器的很好的入门读物，显示它们可以很好地一起玩。
>> Turning recursive file system traversal into Stream
An elegant use of streams to flatten and traverse an directory on the file system.
优雅地使用流来平整和遍历文件系统中的目录。

>> Should my tests be @Transactional?
This is one of these areas where I’m doing things so much differently now than I was even a few years ago. My view on tests and @Transactional is no.
这是其中一个领域，我现在的做法与几年前大不相同。我对测试和@Transactional的看法是否定的。
Why not? A few reasons – one, I find it valuable to have the tests consume my system and my APIs with the same transaction semantics that they’re actually consumed in production; changing these will make things subtly different – and subtle differences in tests are – in my experience – not good.
为什么不呢？有几个原因–第一，我发现让测试使用与生产中实际使用的交易语义相同的系统和API是很有价值的；改变这些将使事情发生微妙的变化–根据我的经验，测试中的微妙变化是不好的。
A second reason behind the `no` is that knowing that I’ll have junk data and the end of my test suite run makes me write the test logic in a certain way, really think through some scenarios and, overall, has a positive effect on the flexibility of the tests.
`no`背后的第二个原因是，知道我将有垃圾数据和我的测试套件运行的结束，使我以某种方式编写测试逻辑，真正思考一些场景，总体而言，对测试的灵活性有积极影响。
But that’s my own preference, and as Marco opens the article with – it depends. All in all – a good article to read.
但这是我自己的偏好，正如马可在文章开头所说–这取决于。总而言之–这是一篇值得一读的好文章。
>> SpEL support in Spring Data JPA @Query definitions
Spring Data just got a little bit cooler – nuff said.
Spring数据刚刚变得有点凉爽–不说了。
>> Spring Data REST now comes with ALPS metadata
ALPS metadata is new to me, and this article makes it look quite interesting – perhaps a step forward from the slow pace the hypermedia types are getting standardized.
ALPS元数据对我来说是个新事物，这篇文章让它看起来相当有趣–也许是从超媒体类型获得标准化的缓慢步伐中前进了一步。
Worth a look – and will probably require some digging to really get a good idea of what this kind of metadata can do for an API (digging that I’m planning to do during the weekend).
值得一看–而且可能需要进行一些挖掘，以真正了解这种元数据对API的作用（我计划在周末进行挖掘）。
>> Spring Tool Suite and Groovy/Grails Tool Suite 3.6.0 released
A new STS is out – and since it’s a tool I use every day, I was quick to upgrade; if you’re on Eclipse and doing Spring – there’s really no reason to not give it a go.
新的STS出来了 – 因为它是我每天都在使用的工具，所以我很快就升级了；如果你在Eclipse上做Spring – 真的没有理由不给它一个机会。

>> TDD Chess Game Part 9: God Save the Queen
While I didn’t have the chance to see this part yet, I’ve been covering the entire series in my weekly reviews since the very start, so I have no qualms recommending it even before I see it this weekend. The series is jam packed – and, if I’m being honest, it’s something that should probably be productized and sold – but since it’s free – go through it and you’ll pick up a lot.
虽然我还没有机会看到这一部分，但我从一开始就在我的每周评论中涵盖了整个系列，所以即使在我本周末看到它之前，我也毫无顾虑地推荐它。这个系列是jam packed–而且，如果我是诚实的，它是可能应该被产品化和销售的东西–但由于它是免费的–通过它，你会得到很多。
>> What not to do in an interview, part 2: Interviewer Edition
Nice continuation of the first interview tips article – I’ve been on both sides of the interview table and what I found personally is that being the interviewer is much harder (for me). There’s a long, long way to go until you’re a half decent interviewer – and this is a decent list of things to keep in mind when you’re in that position.
第一篇面试技巧文章的良好延续–我一直在面试桌的两边，我个人发现，作为面试官要难得多（对我来说）。在你成为一个半成品的面试官之前，还有很长很长的路要走–这是一个很好的清单，当你处于这个位置时，你要牢记这些事情。
