I am slowly getting back to a “learning fast track.” In this stage, I spend a lot of time at work, and also at home, learning. By learning I mean digging into the technology by reading and actually writing code.
One such technology is Java Persistence (JPA). I would like to learn it. I have projects that might want to utilize it, and also learning it because I think it’s a pretty good technology, perhaps better than Hibernate. It’s on my to learn list for 2009.
I am also cleaning up the house a little bit. I would like to store complete, workable projects in my SVN. And I mean projects that I can build in one click, and projects that work. I’m utilizing maven for that and it’s been working great. I am also building my own maven repo. It’s helping me a great deal as well.
