The seventh lecture (out of 16) from Innopolis is published, it's about XML and data formats in general.

The 8th lecture (out of 16) from Innopolis is published, it's about UML and the family of standards around it, like MOF, XMI, QVT, etc.

M177: Using auto-formatters to make your code look nice is a bad idea. Mostly because they won't teach you anything about code quality. Instead, always format your code manually. This is how you learn a lot about quality and good programming practices. Watch it.

The 9th lecture (out of 16) from Innopolis University is already on YouTube. It was about SQL, NoSQL, and in general database management systems.

The 10th lecture (out of 16) from Innopolis University is published, about CI/CD and deployment in general.

The first volume is in Moscow. Good chance to get it with my signature, delivered to you by courier (any place in Russia). Text me when ready. It’s $40.96 plus shipment.

I will be speaking live at Ruby Russia in 30 minutes. You can watch it here (in Russian).

Hey, I released debate, a new LaTeX package, which helps you organize a discussion between reviewers right inside your document:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{debate}
\begin{document}
I think apples are tastier
  \debate[Jeff]{I don't think it's true!}
  \debate[Anna]{It is indeed true!}
than pears!
\end{document}

This should be very convenient when a few people are working with the document, for example in Overleaf. The discussion will be visible (marked with red color) and can easily be removed everywhere in the document with the package option: \usepackage[hide]{debate}.

M178: Proper management is not something any team can afford. Here is a simplified framework, which gives you enough control over project affairs and at the same time doesn't bother the team too much. I called it SIMBA since it's a Simplified Management By Artifacts. Watch it.

N10: Новый выпуск черно-белого айти. Здесь.

After two years delay, I just released a new version of Qulice, an aggregator of style checkers for Java (Checkstyle + PMD + SpotBugs) shipped as Maven, Gradle, and Ant plugin. This style checker is used in all Java projects I work with. I highly recommend you do the same. This new version 0.19.0 is compatible with Java 17 (just checked).

By the way, there are 200 issues in the backlog. Maybe you can help fix some of them?

And, yeah, one more thing. Don't forget to give it a GitHub star, if you use it and/or like it!
