The most popular articles on TheServerSide tend to be the highly technical ones that hit directly at the heart of the enterprise Java developer. While we report important news, discuss interesting trends and cover key conferences, the most-read articles tend to be the ones that deal directly with development. For 2018, our most popular articles were Java developer tutorials on new APIs, frameworks such as Spring or the tools and techniques server-side developers use to move code into production.
