Hello! I am writing this letter as I would like to participate in GSoC 2014 developing the following idea: "Bringing the goodness of Java 8 to Hibernate Validator". I had a conversation with Gunnar Morling and he suggested to write an introductory letter to this mailing list.
My name is Dmitri Maksimov. I am a Master's degree programme in Informatics student at Tallinn University of Technology. Java is a primary programming language in our university, thus I have learned/tried a lot of stuff from Java itself (such as multithreading, reflection, custom classloaders etc.) and some corresponding tools and frameworks (Spring, Hibernate etc.). Currently I am employed as a Java developer and I am developing web-based GUI using JavaEE 6, JSF + CDI (Weld implementation) for some SOAP service. Input data validation is quite important for the GUI, so occasionally I found out about JSR-303/JSR-349 and Hibernate Validator and I thinks it is great. So, why am I applying for this idea? I have a true interest, strong knowledge and some work experience in Java platform. I really would like to use the chance to gain real-world experience in using new Java 8 features as well as get more experience with Java as general. I like the idea and principles of JSR-303/JSR-349 and Hibernate Validator. I will gladly answer any questions if necessary. And I look forward to hear what you think. -- Yours faithfully, Dmitri Maksimov. _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
