Exceptions vs Errors in Java * Exceptions: Unwanted or unexpected events + NullPointerException + IntegerOverflowException + IllegalArgumentException * Errors: Serious problems that you should try not to catch - generally no recovery + OutOfMemoryError + StackOverflowError + NoClassDefFoundError * What happens if your code runs in a background thread? + Thread gets terminated, but the application keeps running + Resources are released, dependent threads are terminated + It's up to the owner of the thread to handle the situation + The best practice is to attempt to handle these situations by validating at startup

Question from Twitter: (thanks jvilaverde!) How do you guys keep up with your data sources?
