Welcome to my new blog. This blog is going to contain everything from personal posts about my life (which probably won't interest many people) to technical articles about Java, and related Java frameworks.
Hi! My name is James Roper, and I am a software developer with a particular interest in open source
development and trying new things. I program in Scala, Java, PHP, Python and Javascript, and I work
for Lightbend as a developer on
Lagom. I also have a full life outside the world of IT,
am a passionate Christian, enjoy playing a variety of musical instruments and sports, and currently I
live in Canberra.
