2 Minute Tech Tips (2MTT) are very short YouTube videos in which thought leaders from across the Oracle and Java communities, representing a broad range of specialties and expertise, deliver nuggets of useful insight lasting 120 seconds or less.
The list below includes the most-watched 2 Minute Tech Tips published in 2019.
In some cases 2MTTs take the form of mini-presentations or demos, like those of Java Champion Adam Bien, who dominates this list with six videos. In other cases the tips are simple “talking head” videos, like that of noted software development author, presenter, and consultant Kevlin Henney (#8) who delivers his tips while wandering the streets of London with a selfie stick.
But regardless of the style adopted for each video, the people presenting these tips manage to cram a surprising amount of information into 120 seconds. That’s not easy, which makes it even more impressive that Frank Nimphius (#5) and Geertjan Wielenga (#9) produce new 2MTTs each week! Each has produced more than 20 tips just since June 1, 2019. Frank’s tips focus on Oracle Digital Assistant, and Geertjan’s tips focus on Oracle JET.
So take a few minutes to watch these tips, and then join me in congratulating these top tipsters!
