JavaOne After Event
LOCATION: Zürich
| AGENDA: |
|
JavaOne is the annual conference where Java technologies and surrounding topics are discussed among developers, technicians and interested professionals. In 2015, JavaOne celebrated its 20th birthday. For all of those who haven’t had the possibility to attend JavaOne in San Francisco, we bring the conference to Switzerland.
Internationally well-known speakers from different companies present the latest trends, tips and techniques. A short retrospective transferring the spirit of JavaOne is followed by five selected talks that were held during the conference. Don’t miss the chance to get in touch with the speakers during this after work event.
We are looking forward to meet you in Zurich!
Session 1: Frege: Purely Functional Programming for the JVM
SPEAKER: Dierk Koenig COMPANY: Canoo Engineering AG
Frege is Haskell for the JVM. It is the only purely functional JVM language and has a lot of interesting features in that regard. Most of all, it interoperates with Java in a very special manner that doesn’t try to mix but combines with the object-oriented world without sacrificing any of its language guarantees in terms of purity. Pure functions cannot possibly have mutable state or any other side effects and are thus the ultimate tool for concurrent and parallel programming. If you’ve ever wanted to see how functional programming looks in its pure form, this session is for you.
LEVEL OF TALK: Intermediate
Session 1: JavaFX Enterprise 2.0
SPEAKER: Alexander Casall COMPANY: Saxonia Systems AG
SPEAKER: Hendrik Ebbers COMPANY: Canoo Engineerig AG
JavaFX provides awesome features for creating modern and interactive user interfaces, but in addition to a cool UI, there are other important issues that must be considered in creation of business applications with JavaFX. Last year the JavaFX Enterprise presentation’s main focus was on concurrency and how JavaFX applications can communicate with a server, but in the last 12 months, not only JavaFX has evolved but so have the open source APIs and frameworks around JavaFX. Therefore, this presentation adds some interesting points such as testing and deployment to the list of topics that must be mastered to create a rocking JavaFX application.
LEVEL OF TALK: Intermediate
Session 2: Getting Ready with Asciidoctor on Java Virtual Machine
SPEAKER: Andres Almiray COMPANY: Canoo Engineering AG
SPEAKER: Ixchel Ruiz COMPANY: Canoo Engineering AG
Writing documentation is often seen as no fun, but it does not have to be that way. Asciidoctor is a member of the microformat markup language family—like Markdown but with more pizzazz and power. Asciidoctor revolutionizes source doc processing in JVM by leveraging well-known tools such as Maven and Gradle—you can even call it from the command line as is. This session presents syntax and dives into the JVM toolset that lets you create great documentation. Come learn why teams around the world are getting excited about Asciidoctor.
LEVEL OF TALK: Intermediate
Session 2: Designer Versus Developer
SPEAKER: Anton Epple COMPANY: Dukehoff GmbH
Requirements for the UI have changed a lot in the past years. Using large monolithic frameworks and applying some skinning isn’t good enough anymore. Users expect a much better experience nowadays. In addition, new devices require apps to be touch-enabled and feature responsive layouts. As a result, developers spend more and more time pushing pixels, converting designs into responsive applications instead of writing business logic. DukeScript enables a different designer/developer workflow. Developers just need to create the business logic in plain Java, and the design can be left completely to the designers. Attend this session to learn about application development as it was meant to be.
LEVEL OF TALK: Intermediate
Session 3: Shooting the Rapids: Maximizing the Performance of Java 8 Streams
SPEAKER: Kirk Pepperdine COMPANY: Kodewerk Ltd.
For Java programmers, iterating over a collection is the time-honored way of processing data. Now, from Java 8 onward, we will instead be writing stream programs – more concise, more expressive, and more maintainable. But how fast will they be? To understand the factors that govern stream performance, we need to look at the implementation of their different parts: beginning in a Spliterator, ending in a collector, and – for parallel streams – processing in the fork/join framework. This presentation uses measurements of these different stages to analyze the performance of some practical programs. The result will be guidelines for getting the best performance from Java 8 streams and for predicting when it is worthwhile to go parallel.
