SESSION + Live Q&A
Modular Java Development in Action
Since Java 9, a brand new module system is part of the Java platform. This isn’t your average language feature: making the most out of it may involve rewiring your brain. In this session we explore the benefits of a modular codebase using Java 9 modules. After reviewing the basic concepts of modules, we’ll look at what it means to take an existing application to this new modular world. Features like automatic modules and open modules will have no secrets for you after such a migration. Want examples? We’ve got plenty in this practical and code-driven talk. You'll be ready to explore modular development in Java before you know it.

Neural Networks Across Space and Time
This is an intro-level talk on deep learning. We’ll start with a brief introduction to deep neural networks, why they are important and how they work. The talk will then cover two of the most important deep neural architectures: convolutional networks which excel at handling images and...

Java at Scale
Java is on billions of devices but what does that really mean? How far can you take Java? Whats the smallest device you can run it on and what’s the largest? What about cloud or clusters or containers or even new types of hardware? In this talk learn more about how Java and the JVM cope with...

Is Boilerplate Code Really So Bad?
Many JVM languages promote "less boilerplate code" as one of their selling points. Even updates to Java in recent years have removed unnecessary syntax. While this is clearly meant to be a Good Thing, many of us - particularly if we've been writing Java for a long time - think "so what?". Our...

Serverless and Java in the Real World
The siren song of Serverless lures developers in with promises of “only write business logic” and “deliver value quickly”, but it’s often unclear how to actually work on large-scale, real world Serverless applications, especially in an old-school language like Java. Concerns like...
