“There is no Java on some of the new devices and we wanted to change that” explains Author and JavaOne rock star Toni Epple. He describes the DukeScript project and how you can use it for cross-platform development on mobile, desktop and web browsers. Discover his new project to automatically sew a Duke design.
Learn how to create reliable, fast and repeatable builds. Andrzej Grzesik presents a case study of an externally facing API project with complex dependencies and different approaches to improve processes and quality. It explores build infrastructure, from under-the-desk bare metal, through ad hoc provisioned VMs, as well as containers.
How to build a Hypermedia-Driven RESTful Web Service. Sebastian Daschner describes different approaches to realize RESTful services with JavaEE 7 and JAX-RS. Watch his presentation as he shows best practices and different frameworks that accelerate your development.
Marcus Lagergren has been involved with the Java platform since the alpha versions. He worked at Appeal Virtual Machines, a performance-oriented start-up offering alternatives to byte code interpretation, slow-running thread implementations and non-native code. As one of the principal architects of the JRockit JVM, Marcus helped make sure that Java became a good alternative to writing programs in native languages.
Marcus contributed to virtual implementations of Java on hypervisors, when virtualization was still in its infancy, and demonstrated with the JRockit VE project that virtual solutions are good alternatives to physical platforms.
Marcus worked as a member of the Java language team implementing Java 8. He worked on improving support for dynamic languages on the JVM. Being a performance engineer at heart, Marcus demonstrated that dynamic languages, thanks to invokedynamic, achieve similar performance on the JVM compared to languages with a static type system.
What is the impact of user groups on their members, society and the extended Java community? In this article, Daniel deOliveira presents a detailed analysis of Java user groups, their governance and influence. Also known as Dr. JUG, Daniel is the founder of the Federal District Java Users Group (DFJUG) in Brazil, and is passionate about the benefits of Java user groups (JUGs).
He sees the power of JUGs as teaching machines and as forces for social good. "Teaching kids Java for free always receives the enthusiastic support of colleagues. Some groups "go the extra mile" by conducting educational activities in underprivileged communities or teaching Java to the deaf, the blind, and wheelchair users." Find out more insights about Java user groups in his article.
