Presentation: "Java.next"
Time: Wednesday 14:05 - 15:05
Location: Olympic
Programming server-side Java can still be concise, effective and iterative but doing so requires changing long-standing assumptions about how Java should be written. For Java to continue to compete for developer mindshare, Java idioms need to be informed by frameworks like Sinatra and languages like Scala and Erlang.
This talk will cover techniques for writing Java applications that are highly performant and operate at scale while keeping maintenance and operational impedance low. The talk will challenge long held beliefs about Object Oriented programming, IoC and ORM frameworks and techniques for building HTTP services. The talk will attempt to demonstrate that by using simplified idioms while leveraging the power of Java tooling (such as IDEs), Java is still one of the best programming languages for the JVM and the best for deploying high performance applications on the JVM.
