Talk 1: Project Loom – the future of JVM parallelism
Speaker: Lukáš Křečan, Software Engineer at Productboard
Description: If you really need to scale your application or have long running requests on JVM, you either have to use reactive programming or coroutines. It solves the scalability problem but you have to pay quite a substantial price for it. Reactive code is much harder to debug and reason about. Oracle prepares Project Loom that will let you have your cake and eat it. We will walk through different parallelisation paradigms and will show that Project Loom is a real game-changer.
Talk 2: Changing the mindset around development
Speaker: Jan Kalina, Back End Developer at Applifting
Description: Finally!!! You have an opportunity to work on a new project with a popular technological stack you have been hearing about and been dreaming of… Kotlin, reactive programming, microservices…
But are YOU truly ready for it?
Without genuinely understanding the concepts behind the new technology, you might end up robbing yourself of all the benefits it brings and perhaps even wish you have never switched to it.
So let’s talk about the importance of adapting your mindset and how it might look like if developers bring their “old” way of thinking to a new project with a few practical examples from java developers switching to Kotlin
