J Forum
You're invited to the free J Forum featuring keynotes by Holly Cummins, Ben Evans, Heather VanCura and Martijn Verburg.
After 25 years, is there anything new left to say about Java? Of course!
While doomsayers have been predicting the language's decline for years, Java still ranks as one of the top 5 most popular languages in the world (where in that top 5, depends on who1 you2 ask3). Not bad for a programming language that predates WiFi.
Ahead of this September's release of Java 19, join us as we welcome Holly Cummins, Ben Evans, Heather VanCura and Martijn Verburg for 4 keynotes exploring the current state of the Java ecosystem.
Register for free above and you'll be amongst the first to hear about updates on the schedule.

The Diabolical Developer shares some of the latest research from the Java Engineering Group at Microsoft and some of the lessons they've applied running Java at HyperScale (Yes, Buzzword!). Relying G1 as a default GC in your container? Maybe it's time to rethink that! Don't have at least 1000 millicores for your process? Hmmm. This talk is for those who want to understand when to scale out, scale up and how to start performance investigations into your Java service to help it run better on containers and in the cloud.

To realise the promise of microservices, individual services must be independently deployable, and they should be deployed often. But that’s easier said than done. Releases take confidence. How does a business achieve enough confidence to release often without getting bogged down in manual QA bottlenecks? Is automating tests too expensive? How do services know if they’ve made a breaking change? If the individual microservices all work, does that mean the system works? This talk will discuss microservices testing strategies and explore some of the modern tools which make testing easier and better. And there’s a demo: Holly will show Pact contract testing, test containers, and Quarkus’s continuous testing and dev services support.

Java has adapted to business needs and remains relevant and popular. In this session we look at recent programs developed in the community and enhancements to the Java language. We will also provide resources to help you get more involved in the evolution of Java, learn Java, and explore how you can contribute to the Java community. Find out how to contribute and stay informed and adopt new versions of Java as they are released, and how participating in open source projects, and joining your local Java User Group builds your network and may eventually lead to better career opportunities.
