JPoint 2018 plans

An international JPoint Java conference will take place in Moscow soon, so it's time to decide on the reports that are worth going to. The story will be about the reports that I personally will go to and why.

I earn by developing Java applications since 2012. I mainly solve the problems of systems integration and project management, participated in several dozens of projects, I know firsthand about the development of web services, desktop and web applications.

JPoint has 4 threads , and choosing the most relevant topics is not that easy. This is what I came to:

Day 1

Day 2

Reports "Idiom Kotlin: from formatting to DSL", "Kotlin DSL: theory and practice"

To tell the truth, I haven’t even touched Kotlin yet. In the annotations to the reports they say that Kotlin is easy to create new DSL. And the presence of Koplin and Java interop gives a lot of opportunities to solve problems using the DSL approach : instead of the good old Java in large quantities there will be elegant constructions in the perfect language invented by you.

That developer who does not test the applications is bad. The second report is remarkable in that it is about the practical application of Kotlin and DSL to improve testing. To consolidate the material of the first report.

Report "How to make a profiler built into the JVM that is not afraid of AOT compilation?"

I have been using Excelsior JET for several years already, since version 8.0. The good news is that the product is constantly evolving, for example, in version 11, the build process has improved greatly with the advent of the Maven plug-in . I will assume that the report will deal with Profile-Guided Optimization , which appeared in version 12 in the Enterprise and Embedded editions. Anyway, a very interesting question is how to effectively use the Excelsior JET tools available to improve application performance. How important is the same test run, for example.

Report "Program Analysis: How to Understand You're a Good Programmer"

Hardcore report on algorithms and code analysis tools. In addition, from the great speaker Alexei Kudryavtsev. What could be better?

Report "Boot yourself, Spring is coming"

I use Spring and Spring Boot not so long ago. Until now, most of the projects in Java EE. Spring Boot is about improving the code, and there is a strong need to figure it all out. And here is a double report from Spring experts. I'm coming!

Report "Designing for modularity with Java modules"

I'm still on Java 8, which means the modules and other buns have not yet been mastered. The talk is about Java 9 modules and how the code gets better with them. It will be very useful for immersion in technology. I think it's worth going.

Presentations "Graal, Value Types, Loom and other nishtyaki: what it is and why it is needed for the mere mortal", "Spring Framework 5: feature highlights and hidden gems"

Looking at the rapidly changing numbers - Java 10 came out, on the approach of Spring 5.1 - you think that Java technologies are developing very quickly. And there is. Although launching into production is still not soon, it is necessary to study now.

What is in breaks?

In addition to the reports themselves, the JPoint conference is good because it provides opportunities for communication with experts. You can always discuss your questions immediately after the report or in the discussion area. It is only necessary to seize the moment in the breaks between reports.

For me, this JPoint conference will be the 4th. I hope the organizers and speakers will be on top, as always!

PS: The post was written under the impression of the JPoint conference program to help participants and organizers and with the support of JUG.ru.
