Hybrid Cloud Applications Built with Pure Openness

Emily Jiang
STSM, Cloud Native Architect and Advocate at IBM
Do you want your cloud native applications to work with hybrid cloud without vendor lock in?

Come to this session to learn the how! This session will prepare you to achieve your goal by introducing key open source technologies like Open Liberty, MicroProfile and Jakarta EE. We’ll investigate how these technologies can be integrated with cloud native infrastructure including Knative and developer environments to enable a rapid application development without vendor lock-in and prepare for the cloud deployment including Serverless enablement. The journey to the hybrid cloud and serverless is unlocked!

Java 11–21 Evolution

Mohamed Taman
Senior Solutions Architect at Nortal, Java Champion
Is Java a tired relic of the past that’s ready for the programming language museum, or is it still a vital weapon in every good developer’s arsenal? This session will examine the evolution of Java from 11 to 21 and the impactful features that make your life easier.

Java has been a powerful and widely used programming language for over two decades. Java has transformed the software development landscape and remains dominant in modern software development. With every year seeing new young pretenders to the crown emerge, is Java still relevant and worth learning in 2023? We will look at Java’s evolution and impact on software development to show why it matters more than ever.

Faster, greener, and happier- why Quarkus should be your next tech stack

Holly Cummins
Senior Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat
Java never went away, but it’s having a renaissance. After some initial teething pains on the cloud (too big, too slow, too hard to configure) a new breed of Java frameworks are changing everything.

In this talk, Holly will introduce Quarkus and then delve into some of the advanced features you might not know about. She’ll cover native binaries, what makes Quarkus super-fast running on the JVM, TDD with Quarkus, and Quarkus’s carbon footprint. The talk includes some theory (what underpins Quarkus’s surprising speed?) and also live demos (does Quarkus really start faster than a light bulb? What does an integration testing flow with Quarkus look like?)

The Keys to Developer Productivity: Collaborate and Innovate

Heather VanCura
Vice President, Community Engagement at Oracle
The Java developer community continues to evolve based on the collaboration and innovation, and this in turn is impacting their business.

The Java language evolutions and pivots are possible due to collaboration and innovation in the Java community ecosystem. And as a result, the Java innovation pipeline is stronger than it has ever been, and the collaboration is higher than ever before. A new release of Java, Java SE 21, came out in September, and so much was delivered in this new release, with over 15 Java Enhancement Proposals (JEP) via OpenJDK and the Java Community Process (JCP). Virtual threads, string templates, record patterns, pattern matching for switch, generations ZGC, structured concurrency, and more are included in Java 21. Work is already well underway for Java 22, to be released in March 2024, and there are many contributors working on projects in OpenJDK to deliver more innovation from projects such as Panama, Valhalla, Loom, Amber, ZGC, Leyden, and more. Learn how you can adopt the latest technology, innovate and contribute to the future evolution of the Java platform and ecosystem in this session.
