Conferences in May
Last updated: July 12, 2018
Mocking is an essential part of unit testing, and the Mockito library makes it easy to write clean and intuitive unit tests for your Java code.
Get started with mocking and improve your application tests using our Mockito guide:
Handling concurrency in an application can be a tricky process with many potential pitfalls. A solid grasp of the fundamentals will go a long way to help minimize these issues.
Get started with understanding multi-threaded applications with our Java Concurrency guide:
Spring 5 added support for reactive programming with the Spring WebFlux module, which has been improved upon ever since. Get started with the Reactor project basics and reactive programming in Spring Boot:
Since its introduction in Java 8, the Stream API has become a staple of Java development. The basic operations like iterating, filtering, mapping sequences of elements are deceptively simple to use.
But these can also be overused and fall into some common pitfalls.
To get a better understanding on how Streams work and how to combine them with other language features, check out our guide to Java Streams:
Explore Spring Boot 3 and Spring 6 in-depth through building a full REST API with the framework:
Yes, Spring Security can be complex, from the more advanced functionality within the Core to the deep OAuth support in the framework.
I built the security material as two full courses - Core and OAuth, to get practical with these more complex scenarios. We explore when and how to use each feature and code through it on the backing project.
You can explore the course here:
Spring Data JPA is a great way to handle the complexity of JPA with the powerful simplicity of Spring Boot.
Get started with Spring Data JPA through the guided reference course:
Refactor Java code safely — and automatically — with OpenRewrite.
Refactoring big codebases by hand is slow, risky, and easy to put off. That’s where OpenRewrite comes in. The open-source framework for large-scale, automated code transformations helps teams modernize safely and consistently.
Each month, the creators and maintainers of OpenRewrite at Moderne run live, hands-on training sessions — one for newcomers and one for experienced users. You’ll see how recipes work, how to apply them across projects, and how to modernize code with confidence.
Join the next session, bring your questions, and learn how to automate the kind of work that usually eats your sprint time.
After reading the enthusiastic Join me at GeeCON article I was inspired to do a quick writeup about the conferences that are coming up in the month of May.
I’m super excited about May; first off, there’s GeeCON, starting on the 11th and wrapping up on the 13th and then SpringIO in Barcelona, on the 19 and the 20th.
Both of these are fantastic events with a lot of cool talks. But, beyond the talks, it’s the hallway track that I’m psyched about even more. Reading about “the community” in general simply doesn’t compare to being in a room with so many passionate developers.
So, if you’re planning to attend – and I definitely recommend you do – grab me and say hi.
Now, here are the talks I’m most excited about – first, from GeeCON:
– Cloud Native Java
– MDD: Metrics Driven Development
– Microservices. Stairway to heaven or highway to hell?
– Microservices tracing with Spring Cloud and Zipkin
– Beyond lambdas – the aftermath
– PrivateEye
– Creating Jenkins pipelines with groovy-based DSL
– Take me on a journey – the next step in automated testing practices
– Building multiplayer game using Reactive Streams
– How to Think, in RxJava, Before Reacting
– Twelve BDD Antipatterns – stories from the trenches about how NOT to do BDD
– Every millisecond counts
– Better living through pull requests
And from SpringIO:
– From Spring Framework 4.3 to 5.0
– Designing Applications: The Reactive Way
– 10 ways to get super-productive with Spring Boot
– JUnit 5 – Shaping the Future of Testing on the JVM
– Understanding Microservice Performance
– Testing Spring Boot Applications
– What’s new in Spring Data?
– From Imperative To Reactive
– Test-driven documentation with Spring REST Docs
– Extending Spring Data
– Securing RESTful services with Spring HATEOAS and HDIV
A lot of cool stuff that’s going to have an impact over the work I’m going to be doing in 2016.
And of course I’m excited about my own presentations, so definitely join me for that as well.
Yeah, May is going to be fun.
