All hipsters know that asynchronous non-blocking code is the only way. But what does that really mean? There are many ways of writing concurrent Java applications. All with different trade-offs. We wanted to find out what the best approach or approaches were, so we tried the all, so you won’t …
This session discusses some of the most common vulnerabilities found in Java apps. It breaks them down and shows how simple code can exploit them. We’ll look at examples in the wild that have been exposed, some more famously than others, before showing you how to guard against these important …
The Java Core Libraries are mature, well-understood and loved, but don’t you always run into corner cases where they don’t work so well? In this talk, which is entirely live-coded, you will learn key updates and improvements that you’ll get to enjoy in the next exciting version of Java: Java …
Being a popular object-oriented programming language, computer scientists have consistently searched for ways to optimize and improve Java performance utilizing a variety of methods. Methods including the Just-in-time compilation, the garbage collection system, and adaptive optimizing have increased Java performance by reclaiming unneeded memory and optimizing areas of frequently executed …
JUnit5 (JUnit Lambda) is a project to update the de facto standard tool in Java unit testing. This session describes how the JUnit framework has evolved to enable the modern features of the JVM as well as the underlying architectural changes that make JUnit5 ready for the modern era of …
While Java application architectures are evolving to become stateless, application state and state management are naturally emerging as a service that can be hosted in the Cloud. This session outlines the development, operation, and maintenance of an application state service for the Cloud with Java 9, using a serverless strategy.
