You read the posts in our blog and think: "Who needs them, I do not go to the conference." And you do not go to the conference because you want to learn some specific things, and not just increase your horizons. Yes, for someone it makes sense! Not only you think so.

Especially for you, we did something completely different. A couple of days before Joker, two full-scale training sessions will be held. Each training is two days for 6-8 hours of dense training in specific things. Groups are small, so the coach works with you personally - he tells, gives tasks, looks at how you carry them out, prompts.

Spring will be taught by a man you all know - Yevgeny Borisov, one of the best specialists on Spring outside Pivotal. Java application profiling will be taught by Aleksey Ragozin, an engineer and trainer who has over 10 years of experience in the development of highly loaded distributed systems in various industries.

More information about these trainings can be read under the cut.

The illustration is a typical Spring template. Just in case you haven’t seen it for a long time.

Spring ripper

You can walk, you can take a taxi, you can pass on the right and drive the car yourself, but the one who understands what is going on under the hood has maximum control.

This training will help you go from a pedestrian to a mechanic racer. We will learn not only to use Spring, but also to expand its capabilities, and for this we will have to crawl deep under the hood. Let's talk about all the main components of Spring, discuss different kinds of contexts and their conglomerates, consider integrating Spring with other popular technologies, such as Hibernate, web, security, validation.

The training will be as practical as possible. A lot of code will be written live. It will be fun, harsh, but as clear as possible.

Efficient Java application profiling

In practice, tasks that require the use of a profiler happen at very critical times for business, when there are not so many rights to make mistakes. Therefore, developers usually do not have the opportunity to learn how to effectively own this tool on their own experience. Of course, the exception is the special performance engineers involved in profiling all the working hours - but even they need to learn from each other.

However, the effective use of the profiler in a critical situation can dramatically reduce the time to solve a problem (from weeks and months to a few days), and sometimes decide the fate of the entire project. Profiling needed.

This training gives the developer the key knowledge and skills to effectively use the profiler in their work and allows you to fill the skills gap described above.

It will be useful to Java-developers and Java-architects (all levels of training), Big Data-engineers and SRE (Site Reliability Engineer).
