JPoint 2018 Java Free Opencast Broadcast

On April 6-7, that is, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, JPoint 2018 will be held - an international Java conference for experienced Java developers. We wrote about the program of this conference more than once or twice .

We analyzed a set of the most relevant topics (performance and engine compartment hardcore, Spring and bloody enterprise, new frameworks and JVM languages ​​and so on - a huge list), and for each topic we tried to find at least one good report. JPoint is held within two days, there will be about forty reports, so all the main issues will be highlighted one way or another.

A year ago, we started making open free broadcasts and decided to support the tradition this time too. All keynotes and all reports from the first hall will be available for viewing. I’ll tell you a few words about what will happen there.

Keynotes are stellar speakers:

• Juergen Hoeller (the most important person in Spring, after Rod Johnson left) will talk about launching Spring on recent versions of Java;
• Mikhail Gelfand from the Higher School of Economics will talk about big data in modern biology;
• Baruch Sadogursky and Yevgeny Borisov (Spring Ripper) will present an unusual report and, in the roles of Holmes and Watson, will reveal several puzzles that you have encountered, have, or will encounter in everyday development.

The first track got pretty tough. It has just one smoothie talk, and that one is about the right architecture using the latest versions of Java.

Almost all of the keynotes will gather on this track.

• Juergen Hoeller talks about the coolest Spring 5 features, including functional and reactive programming;
• Baruch together with Viktor Gamov will talk about the fight against Russian Hackers using the Kafka Streams and Firehose API (what else to expect from the report in which Gamow passes as an accomplice?);
• Evgeny Borisov together with Kirill Tolkachev will hold a huge powerful report about Spring Boot - it will take 2 slots, that is, two hours with a short break.

The remaining reports are no less good.

• Nikita Koval will talk about a rather hardcore topic about optimization with the help of hardware transactional memory in new processors.
• Alexei Kudryavtsev from JetBrains will talk about tools for static and dynamic code analysis.
• Sander Mak and Rabea Gransberger will tell two complementary stories about the use of modules - both about the design of new systems, and about refactoring existing ones.

In addition, especially for participants in the online broadcast, in between reports, interviews with speakers will be conducted. The exact list is being formed right now, but it can be assumed that David Delabassee, Sander Mak, Rabea Gransberger, Sanhong Li, Andrey Breslav, Anton Arkhipov, Roman Elizarov, Andrey Kogun, Dmitry Zhemerov, Victor Gamov, Alexey Zinoviev, will be in our studio. Uglyansky, Nikita Koval, Kirill Tolkachev and maybe someone else.

Summing up, the free broadcast consists of keynotes, hardcore, two practical reports about modules and one smoothie about architecture. Yes, if you came live to the conference - you will find three more additional tracks and their videos at the end of the conference. But even the open broadcast program is a very high-quality, logically completed and complete event. All this is available free, for free, in good quality on YouTube. We are waiting for you at JPoint - both live and online!
