2015 April Meeting: Double Header with Venkat Subramaniam - 'Transforming to Java 8' and 'Core Software Design Principles'

The new facilities in Java 8 is about the change the way we write code. Our code will become more expressive and concise. But, exactly how? In this presentation we will take several common Java code examples, discuss the core idea expressed in code, and transform that code to use the facilities in Java 8. Watch and interact as you see Java code go through a weight loss program right in front of your eyes.

Creating code is easy, creating good code takes a lot of time, effort, discipline, and commitment. The code we create are truly the manifestations of our designs. Creating a lightweight design can help make the code more extensible and reusable. In this presentation we will take an example oriented approach to look at some core design principles that can help us create better design and more maintainable code. Pizza and drinks will be provided between the 2 sessions. Also, one lucky attendee from each session will win a $25 Amazon gift card. Stay for both sessions and double your chances of wining.
