Every developer creating real-world applications will have to eventually troubleshoot code performance issues - sometimes even in Production systems. In this session we will show a couple of essential tools that every Java developer should know about and can use to gather detail performance metrics (CPU, Memory, Threads, Hot Methods, etc.). With the help of these tools you can get to the bottom of tough issues such as bottlenecks caused by locking and memory leaks. We will specifically cover Java Mission Control (JMC), and Eclipse Memory Analyzer Tool (MAT). Speakers: Bill Spens is Director of Software Development at Power Costs, Inc. (PCI); He has 10 years of experience troubleshooting Java and Oracle performance and currently focuses on improving processes and efficiency across many agile teams. John Chesser has been writing Java on the front and back end for 18 years. John focuses on keeping it simple. He has experience writing full systems from scratch and maintaining older systems for companies like Creative Labs Inc. and Powercosts Inc.

He's built complex systems using Java for Southwest Airlines, Power Costs Inc (PCI), and he's currently at Tango Analytics.

We will start by introducing the concept of reactive programming and how it can benefit, simplify, and streamline software development and deployment. Then we will dig into the Reactor implementation of this idea, and finally we will run some code to show reactive at work.

At the end of this month, Oracle is scheduled to release Java 11. In this session, we'll see what's new in the latest revision of the world's most popular programming language. We'll start with a rundown of features, including those added in Java 10 to get us to date, and end with examples of Java 11's additions. IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a scheduling conflict at StarSpace46, we will be meeting this month at Clevyr. Many thanks to Aaron Krauss for the hospitality!

One of the biggest hypes about Java 9 is the Java Platform Modular System (JPMS) or Project Jigsaw. Modules give us 3 core principals: Strong Encapsulation Stable Abstraction Explicit Dependencies In this talk we will discuss the history of JPMS, look at some of its core features and do some demos. Speaker Bio Brent Wilkins is a Senior Java Developer at Hobby Lobby, where he works on the HobbyLobby.com ecommerce website as a full-stack developer. Before that he spent 25 years in IT at The Hertz Corporation developing and architecting the full-stack Java platform for their US Rent-A-Car locations.

One of the many strengths of Kotlin is the ease with it allows us to write Domain Specific Languages. Perhaps you've seen Anko for Android, or maybe TornadoFX for JavaFX and gotten the itch to write your own, or maybe just wondered how its done. Wonder know more! In this session, we'll start from the beginning as we build Jerkey, Kotlin-based DSL for building Jersey applications (Jersey + Kotlin = Jerkey ;). We'll start by covering the basics you need to understand in order write a DSL. Next, we'll spec out how we want the DSL to look and work, and, finally, we'll implement it and in doing so demonstrate not only the power of Kotlin, but how well the Kotlin/Java interop really is by showing code paths bouncing between Java and Kotlin code. fun willBeHadByAll() { } Speaker Bio Jason Lee is a Senior Principal Software Engineer with Oracle, where he functions as his team's architect.
