Episode 94

A little break from API design series, to share some news. I was again invited to be a media partner of JDD – a Java conference that will take place at Nowohuckie Centrum Kultury in Cracow, on October 8-9th. As a result, I will have for all of you not only a 15% discount code but also one entirely free invite. If you are curious about last year’s details, have a look at what was going on day one and day two.

What new at JDD this year?

Episode 84

As mentioned in episode 82, I was recently invited to attend JDD conference in Kraków, and make a little bit of noise on social media and my blog alongside. We had pre-noise, it’s time to transition to post-noise otherwise known as the conference report.

Quick facts: Kraków Expo building, two days, four concurrent tracks, around a thousand people from Java world, marvelous after-party and overall lots of fun. The weather kinda sucked, but what can you do. Upon arriving, the girl at the reception ringed me with a black bracelet and gave me a quick briefing for speakers. Actually, I was there to write, not to speak, so let’s get to the first important part: the talks.

Tomasz Kleszczyński: Kotlin for Java developers

I haven’t seen Kotlin before, so I’ve decided it’s time to take a look at the offspring of IntelliJ IDEA’s creators. Especially, since it’s now one of official languages for Android, as well as one of languages supported by Spring 5. Tomek went through Read the rest of this entry »
