Track: Back to Java
Location:
- Fleming, 3rd flr.
Day of week:
- Monday
Back to Java is a forward looking track which examines some of the hardest problems Java developers hit when working with huge scale performance sensitive systems like those at Apple and LMAX. We’ll look at how these companies are tackling some of these problems, and what Java 9 and Spring 5 brings to the table.

Co-founder and project lead of the Spring Framework
The Spring team is busily working on Spring Framework 5.0, with a release candidate scheduled for Q4 2016. This presentation covers the key themes in Spring 5, based on the current state of development: going Java 8+ across the entire framework codebase, comprehensive support for JDK 9, a strong focus on HTTP/2, and first-class support for Spring-style reactive architectures.

Deputy CTO @Azul
Project Jigsaw will bring modularity to the Java platform; something that will enable better security, performance and flexibility for deployment of applications. This talk will look at the fundamentals of how modularity in Java will work. Developers will need to understand that these changes go significantly further than just separating the standard class libraries into a number of discrete units.
This talk will explain the impact project Jigsaw will have on developers in terms of...

Senior Developer @LMAX
What is the JVM warm-up problem, and how does it affect our software? How can we aid the runtime in optimising our programs, and is it even a good idea to do so?
This presentation explores the lifecycle of Java code, and how the JVM evolves the runtime representation of code during program execution. From bytecode to assembly and back again (via some uncommon traps), we will cover practical tips on ensuring that Java code is running fast when it matters most.

Led the performance effort for Java's G1 Garbage Collector
This is a G1 readiness session. In this session, attendees will learn more about G1 pause (young and mixed) composition, G1's remembered sets and collection set and G1's concurrent marking algorithm. The speaker will also cover performance tuning advice for "taming" mixed collections and evacuation failures.
