Overview

11th Oct — 09:00 — 09:45 Java for Cloud Natives

• In summary, the quote about where is JAVA nowadays was:

“Java is growing and expanding as companies mature over time”

• 5 things we learned from James Governor, RedMonk

Main ideas

1. We’re all foragers now: Now we have to build or configure our own tooling.

2. We need to invest in people: Use people’s brain, make them grow within the organization.

3. Open source is the new normal: Use and contribute to open source is the preferred development style.

4. Everyone should be using continuous integration in modern software development.

5. The tapas table metaphor --- Break your monolithic team into small teams to build great things. The number of frameworks in Java is growing at a fast rate.

About innovation

• How does innovation work?
  • The concept of Pioneers, Settlers and the Town Planners
  • A model for digital transformation

The quote to resume the session

“Code is not your competitive advantage.Your service offerings and data are the differentiator. Embrace open source”
