Java is moving faster and faster. A lot of features are not as known as they should be.
Let’s review together the old ones you missed.
Then show you the ones you never had time to look at in 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13.
And go crazy to check how it’s implemented under the hood (yes, there will be bytecode).
A quick introduction about everything that's new in Java 11. Includes API changes, language changes and new tools in the JDK.
Demo's for this presentation can be found here: https://github.com/MichelSchudel/java11demo
Java 9 introduces modules to the Java programming language and its runtime. Despite this feature being optional, due to the modularization of the standard library existing applications might behave differently when running on a version 9 JVM. Furthermore, because of changes in the runtime, existing libraries and frameworks might not yet correctly process your modularized code. As a result, updating to a Java 9 VM and taking Java 9 into brings its challanges.
This talk discusses the practical implications of module boundaries and analyzes new limitations Java 9 imposes on the reflection API. This talk explains how reflection is used in popular frameworks like Spring and Hibernate and explains why existing applications might break or change their behavior when facing modularized code. Finally, this talk showcases alternatives to now failing Java programming patterns and weights their robustness with regard to the Java releases 10 and upward.
The presenter is an active contributor to open source and helped to migrate many popular Java libraries to supporting Java 9. As a consequence, he as been working with Java 9 for almost two years.

This session, delivered at Devoxx Poland, covers all the major changes to the Java platform between JDK 12 and JDK 17. All language features are covered, as well as many of the important API changes.
With its ninth version, the Java platform has shifted gear and introduced biyearly releases. This was followed by a license change where Oracle, the steward of Java, now publishes a commercial and a non-commercial release of the Java virtual machine while other vendors took more space to promote their alternative builds of the OpenJDK. And in another flood of news, the Java EE specification was terminated and resolved into the Jakarta EE namespace.
A lot has been happening in the traditionally conservative Java ecosystem, to say the least, and many users are wondering if they still can rely on the platform. This talk gives an overview of the Java ecosystem, summarizes the changes that have been, that to expect and why the evolution of the platform is good news to the community.
Let us explore Java 8 features and start using it in your day to day work. You will be surprised how Java has evolved to become so different yet easy & powerful. In this presentation, we discuss Java 8 Stream API.
There is an increasing interest in functional programming from Java developers and the organisations in which they work. For many companies the challenge now is how to make use of the competitive advantage of functional programming. For developers, how do you adapt your mindset to this newly reimagined paradigm? Through the use of examples and a modular approach to design, Clojure made simple will show how developers can be productive quickly without a major change to their current development life-cycle. We will also cover the Clojure build process, tools and exciting projects out there.

This introduction to Clojure was given to the Utah Java Users Group Aug. 15. It's main focus was on Clojure's time model and how the design of Clojure separates (decomplects) many concepts which are all implemented onto of Objects in Java, and other OO languages. This is the abstract for the original talk:
Tony Hoare famously said "There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." Clojure is a functional Lisp that targets, among other platforms, the JVM and strives to enable the former approach to building software.
In its pursuit of simplicity Clojure encourages the use of pure functions, sequence abstractions which allow for lazy and parallel processing of data, persistent (immutable) data structures, and a novel way of dealing with state as a succession of values. While these concepts may sound intimidating for those unfamiliar with functional programming, they are actually less complicated than many programming constructs that programmers use everyday.
This talk will cover these concepts and the motivation behind them. You will learn the basics of Clojure programming and will be given a taste of what developing an application in Clojure is like.

DevNexus 2018: Learn Java 8, lambdas and functional programmingHenri Tremblay
This session walks through tons of examples in live coding. You will learn everything you need to know about lambdas and functional programming in Java 8. I’m the supplier. You’re the consumer (and you will get the joke after the session).
Rapid application development techniques, favoring rapid prototyping over intensive planning, have become popular in the last few years. Although the "old-school" Java Web frameworks (such as Struts and JSF) are well suited for enterprise projects, their development cycle is often too slow and complicated for prototyping. Due to their nature, dynamic languages such as Ruby, Python, and Groovy are natural for fast prototyping and scaffolding. But is there a way to benefit the Java ecosystem without compromising simplicity and productivity? This presentation tries to answer this question by comparing, head-to-head, three leading Java RAD tools—SeamForge, Play, and Roo—by writing a full-blown Web application in each of them, comparing the pros and cons along the way.
Inside the JVM - Follow the white rabbit! / Breizh JUGSylvain Wallez
Presentation given at the Rennes (FR) Java User Group in Feb 2019.
How do we go from your Java code to the CPU assembly that actually runs it? Using high level constructs has made us forget what happens behind the scenes, which is however key to write efficient code.
Starting from a few lines of Java, we explore the different layers that constribute to running your code: JRE, byte code, structure of the OpenJDK virtual machine, HotSpot, intrinsic methds, benchmarking.
An introductory presentation to these low-level concerns, based on the practical use case of optimizing 6 lines of code, so that hopefully you to want to explore further!

JDD 2016 - Grzegorz Rozniecki - Java 8 What Could Possibly Go WrongPROIDEA
It’s late 2016, so you probably have been using Java 8 goodies for a while: lambdas, Stream, Optional, new date API ‒ stuff which makes Java development much more pleasant. But the question is: do you know these tools well? I bet you said yes, because writing sweet Java 8 code is piece of cake ‒ you’re using efficient, parallel streams and many lambdas, so what could possibly go wrong? Let me put this straight: most probably you’re doing something wrong. In this talk I won’t actually try to prove that you don’t know what you’re doing, on the contrary ‒ I’ll try to help you be a better programmer by pointing out few mistakes you can make when writing Java 8 code (I know that because I made them all). I’ll also discuss couple common misconceptions regarding Stream and Optional and mention missing language features (also if there is a chance to see them in Java 9 or what library should you use instead). Last but not least, I’ll present you a number of lesser-known gems I found in deepest corners of JDK API, which, I hope, will make your life as a software developer a little bit easier.

Être pragmatique en développement logiciel est plus rare que l'on pourrait penser. J'ai vu toutes sortes d'aberrations à travers les années. Des architectes, des analystes, des développeurs faisant et croyant des choses qui ne font simplement aucun sens dans aucune dimension.
À partir d'exemples tirés de mon expérience, je vais vous enseigner quelques trucs pour être vraiment pragmatique. Ceci va vous permettre d'avoir les bons réflexes face à une décision. Pour rapidement développer des logiciels que les gens veulent utiliser. Que vous soyez gestionnaire ou développeur, vous devriez y trouver votre compte.
Do you know your mock? - Madras JUG 20171028Henri Tremblay
An important pillar of unit tests is the Mock Object, also known as Test Doubles. They come in many types and flavours. Together, we will name them and demonstrate them using EasyMock and Mockito.
Source code: https://github.com/henri-tremblay/mocks
Be pragmatic in software development is rarer than one would expect or hope. I've seen all sorts of craziness throughout the years. Architects, analysts and developers doing and believing things that simply made no sense in any worlds.
Using examples from my experience, I will teach you tricks to really be pragmatic. This will allow you to quickly develop software that people really want to use. Whether you are a manager or a developer, you should find it useful.

Java 8, lambdas, generics: How to survive? - NYC Java Meetup GroupHenri Tremblay
Lambdas are sexy. But they are adding complexity. Mixed with generics, it creates a dangerous cocktail. Together, we will start from the bottom of generics and go straight through lambda inference. To explain why it is the way it is and tell you how to survive.
Generics and Lambdas cocktail explained - Montreal JUGHenri Tremblay
We are in 2015 and Java 8 will slowly but surely become the new standard. Our world will be filled with lambdas. Generics, for themselves, have appeared in 2004. They brought benefits and complexity. Enough to blow up the complexity quota of Java according to Josh Bloch.
But lambdas, whatever are sexy they are, are going to add even more complexity. Mix with generics your now playing with nitroglycerin.
We will travel together through the bottom of the generics, through inference and through lambdas type resolution. To explain why. To provide solutions. To ease Java 8 adoption.

La programmation parallèle est désormais une incontournable solution aux problèmes de performance. Ce n'est pas la seule, mais elle ne peut être ignorée. Les nombreux coeurs et CPUs qui peuplent nos serveurs en sont la preuve.
Elle peut aussi s'utiliser plus souvent qu'on pourrait le penser. Que ce soit pour diminuer les temps de réponse ou augmenter le débit.
Nous vous proposons un état des lieux. Quels sont les usages? Quel est le degré de facilité? Comment se prémunir de la complexité? CPU ou GPU?
À l'aide d'exemples de code, tout ce qui est nécessaire de mettre dans le cartable du développeur vivant dans l'air du temps.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Auto Closeable
Before
InputStream in = new FileInputStream("allo.txt");
try {
// … do stuff
} finally {
try { in.close(); } catch(IOException e) {}
}
After
try(InputStream in = new FileInputStream("allo.txt")) {
// … do stuff
}

Auto Closeable
Real code you should do
InputStream in = new FileInputStream("allo.txt");
try {
// … do stuff
in.close();
} catch(IOException e) {
try {
in.close();
} catch(IOException e1) {
e.addSuppressed(e1);
}
throw e;

JAVA 8: LAMBDA!
(and also a new date API, default methods, metaspace, Nashorn,
JavaFX and CompletableFuture)
30. 30
Date / Time API
Core ideas:
Immutable
A time is a time, a date is a date. Not always both (like java.util.Date)
Not everyone uses the same calendar (the same Chronology)
LocalDate, LocalTime, LocalDateTime Local. No time zone
OffsetDateTime, OffsetTime Time with an offset from
Greenwich
ZonedDateTime LocalDateTime with a time zone
Duration, Period Time span
Instant Timestamp
Formatting Easy and thread-safe formatting
31. 31
Date / Time API (example)
LocalDateTime now = LocalDateTime.now();
String thatSpecialDay = now
.withDayOfMonth(1)
.atZone(ZoneId.of("Europe/Paris"))
.plus(Duration.ofDays(5))
.format(DateTimeFormatter.ISO_ZONED_DATE_TIME);
System.out.println(thatSpecialDay);
Output
2016-09-06T17:45:22.488+01:00[Europe/Paris]
