We'll look into a number of great Kotlin features and frameworks that make the most out of Kotlin's expressiveness.
JEEConf 2017 - Having fun with JavassistAnton Arhipov
Javassist makes Java bytecode manipulation simple. At ZeroTurnaround we use Javassist a lot to implement the integrations for our tools.
In this talk we will go through the examples of how Javassist can be applied to alter the applications behavior and do all kind of fun stuff with it.
Why is it interesting? Because while trying to do unusual things in Java, you learn much more about the language and the platform itself and learning about Javassist will actually make you a better Java developer!
JEEConf 2017 - The hitchhiker’s guide to Java class reloadingAnton Arhipov
In Java, a typical workflow involves restarting the application (almost) with every class change. For some applications it is not a problem at all, for some – it is a disaster.
From HotSwap to agent-based reloading. In this session, we are going to take a look at the options available for Java class reloading. There is plenty of tools that you can use for this task: rely on standard JVM HotSwap, redesign your application to rely on dynamic class loaders, to comprehend the Zen of OSGi, or to integrate a reloading agent. Every option has its own drawbacks and benefits and we’re going to take a deep dive on the subject.
Finally, there are also the conceptual challenges in reloading Java classes. What to do with the state? What should happen with the static initialisers? What if super class changes? Join this session to gain a better understanding of class reloading technologies and become more productive Java developer.

Demystifying dependency Injection: Dagger and ToothpickDanny Preussler
Dependency Injection, that's the thing that Dagger2 does, right? For most of us, it's black magic. Let's look deeper how DI works. And then we better understand the frameworks that are out there. This session introduce Toothpick that was created this year and is already used by millions of users as driven a lot by engineers at Groupon.
What was their need? What's wrong with Dagger?
Toothpick was designed to bring goodies from Guice to modern mobile world. It focuses on scopes and unit testing without loosing performance as Roboguice did.
Step by step introduction to get unit testing, UI testing, mocking and continuous integration up and running for your Swift projects. These slides are from Agile Swift Meetup in Montreal.
Talk presented at Apache Con 2021 Groovy track.
Spock is a testing framework written in Groovy. I can confidently say that Spock is the best testing framework I ever used. The reason for this is the expressive specification language provided by the framework along with the productivity benefits offered by the Groovy language. Spock leverages the JUnit ecosystem and hence can co-exist with tests written in JUnit. In this presentation, we explore several features of Spock and understand how they add value to developers in terms of simplicity, readability, productivity, pragmatism.
We start by exploring the BDD style (given-when-then) structure of a Spock test and understand how it aids the developers to organise their thoughts and retain that clarity for the reader of the test as well. Then we move on to exploring the Spock way of writing assertions and understand the simplicity with which it provides expressive failure messages which aid in quick actionable feedback. Then we move on to realizing how Spock requires fewer tools and a smaller set of APIs to achieve functionalities such as mocking. In fact, Spock doesn't need an external library for mocking. In the final part of the presentation, we compare the approach of Spock in the areas of data-driven testing, ordering test cases, and co-existence with JUnit.
Android & Kotlin - The code awakens #01Omar Miatello
A series of 3 events for building apps with Kotlin on Android.
Introduction to Kotlin, a modern language, developed by JetBrains (those who developed the IDE on which is based Android Studio) that compared to Java is more concise, versatile and with better error handling. The code is 100% interoperable with Java, and can be used to write native Android apps or small component.
Droidcon Berlin 2021 - With coroutines being the de facto way of exposing async work and streams of changes for Kotlin on Android, developers are obviously attempting to use the same approaches when moving their code to Multiplatform.
But due to the way the memory model differs between JVM and Kotlin Native, it can be a painful experience.
In this talk, we will take a deep dive into the Coroutine API for Kotlin Multiplatform. You will learn how to expose your API with Coroutines while working with the Kotlin Native memory model instead of against it, and avoid the dragons along the way.

Dependency Injection for Android @ Ciklum speakers corner Kiev 29. May 2014First Tuesday Bergen
We are happy to invite you to the Speakers’ Corner today, on Thursday May 29, from 18.30 till 19.30 at SkyPoint to meet Thomas Vervik, Head of Development Bipper Communications who will talk on “How to save money on QA - Dependency Injection and automated testing on Android”
Thomas is Head of Development for Bipper Communications, and has been managing the company's team in Kiev since February 2012. Originally a seasoned Java server backend/frontend developer, he has the last two years started mobile development, first with HTML 5 and later Android.
Mobile development has since its birth around 2008 gone from simple apps to more complex enterprise similar software. The increase in size and complexity yields the need for structuring the code differently in order to handle the new complexity. The tools used to handle this complexity has been applied to server side development for years, but mobile development has been lagging behind.
But not anymore. New frameworks built on proven paradigms are emerging, and in this Speakers Corner we will introduce Dependency Injection for Android, the motivation for its use, and one of the implementations - Dagger. Dependency Injection has several advantages, but in this presentation we will focus on how it enables to write proper automated tests.

BOF2644 Developing Java EE 7 Scala appsPeter Pilgrim
Developing Java EE 7 Applications with Scala (CON2644)
*Speakers: Peter Pilgrim*
Abstract: 750 words
Scala is an alternative JVM language with both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. Scala development with the Java EE 7 platform is definitely possible and can be a pleasant experience. If you have uncertainty about how Scala can fit around the Java EE 7 platform, then this session aims to illustrate the huge benefit that Scala adoption can bring to the platform. Many other developers are taking advantage and the challenge of the JVM’s capability of being a vessel for multi-language programming. You no longer have to write every single project using Java, even if you like Lambdas experiences.
For the developer and engineering terms that feeling a little braver than usual, Scala is attractive as it is strongly typed and lets you set the gauge on how object oriented or how functional you want to be. You will learn how to reuse the annotations and creating Scala plain object safely and concisely.
This session will highlight and contrast the experience I had developing Scala solutions with Java EE, and there will be plenty of advice about using the functional programming features against the Java object oriented API.
See: http://www.oop-konferenz.de/oop2017/konferenz/konferenzprogramm/sessiondetails/action/detail/session/do-54/title/containerized-end-2-end-testing-automate-it.html
Setting up unit- and integration tests are tasks which developers have learned to deal. But testing UIs from the perspective of an end user is mostly still a challenge. The key question usually to answer is: How it is possible to make these end-2-end tests stable, scalable and reproducible? The upcoming container technologies bring the hope of managing and automating your UI tests as easily as your container deployment. A live demo will show how it is possible to test and monitor a web- or a rich-client application in a containerized Linux UI.
Target Audience: Architects, Developers, Tester, DevOps, Monitoring Teams
Prerequisites: none
Level: Practicing
Extended Abstract
The end-2-end test example will be demonstrated by the open source tools "Docker" and "Sakuli". The demo shows how to do a blackbox UI test of a complex application, which is build on purpose of the current microservice pattern. The results will be interpreted and visualized in the Jenkins CI build pipeline and we will take a look into the UI activity of the testing container during the test execution.
In an alternative scenario the previous build end-2-end tests will be executed with the objective to forward there results to a monitoring system like OMD Nagios. This use case makes it possible to continuously measure the runtime of different test execution steps and create alerts on broken thresholds. This approach enables a new perspective of monitoring. It is now possible to check constantly if the functionality of an application, like the user login or the search engine is up and running - not just the sever healthy state.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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).
