  Decrypting Tech Hype for the Busy Coder

Session Abstract

It seems like there is a new technology trend, development methodology, or deployment tool coming out every day and if you aren’t using it you are labeled as deprecated, legacy, or a technology dinosaur.  Come hear straight talk about the latest trends such as Blockchain, Chatbots, Serverless, CD pipelines, AI, and machine learning. In 45 minutes you will know more than your average redditor, and you can shut down tweet-driven development in your workplace once and for all.

 Java SE, Today and Tomorrow

Session Abstract

What’s new in Java today, and what’s coming to Java tomorrow? This session will review some of the recent enhancements made over the last year to the language and the platform, as well as offer a glimpse into some of the features in development that will continue to improve both developer productivity and program performance while retaining Java’s core values of readability, generality, and compatibility.

Session  Title

RetroPi Handheld Raspberry Pi Gaming Console

In this session I will walk you through how to build your own retro handheld console that is powered by Java, runs on a Raspberry Pi, and is printed on a 3D printer.  Some of the topics that we will cover along the journey include:

• Hacking Java on the Raspberry Pi
• Rigging input devices with Pi4J
• Insane performance tuning on the JVM
• Why your boss [or SO] needs to buy you a 3D printer!

And of course your retro gaming mettle will be put to the test, so make sure to dust off your old 8 and 16 bit consoles to prepare.

This presentation is about the most fun you can have while still legitimately calling this conference “work.”  In fact, I will hopefully inspire you to do your own creative “work” leveraging Java and Raspberry Pi to hack the real world.
