Presenter: Josh Long, Pivotal A brief (20 minute) interview with Josh Long doing some live hacking with Spring Boot, Spring MVC and Groovy. Check out the live hack - creating a simple, paramaterized RESTful service. Check out Josh as he struggles (and wins) versus a UK-layout to secure the service endpoints, adds basic monitoring and metrics, and accesses the remote service via SSH.

Speaker: Jon Brisbin Reactor is a succinct and powerful foundational library for building reactive, fastdata applications on the JVM. Although it is part of the Spring IO platform, the core Reactor libraries have no dependency on Spring. Above the core library, there's direct support for the Disruptor via the high-speed Processor abstraction which provides a Reactor API over the RingBuffer, first-class support for the high-performance JavaChronicle persistent message-passing library through the flexible PersistentQueue abstraction, first-class support for Groovy closures and @CompileStatic…

Speakers: Matt Stine Readers of Josh Bloch's "Effective Java" are sometimes perplexed when they reach Item #15: "Minimize Mutability." If we are to minimize mutability, then obviously we must maximize immutability. While all Java programmers utilize immutable objects every day (e.g. java.lang.String), when asked to create our own immutable classes, we often hesitate. However, if we push through this hesitation, we'll reap the benefits of simpler reasoning about program correctness, free thread safety, and other benefits. One of the primary issues faced by enterprise Java programmers seeking to…
