Pragmatic Real-World Scala

Jonas Bonér, Triental

In this talk we will give you an introduction to Scala from a Java/JEE and real-world perspective. How to make effective use of Scala's richer OO abstractions and type system to create more flexible and reusable components and systems. How to take advantage of Scala's FP nature for more clean, safe, conceptually coherent and deterministic code.

Meet Puke!

Tomas Trolltoft, Ola Berg, IBS JavaSolutions

But fear no more, we say! Meet Puke, the street-wise coding cousin of good ol' Duke. She doesn't care what the others think. Instead, she knows that beautiful code is code that works for the customer, and that there is no orthodox way to that working code, only ways that cost more and ways that cost less. Some say Puke is a threat to quality.

Controlling Your Architecture

Magnus Robertsson, Jayway

Agile architectures is a key ingredient to create systems that will last over a long period of time, but how do we achieve them? This presentation will show you how to control your architecture with common tools and some clever code to create solid and help you achieve long lasting systems.

Faster Java, the VM perspective

Nils Eliasson, JRocket

The time when Java could be considered slow is long gone. This presentation gives you a quick look at what is going on behind the scenes - how the JVM transforms your Java code into machine code, and the tricks and techniques employed to squeeze the maximum performance out of it.
