15th Wrocław JUG Birthday! - Dr. Venkat Subramaniam && Piotr Przybył

Decision Dials - Dr. Venkat Subramaniam

Whether you are a programmer, a lead, an architect, a technical manager, or just a nice simple human being your day starts and ends with making decisions. It involves making many small decisions and may involve making some big ones too. In this keynote we will talk about the art of decision making, the consequences of the choices we make, and tie that into the everyday architecture and design of enterprise systems.

15 years of our Java (User Group) - Piotr Przybył

"Java is slow, don't you know?" they say.

If I was given one dollar every time I hear this, today I'd have at least a free coffee. Java used to be slow not only to start, but also to develop systems and relese new features. Slow, slow, slow.

What if they called us back from 2009, because they want their joke back?

Let me take you to a journey starting 15 years years ago, so we can recap these years, introduced features, improvements, born and abandoned frameworks, and the chase for better Java. Who knows what we'll be able to find?
