Presentations
Unveiling Kafka and Streaming
Kafka has captured mindshare in the data records streaming market, and in this presentation, we knock on its door and see what lies behind. What is the draw? What makes it an attractive addition? How does it compare to Message Queues and other message streaming services?
More Functional in Java with JavaSlang
Java 8 is pretty great, but mix in JavaSlang (now called Vavr) and get ready for some functional programming excitement.
Understanding JVM Futures
Starting with JDK 5, we have had Futures, and they mostly went ignored. Now with concurrency and reactive technology in demand, it is essential that we understand what futures are, and how to handle them and make use of their power in asynchronous systems.
Introduction to Reactive
Reactive is a the latest buzzword to consume our industry. This presentation distills and defines reactive systems, describe the difference between reactive architecture vs. reactive programming, describe common patterns, and demos the popular reactive JVM technologies like RXJava, and Akka.
Reactive Streaming with RXJava
ReactiveX is a set of Reactive Extensions developed by Netflix, and is developed for various programming languages, like Java, Scala, and Clojure. ReactiveX overhauls the observable design pattern to achieve reactive goals. This presentation will solely focus on the Java version of ReactiveX, RXJava.
