Presentations

Beginning Spark

Apache Spark is the fast data processing of large document stores and databases. Spark is highly distributed, optimized, and redundant for large clustering manipulation and aggregation.

Spark Streaming

Spark Streaming is one of the few additions that are available with Spark that uses its internal architecture and creates a Streaming processing framework to process data in real time.

The Java Sessions: Reactive API

Many have already seen what Reactive Streaming can do: RXJava, Akka Streams, Project Reactor. Now reactive streaming is a part of the canonical package for Java and now we can handle asynchronous pipelines with boundaries and make better well thought out applications

Java Serialization for Big Data

Serialization is important for anything Big Data. We need to send information over the wire and we need to do so efficiently. This core concept presentation covers various serialization techniques and libraries. That way you can use Akka, Kafka, Spark, and various MQs efficiently

Introduction to Vert.x

Vert.x is one of many reactive offerings on the JVM. Vert.x has everything for reactive to messaging, handlers for data, to even converters for other streaming frameworks like RX Java.

Grokking Generics

For those still grappling with Generics. This will be an attempt to clear the air about generics. What are wildcards? What is extends? What is super? What is covariance? What is contravariance? What is invariance? What is erasure? Why and when do I need this?
