JMaghreb 2014 was held on November 4-6. Organized by the Morocco JUG, JMaghreb is one of the largest Java developer conferences in North Africa. This was yet another brilliant year for the conference. Speakers included Patrick Curran, Werner Keil, Johan Vos, Mohamed Taman, Hazem Saleh, Paul Bakker, Romain Manni-Bucau, Abdelmonaim Remani, Simon Ritter, Angela Caicedo and Mike Milinkovich. Topics included Java SE, Java EE, JavaFX, HTML5/JavaScript, mobile, NoSQL, OSGi, Big Data and the cloud. I am extremely grateful that the organizers invited me and very glad that I was able to accept.

I delivered talks on open standards/the JCP, aligning the JavaScript ecosystem with Java EE 7, aligning Java EE with Reactive Programming and Java EE 8. More details on the sessions and JMaghreb, including the slide decks and code, posted on my personal blog.
