The Great Indian Developer Summit (GIDS) 2015 was held on April 21-24 in Bangalore, with a follow-on GIDS.Mini held on April 25 in Hyderabad. GIDS is very easily the largest and most significant developer event in South Asia. Perhaps reflecting global demographic shifts in software development, GIDS may also now have become one of the largest developer conferences in the world. It was truly a privilege to be able to speak at the event and I am even more fortunate to have had a number of Java EE sessions there. While in India I am very happy to say I spoke at a couple of entirely community driven JUG events at the Madras JUG (Chennai) and the Hyderabad JUG before and after GIDS.
At GIDS and GIDS.Mini I delivered talks on JavaScript/HTML 5 + Java EE, Reactive + Java EE and DDD/CargoTracker + Java EE. The Madras JUG hosted multiple talks on the same day before GIDS. I delivered talks on the JCP, open standards and Java EE, Java EE 8 as well as Microservices + Java EE at the Madras JUG. The Hyderabad JUG hosted the official Java EE 7 Hands-on-Lab as a full day workshop after GIDS.Mini. More details on the sessions and the trip to India, including slide decks and code, posted on my personal blog.
