Voxxed Days Istanbul 2015 was held on May 9th. This was the first large scale independent Java focused conference ever to be held in Turkey. It attracted some of the best and brightest in the Java ecosystem including Gavin King and Arun Gupta not to mention local Java luminaries like Cagatay Civici (PrimeFaces lead) and Murat Yener (Java Champion). Topics included Java SE, mobile, NoSQL, methodology and of course Java EE. Indeed Java EE had a fairly strong presence at the event. I feel very privileged to be invited to this inaugural event. While in Turkey I am very happy to say I also spoke at two of the largest Java user groups in Turkey - the Ankara JUG as well as the Istanbul JUG.
At Voxxed Days I delivered talks on WebLogic, Java EE 8 and DDD/CargoTracker + Java EE. Others covered topics such as microservices + Java EE, Docker + Java EE, JSF and WildFly. At the Ankara and Istanbul JUGs I delivered demo driven workshops on Java EE 7. More details on the sessions and the trip to Turkey, including slide decks and code, posted on my personal blog.
