ConFoo 2016 took place 24-26 February in Montreal, Canada. To my knowledge it is the largest developer conference north of the border. The conference has roots in PHP, but has been making an effort to better attract a Java audience hence it was important for me to support the conference. If you are a Canadian Java developer, I would consider adding ConFoo to your radar as a more convenient (and possibly cheaper) event to go to in order to stay up-to-date. Topics covered included PHP, Ruby, Python, methodology, usability, JavaScript/HTML5, mobile, cloud, big data, DevOps, NoSQL, Java and .NET.
I delivered sessions on developing practical microservices with Java EE as well as aligning Java EE with Reactive programming. More details on the sessions and ConFoo 2016, including slide decks, videos and code, posted on my personal blog.
