War Story: moving from Java to Kotlin

Urs Peter
In this talk, Urs Peter will reveal his journey with his current client to move from Java to Kotlin. Based on his real-world findings, code statistics, and many code samples, he will shed light on questions like ‘What were the benefits and drawbacks?’, ‘How did we approach it?’ …and most of all: ‘Was it worth it and why?’ Finally, he will share his findings and best practices he learned along the way, providing you with the information and tools to evaluate whether Kotlin is worth a try.

Cooking your Ravioli “al dente” with Hexagonal Architecture

Jeroen Rosenberg
Hexagonal architecture (a.k.a. ports and adapters) is a fancy name for designing your application in a way that the core domain is separated from the outside world by input and output ports. With a little bit of imagination one can visualise this as a hexagon made up of domain objects, use cases that operate on them, and input and output ports that provide an interface to the outside world.

Finally: Reactive Programming without the headache made possible with SpringBoot & Kotlin

Urs Peter
Reactive programming is around for quite some time now. Its benefits are tremendous, offering way better resource usage than traditional blocking Threading, Parallelism, and Streaming. Nevertheless, the learning curve for reactive libraries - like RxJava, Reactor, Vert.X, Akka - is still considerably steep and requires mastery of several layers of complex abstractions. Should you think: “why is that so hard? Can the same goal not be achieved simpler?” then this talk can be a revelation for you!

The state of JS build tools

Tjin Au Yeung
A new generation of build tools has emerged in recent years. In this session we’ll discuss:
  • Esbuild — Speedy builds achieved by unshackling ourselves from the notion that JS tools need to be written in JS. Written in Go.
  • Vite — A build tool by creator of Vue with focus on developer ergonomics.
  • Webpack Module Federation — The latest addition to webpack enabling micro front-ends.
  • And more...

Build and publish your D3.js charts with Vue.js

Albert Brand, Frank van Wijk
Vue allows you to build UI components in record time with as little overhead as possible. We’ll show how to build a charting component from scratch using the famous d3 library. Then we’ll package it as a web component and make it available on the web. No worries, it won’t take long! This session is meant for frontend developers who want to learn more about Vue and its endless possibilities. We’ll discuss the command line, the ecosystem and the integrations.

Hands-on monitoring and testing in production

Bert Rijsdijk, Jochum Börger
Testing helps to get instant feedback during your application development. But how do we validate the software when it is working in production? How do we prevent an overload of technical metrics while losing sight of real end-user experience? In this talk we will be touching topics like functional monitoring and synthetic testing. You will learn what these concepts mean and how they fit in with more traditional forms of testing. We will explore how shift left and shift right can work together. There is also an optional hands-on part where you can get your hands dirty and gain some real life how to effectively apply functional monitoring with Datadog and Cypress

Autonomy, is that what we really want?

Kenny Baas-Schwegler, Evelyn van Kelle
There has been a focus on autonomy in information technology; From autonomy in code, autonomy while coding, autonomous systems with microservices to autonomous high-performing teams. When you read Daniel Pink's research in the book Drive, it makes sense; autonomy is one of the three things that motivate us; it is the ability of the person to make his or her own decisions. However, often autonomy can lead to isolation and disconnect from the rest of the code, team, or organization. So how can we balance the individual needs while staying connected to the team/organization to stay autonomous?
