This year\u2019s<\/p>\n
Javarsovia<\/a> conference took place on 26th june. It was held at Centrum Konferencyjno-Kongresowe, Bobrowiecka Street, Warsaw. First of all \u2013 the organization was very nice. Everything seemed smooth, maybe with the exception of conference registration, it was simply overcrowded. The agenda was split into four tracks, each hour 4 different presentations were given in different halls. So you just had to choose which one to attend. My path through the conference is described below, together with my views on each of the presentations I attended. The introductory speech conducted by Mateusz Zi\u0119ba and some other guy from WarJUG, that I can\u2019t seem remember. The speech was very entertaining. Guys did really good job with creating the appropriate atmosphere for the rest of the conference. Jakub Nabrdalik (TouK) with his \u201cHow not to bio-degrade your code\u201d was like the biggest event of the conference \u2013 held on the biggest hall of the building, with lots and lots of people attending. The audience was vivid and responded to Jakub\u2019s ideas with applause. He played us all very well. \u201cFrom request to response\u201d by Jaros\u0142aw B\u0142\u0105d bored me to death. It wasn\u2019t interesting at all to listen about technical details of request handling by all layers of the JEE stack. \u2013 like http server, communication with Java app server, kinds of threads in the latter and the likes. What this presentation should<\/strong> have been about were personal views and opinions on other technologies, frameworks \u2013 Jarek started to tackle in Q&A section of his speech \u2013 that was the real meat! \u201cCode refactoring\u201d by Piotr Jagielski \u2013 overally good, but due to lots of agile, TDD, etc stuff present in the agenda \u2013 I kind of lost interest in that particular one. Fortunately dinner came to aid. With my vital forces rejuvenated by means of lasagne my mind\u2019s comprehension skills were back to normal. That allowed me to enjoy Wiktor Gworek\u2019s presentation about Google\u2019s style of Java coding. It was worth attending. Thou seamed mainly like a Google Guava<\/a> introduction \u2013 it gave a really fast presentation of Java concepts, how you can beautify your code and give you joy from what you write and create in your normal work day. \u201cRoutes of camel riding\u201d by Maciek Pr\u00f3chniak \u2013 a solid does of technical knowledge by another colleague from TouK. Good one \u2013 thou didn\u2019t get much attention from the public. In fact the topic might have been a little misleading, but still the presentation went out well. What Jarek Pa\u0142ka did with his NoSQL talk wasn\u2019t ground breaking, but funny enough and entertaining for the finishing act of this conference. For me some moments of his speech were rather enlightening \u2013 NoSQL dbs are actually used in some serious real world scenarios! Nice. This presentation gave an insight into one of such DBs \u2013 Neo4j<\/a>, a graph handling DB. Left me with a sense of incompleteness \u2013 there was no comparison with other NoSQL products, but this is only an encouragement for me to delve deeper into this subject. All in all, the conference was a big success, with lots of good talks, meeting friends, talking, listening. Around 650 people were on site, I hope the next one will be even bigger! Please bear in mind that the talks presented by me were only the fourth part of all the talks! AFAIK all of them will be available in video form some time after the conference \u2013 perhaps some video editing has to be done, it\u2019s not always youtube you are targeting ;-) Oh, and I didn\u2019t win any small laptops, ipods, books, vouchers \u2013 crap. Maybe next year ;-)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This year\u2019s Javarsovia conference took place on 26th june.
