EPAM Tech Talks Krakow with Jeremy Edberg

Join EPAM Tech Talks on 16th April in Krakow! We will have 2 sessions: our special guest speaker is Jeremy Edberg (http://www.jedberg.net/)who is going to speak about how to build Reliable Distributed Systems and Martin Toshev is going to give us a speech on the Modularity of the Java Platform.

Details:

Jeremy Edberg: Building Reliable Distributed Systems (in Java or any other language)
As hardware becomes increasingly cheaper, for a good software engineer building and understanding distributed systems becomes more essential every day. In this talk we'll discuss such Distributed Computing concepts as hashing algorithms, bulkheading, backpressure, caching, cache invalidation and coherence, idempotency, and eventual consistency, among other things. You'll also hear real, practical examples of how to apply these concepts, and some Netflix and reddit war stories too!

Martin Toshev: Modularity of the Java Platform
This session will present the current progress around project Jigsaw that aims to modularize the Java platform and provide overview on the interoperability with OSGi in terms of project Penrose. Brief overview on the two projects in terms of OpenJDK and points for open-source contribution will be covered at the end of the talk.

Agenda:

• Modularity 101
• Modularity on top of the platform: OSGi
• Modularity of the platform: Jigsaw
• OSGi and Jigsaw interoperability: Penrose
