Bruno Souza, and Otávio Santana are doing a USA JUG Tour! Lets give a warm Milwaukee welcome to our Java friends from São Paulo, Brazil.

There will be two talks at this event:

Talk 1: Bruno Souza

Title: Be a better Java developer, learn faster and get more results: it's all about the skills!

Synopsis: "Struggling to keep up with technology, or feeling overwhelmed with so many things to learn? Do you feel you are a competent developer, but you don't see the results in your career? Maybe you feel like you don't belong or that you are not good enough?Those are common symptoms, you are not alone! This talk will show you what's behind those feelings, why you can't keep up, and how to solve that. Come learn what the last 10 years of brain science has shown about our career and what the best developers do differently. Discover the exact skills you need to have to grow, and how to apply them in your project today. Become a better Java developer, create unlimited growth and forge your own path to success."

Talk 2: Otavio Santana

Title: Modern Data Streaming and Processing with Apache Kafka and NoSQL

Synopsis: "Modern microservice-based architecture needs to exchange data in a fast and reliable way. The use of distributed streaming platforms such as Apache Kafka makes the job easier, but it’s often not enough. Applications also use NoSQL databases to store information that comes from multiple sources, so it makes perfect sense to use Kafka and NoSQL to create a distributed streaming and processing pipeline between applications. This hands-on lab explores such an architecture, deploying applications with Oracle Cloud and Jakarta EE technologies - Oracle NoSQL, Kafka, and JNoSQL - that are used to connect to the database and receive Kafka messages as CDI events."
