Intro to Foojay.io AND Ivar Grimstad: Jakarta EE 9 and Beyond

Introduction to Foojay.io

Foojay.io (http://foojay.io) is the new Java community platform with everything you need to do your daily Java development work — with reference materials on the latest OpenJDK versions, vendors, and distributions, together with insights into the latest quarterly updates, articles, blogs, tips and tricks, and much more. And all for free, accompanied by a Slack channel for discussion on all things Java and OpenJDK. Follow @foojayio on Twitter (https://twitter.com/foojayio).

To celebrate and introduce Foojay.io, members of the Foojay community are doing a JUG tour and one of the stops is right here. Come join in, learn about Foojay, and hear Ivar Grimstad speak on 'Jakarta EE 9 and Beyond'.

Jakarta EE 9 and Beyond

Jakarta EE 9 lowers the barriers of entry, ease migration, and lays a foundation for future innovation.

In this session, I will go through what Jakarta EE 9 brings to the table and how this release lowers the barriers of entry, eases migration, and lays the foundation for a platform for future innovation.
We will also look ahead to what future releases may bring. The session includes a demo including converting from the javax. to jakarta. namespace as well as looking at available implementations.
