Bring your Performance Problems Panel

This event brings together some of London’s top performance experts and gives you the opportunity to ask them questions about topics of your choice. The questions could be about a variety of topics:

• Performance problems you’ve encountered when developing software.
• What methodologies should you use when diagnosing a problem?
• How to fit performance testing and tuning into your normal development methodology.
• Tools and software: anything from NoSQL databases and concurrent messaging frameworks to sun.misc.Unsafe.

In order to submit a question, just comment on this event or tweet a question with the hashtag #ljcperfpanel. The discussion should be suitable for any member to attend. The panel members are:

Peter LawreyMillenium Capital Partners

Martijn VerburgjClarity

Martijn is the CTO of jClarity - a Java/JVM performance tooling company for cloud and enterprise deployments. He focuses on demystifying performance jargon and likes to get people to firstly think about the methodology of approaching a problem. "Measure, don't Guess"

Most of you will know him as the co-leader of the LJC where he leads the global effort for the Java User Group "Adopt a JSR" and "Adopt OpenJDK" programmes.

Martijn's book "The Well-Grounded Java Developer" (with Ben Evans) was published by Manning in 2012.

His talks and presentations are in high demand by major conferences (JavaOne, Devoxx, OSCON, FOSDEM, QCon, etc). Often you'll find him challenging the industry status quo in his alter ego "The Diabolical Developer", which he'll probably bring out on the panel :-).
