What we’re about
PDX JUG is a community of users of the Java programming language located in Portland, Oregon. We welcome speakers from diverse backgrounds who want to explain Java related technologies that our members can take back and use right away. We ask speakers who are in part describing their company's product to also give the audience information that they can use regardless of whether they use said product.
Various companies located in Portland sponsor our meetup by purchasing food, beverages, and/or providing meeting space. This sponsorship helps them increase brand recognition and attract high quality job applicants, but also helps establish Portland's tech scene as an active and diverse community of people who enjoy sharing knowledge about cutting edge technology.
Thank you to our sponsor, ProFocus Technology Professionals
Featured event
Dependency management for Java applications
Agenda
5:30 pm - 5:45 pm - Pizza and Intro
5:45 pm - 6:45 pm - Presentation
Details
Modern Java systems utilize hundreds (or thousands) of dependencies. Each additional dependency adds complexity to the application development process. Java developers need to think about how to manage internal libraries and external libraries. In this talk, we will share our experiences with dependency management in large Java systems.
We'll cover technical challenges that Java developers face when maintaining legacy applications. We will also examine best practices for managing dependencies in greenfield projects. We will discuss standard build tools such as Maven and Gradle. We'll share mistakes that we made and bugs that we encountered.
Speaker
Sean Sullivan is a software engineer with more than 20 years of experience building Java applications.
Sean has worked on platform engineering projects at Grubhub, Twilio, and Netflix.
He is an active member of the Portland Java User Group in Portland Oregon.
