Get the (Google) Guice out of Maven

Many Java developers use Spring framework and Maven, but are they really using them right? Asaf Mesika (Logz.io) will show why Google Guice is a far better choice to Spring, while Guy Marom (Outbrain) will explain how Maven works so we can use it in a far more efficient way.

"Embrace Maven" - Guy Marom / Outbrain (http://www.outbrain.com)

Maven is a very popular build tool for building Java projects, but not just Java. Some of the Maven users stick to "mvn clean install" as their goto command to fix everything. But there is so much more you can do with it.

If you want to get to know Maven better, and be more productive with it, this session is for you!

We'll cover the way Maven works, the pom and its components, some useful Maven command options and popular maven plugins we will also discuss the differences between maven and gradle.

"Google Guice vs Spring Framework" - Asaf Mesika / Logz.io (http://logz.io)

The Spring framework has been the de-facto dependency injection standard for almost a decade - but is this truly the best choice for us? Asaf Mesika from Logz.io (http://logz.io/) will share why they chose Google Guice, and provide step-by-step instructions for working with it. In each step, Asaf will help us understand the difference between the two, and show why Guice is a good alternative to the Spring framework. By the end of this talk, you’ll understand Guice and probably choose it for your next project. A must lecture for any Java developer!
