REPL Driven Development - Daniel Lebrero

Drinking too much coffee while maven builds and deploys your service? Jealous of how your Front End mate just press F5 to "deploy" his/her changes? Mastered the red-green-refactor workflow and want to know what is the next step?

Our Lisp grandfathers knew how invaluable was the immediate feedback that a Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL) allowed during development and now Java 9 will have one.

Perhaps you have read that a REPL is useful for "playing around" or for "small code snippets", but this is far from true.

In this presentation, you will learn how with a REPL you can have a better and more productive developer workflow by building a Tomcat service, one bit at a time, without having to build, compile, package or deploy it.

Demo will be done with a Clojure REPL but no previous experience with Clojure is required.

This event will be accessible to all developers, but those with a year or more experience with Java will get most from the talk.

Bio: Daniel Lebrero works as a technical architect at IG on the Big Data team. With 16 years of Java experience, he has become an expert on waiting for Maven to build and Tomcat to deploy
