2 Talks: Secrets to become a rockstar software developer AND GenAI for Java

Join us for a special event featuring two talks:

Secrets to become a rockstar software developer
Being a “rockstar” or a “celebrity” developer is not about being popular or giving presentations at big events. What sets those developers apart is the work they do on innovative projects and initiatives. By working with other great developers, they create a positive feedback loop that lifts their career into the stratosphere.

The question is: which comes first? Do great developers work on great projects, or are they made great by the projects they work on?

To learn the secrets of rock star developers, we traveled the world and asked them directly. In this talk we show you what they did that made them rockstars. Because no matter what project you are working on right now, you can take the same path.

Speaker

A recognized Java Evangelist and Java Champion, as well as a board member of the Java Community Process, Bruno founded and leads SouJava, the Brazilian Java Users Society. In his book, Developer Career Masterplan, Bruno shares insights on career development for senior developers, topics he further explores in his Code4.life project.

GenAI for the Java Software Development Life Cycle
GenAI can be a great support for Java developers, not only during code, but in all areas of software development.

Come learn how GenAI can help you perform over 20 different tasks during the Java software development life-cycle. From capturing non-functional requirements, to making frameworks decision, writing code, and even getting your infrastructure set up.

You will develop a complete modern Java application with Quarkus and deploy it to the AWS Cloud. This is a live coding, interactive experience that will get you comfortable with adding GenAI to your developer toolbelt.
