About the talks

SSL/TLS for Mortals

Using SSL/TLS the right way is often a big hurdle for developers. We prefer to have that one colleague perform "something with certificates" because he/she knows how that works. But what if “that one colleague” is enjoying vacation and something goes wrong with the certificates?

In this session, we’ll take a close look at secure communication at the transport level. Starting with what exactly SSL and TLS is, we'll dive into public/private keys, and signing. We'll also learn what all this has to do with an unfortunate Dutch notary. Of course, there'll be plenty of practical tips & tricks, as well as demos.

Attend this session to become "that one colleague"!

=========================
Java 15: what's in it for me?

With almost boring precision another Java release is brought to us this month. What's in it, however, is far from boring! In this talk, Sander will show you the highlights. We'll look at text blocks, records (the much anticipated data class for Java), pattern matching, and more.

Be sure to bring your questions, because many of these new features are just a starting point for more Java evolution down the line. Let's find out together what the future of Java holds!
