A new sprint starts and you have to implement a new feature, you naively open the file where the functionality ought to live. To your great horror, a five headed monster seats there scaring the hell out of any developer trying to change that file. You know the time has …

This talk will provide a quick introduction to Docker images (build time), containers (run time), and registry (distribution). It shows how to take an existing Java EE application and package it as a monolithic application as a single Docker image. The application will then be refactored in to multiple microservices …
When a Java code-base grows beyond a certain size, any original arrangement of source files (or software architecture) is often lost. The developers also become lost, and start drowning in the ever-expanding sea of classes. Usually the underlying code – the classes – are in reasonable shape. The problem is …
How many times have been told how functional programming is so much better than imperative, and then being presented with a functional approach to calculating a fibonacci sequence, leaving you wondering how that can be even remotely useful when working in real world applications? Yep, we’ve all been there. It …
Learn how the refactoring of a Java program make it easier to perform unit testing. Starting with a typical non-object oriented solution, the design is restructured into several classes and unit tests are created for them.
