Consider the following scenario: We are somewhere in the early 2020’s. As a result of a couple of viral tweets or a media report, your company’s carbon footprint suddenly becomes a public matter and maybe even a serious publicity issue.

And that is exactly what this talk is about.

Angular 9 brings Ivy in a backwards compatible version and, as a result, smaller bundles. In addition, the I18N solution has been extensively revised and some corners have been rounded off. This provides new possibilities not only for the developer but also for future versions of Angular.

eLearning apps are redesigning the way people learn for fun and work, with added convenience and easy access to the platforms. Creating these apps is both science and art; they must have an attractive design, stay within budget constraints, and help transform difficult subjects into an easy-to-understand, engaging experience. Here is how to do it.
Symfony 4 and the introduction of Flex put a focus on enabling developers to create microservice-style applications with Symfony. In a microservice architecture, delegating tasks to other services or distributing data between these services is a challenge most monolith applications do not have to deal with. Find out more in Denis Brumann’s informative session.
The wait is finally over. Angular 9 is here with its final release. We have been keeping tabs on its production and patiently awaiting, with each Angular 8 update and every Angular 9 release candidate. This is a major update to Angular, which adds the new and improved Ivy compiler and runtime, faster testing, better debugging, and many more improvements.
We compared two current survey reports to find out about this year’s top three Java IDEs, frameworks, build tools and the most popular JVM languages. And, of course, the surveys conducted by Snyk and JRebel didn’t miss out on asking about the most used Java versions. The winner was no surprise, but what reasons speak against migrating?
Things can change on a dime, leaving your teams unprepared, using outdated technologies. What is evolutionary architecture, and how do you build it?
