I first heard about JavaOne many years ago, when I started my career as a software developer. Every year, the most talented software professionals from all over the world would meet in San Francisco (USA) to discuss the advancements in Java technologies, being the first ones to learn about all the trends that transform our industry. Since then, I have always been dreaming of attending this unique conference, but it somehow seemed like a distant dream… until the day that I was invited as a speaker to Oracle Code One conference (the successor of JavaOne since 2018).
On 16th September 2019 I gave a presentation about “How to Improve the Quality of Your Application (I Wish I’d Known This Earlier!)”, sharing all the lessons that I had learned while working as a software engineer for a big, complex enterprise application, discussing which techniques worked and which ones failed, providing actual examples and metrics from that application.
My presentation at Oracle Code One was evaluated by conference participants as:
- Content: 5/5
- Speaker: 5/5
Here are some of the comments that I received:
- “Excellent session”
- “Very useful insights”
- “Well thought out and meticulously presented. I work with a lot of legacy code so I got a lot of practical advice from this speaker!”
Oracle Code One 2019 was an amazing conference! It was the greatest celebration of the software development community: everyone was enthusiastic to participate, eager to exchange ideas & share their knowledge, with the discussions in the hallways being never-ending. Overall, it was a great opportunity for me to meet colleagues from all over the world, learn what they are doing, and feel inspired.
