Java EE 7 University at Devoxx 2013

Antonio and I gave a What’s New in Java EE 7 Platform University Session at Devoxx 2013 earlier today. The room was pretty big and almost 90% full. We basically took our “50 tips for Java EE 7 in 50 minutes” from JavaOne 2013 and explained each feature with a lot more code samples. We both really enjoyed sharing our passion with the attendees and think highly interactive attendees also had fun. At least that’s what ~98 tweets asked during the session indicate.

The slides from the session are available:

Java EE 7: Whats New in the Java EE Platform @ Devoxx 2013

And all the code samples used in the talk are available at github.com/arun-gupta/javaee7-samples.

And here are some sample tweets from during/after the session:

If you want to learn more about Java EE 7, we’d love to see you at the Hackergarten tomorrow. Help us write tests for these samples and learn some WildFly, GlassFish, and Aquillian skills. Aslak Knutsen, the Arquillian man, will be there himself. And then we have our Java EE 7 hands-on lab on Wednesday, 14:00 – 17:00.

Enjoy some pictures from the event so far …
