Cracking the Code: Strategies for Effective Problem Resolution
Marianne challenges the stereotypical image of the software developer. She puts into practice the need to shine more light on the un-tech aspects of our profession. In this case: our Problem Solving Skills.
Problem Solving is truly essential to our profession. No matter how good your coding skills are, you're nowhere if you lack effective dealing with challenges you and your team are facing. But how often are you explicitly applying this skill? And if not - do the ghosts of problems past come haunt you later? It's time to develop strategies for effective problem resolution.
In this talk, you will learn about some relevant theories and frameworks. You will gain awareness of your own strengths and weaknesses regarding problem solving. And together we'll explore a range of common pitfalls, plus insights on how to recognize and avoid or overcome them.
The Future is 💚: A Journey through the Energy Efficient Design Principles of Software Engineering
⚡️ Are you a software developer who wants to make a positive impact on the environment? ⚡️
In this session, we will deep dive into the world of Green Software Engineering and give you practical tips on how to measure your application’s carbon footprint and a few tactics you can apply in your applications to be more eco-friendly.
Using a practical hands-on approach, we’ll dive into different layers of the application development stack, where we cover:
✅ JVM guidelines (OpenJDK HotSpot VM, Oracle GraalVM, OpenJ9, native-image, etc.) using JDK 21. We’ll evaluate different application types, including Spring Boot and Quarkus-based
✅ Code Guidelines (Java best practices, Code scanning with EcoSonar)
✅ Architecture (Game changer -> Build Caching to reduce your build time)
✅ Frontend (websitecarbon.com to measure your site)
This session is a must for every software engineer who cares about the environment.
We’re extremely glad to share our hands-on experiments and real-life examples with you.
💚 Let’s work together to create a greener future 💚
