About this event

The LJC is delighted to continue our new series of events, aimed at giving all Community members an opportunity to present at an LJC meet-up.

If you have an interesting topic to share, these events are for you. You don’t have to be an experienced speaker - we want to hear your story and offer you a friendly, informal platform to practise and improve your presentations.

For attendees we want this to be a meeting place, where you can talk and network with other technologists in London.

If you’d like to speak at a future event, please submit your talk and bio details here: https://sessionize.com/ljc/

Huge thanks to our friends at Metro Bank for hosting this event and supporting our Community.

Speaker One: Simon Copsey
Title:
From Diapers to Delivery: Parenting Lessons for Effective Management
Synopsis:
Parenthood often arrives with little time for preparation. Our idea of 'good' parenting usually involves emulating what we’ve observed in others, whilst hoping we won't do any permanent damage our kids.Stepping into a managerial role can feel remarkably similar: we often have to rely on mimicking behaviours we’ve seen in others, despite knowing this may be imperfect or uncomfortable.Fortunately, there is a science to becoming a better manager, and we can draw inspiration from our experiences as parents (or children).In this talk I hope to provide you with a systematic method for improving your approach to management, so you can get closer to being the manager you most want to be.

Speaker Two: Marcin Kruglik
Title:
Jakarta EE 101
Synopsis:
Jakarta EE still carries a lot of baggage from its Java EE days — that it’s outdated, not responsive, and no longer relevant because "everyone has moved to Spring." But are these opinions actually based on facts and a real understanding of the project?In this talk, we’ll explore what Jakarta EE really is — and probably more importantly, what it’s not.
Is it a competitor to Spring? Is it still relevant today? What’s its relationship with MicroProfile? How many of us are actually using Jakarta EE in our projects?
And finally, is there anything new happening in Jakarta EE?
