A few months ago, we asked the J-Fall organization team if a Foojay Broadcast Room would be a good idea. And they said yes, so suddenly we found ourselves in the middle of the entrance of the Pathé cinema in Ede in the Netherlands, with a camera and microphones. During the day, we had a lot of exciting talks. There are way too many to fit in one podcast, so in the following weeks, you will get different episodes handling a lot of topics. This is part 1, and we talk about J-Fall of course. But also about the evolutions in Java and how it’s becoming the best cloud environment while keeping systems sustainable, and reducing the ecological, financial, and security impact of applications.00:00 Introduction00:59 Brian Vermeer: About J-Fallhttps://twitter.com/BrianVermhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/brianvermeer/https://mastodon.social/@brianvermhttps://jfall.nlhttps://nljug.org/https://foojay.io/today/author/bmvermeer/  03:50 Pratik Patel: Evolutions of Javahttps://twitter.com/prpatelhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/prpatel/https://mastodon.social/@prpatelState of Java Survey and Report 2023: https://www.azul.com/report/2023-state-of-java/  OpenJDK Migration for Dummies: https://www.azul.com/openjdk-migration-for-dummies/ 13:33 Grace Jansen: Cloud Java https://twitter.com/gracejansen27 https://www.linkedin.com/in/grace-jansen/20:22 Mark van der Walle: FinOps, EcoOpshttps://twitter.com/mvdwallehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mvanderwalle/  25:56 Ko Turk: Sustainabilityhttps://twitter.com/KoTurk77https://www.linkedin.com/in/ko-turk-b271b929/30:37 Ionut Balosin: Sustainability and Green Engineeringhttps://twitter.com/ionutbalosinhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ionutbalosin/ 35:28 Deepu Sasidharan: Passkeys and Securityhttps://twitter.com/deepu105https://www.linkedin.com/in/deepu05/https://mastodon.social/@deepu105https://foojay.io/today/author/deepu-sasidharan/42:18 OutroHost Frank Delportehttps://foojay.social/@frankdelportehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/frankdelporte/https://foojay.io/today/author/frankdelporte/MusicBarbershop JohnHermine DeurlooSynapse by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

Once a month we talk about the history of a JUG and the people behind it. Today we travel to the Philippines. A new generation of developers has taken over the organization of the JUG. And in addition, they are also involved in the organization of the Softcon conference. Let's talk about the history and future of the Java community in the Philippines.GuestsTristan Mahinayhttps://twitter.com/ph_tantanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rjtmahinay/https://blog.rjtmahinay.com/https://www.facebook.com/rjtmahinay/Calen Legaspihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/calenlegaspi/https://twitter.com/calenlegaspiJansen Marson Anghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jansen-ang/Kerby Martinohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kerbymartino/ https://twitter.com/kerbymartPodcast Host: Frank Delportehttps://foojay.social/@frankdelportehttps://twitter.com/FrankDelporteLinkshttps://www.meetup.com/java-user-group-ph/https://www.linkedin.com/company/jugph/https://www.facebook.com/groups/jugphhttps://github.com/JUGPHhttps://softconph.com/ Content00:00 Intro and introduction of the guests03:40 How big is the Philippines Java community 05:07 History of Java in the Philippines06:18 Topics presented at the JUG07:05 Impact of Covid07:43 About the Softcon conference10:20 Mixing online and offline12:02 Most remarkable JUG sessions13:05 Involving younger visitors and speakers13:42 Java at Philippine Universities16:21 Future plans for the JUG16:59 About LangChain4Jhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD1MSLbs9KE (Lize Raes @ Devoxx)18:59 AI topics on Softcon19:33 Impact of AI on developer jobs22:15 How can people join the JUG24:27 Why being part of the JUG organization27:38 About the age of different programming languages30:37 The importance of the Philippines Java community32:21 New upcoming website for the JUG35:43 Outro

The first week of October, the 20th edition of Devoxx took place in Antwerp, Belgium. Over 3000 Java developers, speakers, and enthusiasts gathered to share their knowledge and learn from each other. I got the opportunity to walk around with a microphone and talk to visitors and speakers. Not all of them, as there were just too many people and too many exciting sessions happening simultaneously.Also available with video on youtube.com/watch?v=VJJmoiP7e-IPodcastHost: Frank Delportehttps://foojay.social/@frankdelportehttps://twitter.com/FrankDelporte Content00:00 Introduction with the Father of Java01:20 Stephan Janssen, founder of Devoxx05:39 Celestino Bellone and Mike Seghers, members of the organization06:12 What visitors want to learn and see10:12 Why attending Devoxx11:32 How is Java being used by the attendees12:17 Anton Arhipov13:19 Bruno Borges and Sean Phillips18:10 Ivar Gramstad20:51 Paul and Gail Anderson23:16 Mario Fusco24:39 Roni Dover25:28 Nicolai Parlog27:58 Renato Cavalcanti29:17 Sami Ekblad 30:20 Mariama Diaby30:58 AV room with Bart Vervaet  32:20 James Gosling36:14 OutroMusicBarbershop JohnHermine DeurlooSynapse by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

On September 12th, I was invited to speak at the Utrecht JUG together with Hanno Embrechts. That was an ideal moment to grab my camera and microphones to interview the organisers and some of the guests. So this is a bit a special edition of the Foojay Podcast as it’s also available with video! An experiment that brought me great pleasure. I hope you like it too! So … let’s time travel and get back to Utrecht when I got the organizers before the camera just minutes before the first guests arrived…Video is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzhDmWZilI4GuestsMichel van Dongenhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michelvandongen/https://twitter.com/VanDongenMWillem van de Griendthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/willemvandegriendt/https://twitter.com/Willemvdg Elias Nogueirahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/eliasnogueira/https://twitter.com/eliasnogueiraGerard Meijwaardhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/gerard-meijwaard-83a5827/https://twitter.com/GerardMeiHanno Embregtshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hannoembregts/https://twitter.com/hannotifyhttps://foojay.social/@hannotifyPodcastHost: Frank Delportehttps://foojay.social/@frankdelportehttps://twitter.com/FrankDelporteLinkshttps://www.meetup.com/Utrecht-Java-User-Group/https://www.linkedin.com/company/javautrecht/https://twitter.com/utrechtjugContent00:00 Intro00:45 Michel van Dongen about the history and organisation of UtrechtJUG03:10 Impact of Covid and meeting in person04:24 Motivation to organise a JUG05:57 Relationship with NLJUG and other Dutch JUGs07:18 Willem van de Griendt about his role in UtrechtJUG08:23 Why Willem loves the Java community09:40 What to learn from JUG events10:56 Future plans for UtrechtJUG12:05 Guests are arriving12:18 Interview with guest, Elias Nogueira13:27 Interview with guest, Gerard Meijwaard14:40 Introduction of Hanno Embregts16:01 About speaking at JUGs and conferences16:47 Being editor of the NLJUG Java Magazine18:11 Hanno on stage18:30 Outro

Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT are the talk of the town. Every conference has several talks about these technologies, and on Foojay, you can find multiple posts about it. In this podcast, we want to take a look at it from the Java point of view.

Since 2018, we get a new version of Java every 6 months. And version 21, released this month, will be a long-term support version that can be used for many years. It also brings a lot of new features and improvements in both the language and the runtime. Actually, there are so many that we’ll probably not get all of them discussed in this podcast! Let’s see what our experts find the most important facts we need to know about Java 21.
