Html5, AngularJS, Groovy, Java and MongoDB all together – what could go wrong? (24/11)

Hello again JUGgers!

Ready for another great talk? We hope so, because next monday 24th at 7pm again, in the auditorium (Building B6) at the Faculty of Computer Science of Barcelona (FIB), we will host an incredible talk, if you do not believe it, look at the name: Html5, AngularJS, Groovy, Java and MongoDB all together – what could go wrong? by Trisha Gee.

We must say that it seems to have been a common theme amongst startups to create the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) in a language that facilitates rapid prototyping (for example Ruby), and then migrate to the JVM when the application has proved itself and requires more in terms of stability and performance.

Trisha will demonstrate us that it’s possible to use a static, boiler-plate-heavy language like Java to create a web application in under an hour, in front of your very eyes. The JVM is a true polyglot platform, and she will show us how to use the correct tools for each part of your application, including: AngularJS, Bootstrap, HTML 5, Web Services, Java-the-language, MongoDB and Groovy - a fully buzz-word-compliant application. While she won’t go into every technology in depth, she will demonstrate the role of each tool and how they interact. 

At the end of the talk we will have a fully working mobile-and-browser-friendly application, without compromising on design or good practice... It’s even going to have tests!

Yes, live coding, with all attendant danger. 

So it seems to be a great talk, don't you think so? ;-)

For any of you who do not know anything about Trisha, let us say  that she has developed Java applications for a range of industries, including finance, manufacturing and non-profit, for companies of all sizes. She has expertise in Java high performance systems, is passionate about enabling developer productivity, and right now is getting to grips with working in an Open Source fashion as a developer for MongoDB Inc, where she contributes to the Java driver and Morphia. Trisha blogs regularly on subjects that she thinks developers and other humans should care about, she’s a leader of the Sevilla Java & MongoDB User Groups, a key member of the London Java Community and a Java Champion - she believes we shouldn't all have to make the same mistakes again and again.

That's all folks, come and join us next monday at FIB!
