Let’s Break New Ground, Together

The Java development platform’s strength and continued growth depends on the relentless pursuit of innovation and performance at the very core of the Java family of technologies. This track covers material that is fundamental to all uses and variants of the Java platform and the Java language and library, including the latest developments in Java Virtual Machines as well as deep technical explanations of new library features. This track also addresses security-related topics surrounding Java including security tools and coding techniques.

This track is filled with technical and birds-of-a-feather (BoFs) sessions that showcase how developers are using Java technology to handle large-scale, mission-critical workloads in the cloud or on-premises. From exploring the fine details of what happens at the source-code level where the work actually gets done, to ecosystem-level efforts and enterprise architectures, if it happens on the server side on the JVM, it’s in this track.

Developers continue to embrace Java, languages that harness the full power of the JVM, and tools to enhance application value into extensive development scenarios. This track showcases how Java, dynamically typed languages and statically typed general-purpose languages, and development tools can help accelerate application development for a wide range of environments including small power-constrained/low memory systems, the embedded connected world, intelligent mobile platforms, and client-side environments, all touching a variety of device types, media types, and situation types.

Did you know that you made Oracle #1? Containerized Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware, Java, MySQL, Oracle WebLogic Server, Oracle Coherence, and other products are the most subscribed-to certified content on Docker Hub. This track focuses broadly on modern applications in cloud environments using containers (Oracle Container Engine, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Registry, Oracle Container Pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Envoy, etc.), serverless technology (Oracle Functions, Fn Project, etc.), infrastructure as code (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Resource Manager, Terraform, etc.), and streaming (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming and other platforms).

The developer community is inclusive of open source, technology groups, diversity, kids’ education, and outreach. This track welcomes content on different programming languages including JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, and the 10 million Java developers globally. Come learn about open source projects you can get involved in such as OpenJDK, Project Fn, Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit , Graal, and others. Help increase diversity in technology and inspire the next generation of young women programmers. Engage with independent advocates such as the Oracle Developer Champions, Java Champions, and Oracle ACEs, and a huge ecosystem of open source developers. Finally, discover how you can be part of the thriving developer ecosystem and contribute to the growth of the largest technology community in the world.
