Keep Calm and Fasten Your Seatbelt
Modern web development has many challenges and of those, security is both very important and often under-emphasised. Many of today’s data security professionals are beginning to recognise that unprotected web applications have become attractive targets for cybercriminals looking for easy entry points into their networks. It’s time to get serious about Web App Security
Effectively Testing React Applications
Over the last couple of years testing our apps became standard practice in the industry. Textbooks and research papers state clear benefits and how it can impact business success in the long term sustainability of a product, what they don't tell you is that ineffective testing can have a bigger negative impact on the code maintainability and product stability than no tests at all.
In this talk, we will be looking at some of the practices, tools, and approaches seen in the wild for testing react apps, we will be looking at what worked well and what didn't and how we can do better with code snippets and a small live coding session.

The global community is facing a variety of challenges, including Healthcare and Life Sciences; Finance, Insurance & Payments; Automotive & Manufacturing as a Service; Telecom & IoT ; In-Store Front & Marketing Digitalization; Smart Automation; Data Distribution and Disruptive Social Innovation. In order to solve these challenges, open innovation will play greater roles than ever so that people throughout the world can work together across national borders in advanced technology and new business models to create solutions.
Each year, NTT DATA hosts a global Open Innovation Contest for high potential startups across industries and a wide range of technologies from AI to IoT to FinTech. This year the competition is being held in 16 cities globally and the London pitch day will be on 13th December 2019. This year we are hosting the event in conjunction in Innovate Finance at the prestigious Level 39.
You are invited to join us at the NTT DATA Open Innovation Contest hosted with Innovate Finance, for an interesting afternoon of pitches, a panel discussion on effective innovation and networking, on Friday 13th December 2019, at Level39 the world's most connected community for finance, cybersecurity, retail and smart-city.
The London “Pitch Day” winner will have the opportunity to travel to Japan for the Grande Finale on January 24th 2020.
Last year’s global contest champion, India-based FlytBase ‘Pune’, are working with NTT DATA experts to field the world’s first Internet of Drones platform for easily deploying intelligent drones connected with cloud-based business applications.
In the UK, regional winner for the 9th contest hosted in London in 2019 was GeoSpock, a spatial big data startup that demonstrated a unique power to discover new insights in data, with huge potential to drive a hyper-connected future.

The London Java Community (LJC) hosts a 'unconference' every year that allows developers to come together for a full day of discussions, sharing experiences, learning and spending time with our peers in the industry. This is the 12th unconference we've hosted and it's most certainly the premier event of our user group. This year we're sculpting the event on JCrete®, arguably the best Java unconference in the world.
What is an Unconference?
An unconference is a loosely structured, participant-driven meeting. It does not follow the traditional conference program structure. You decide what you want to talk about and which topics you want to discuss. The unconference starts with an empty schedule. No topics are mandated, no separations are made between “speakers” and “audience”. All participants work out a schedule by suggesting, planning, holding and evaluating sessions, collaboratively.

Project Valhalla Workshop
Project Valhalla is one of the most exciting incoming change for Java. It will bring "Inline Types" (previously known as Type Classes) to the language, Immutable "memory flatten" object that promise to replace primitive types without performance loss and introduce reified generics.
Oracle released the preview called LW2 which give us a quite stable platform to start exploring the new type model on our projects.
There will be a (short) presentation of Valhalla features and current issues.
Then the workshop will start. We will be around to help.
- Bring your notebook with IDE configured
- Download Valhalla from the link below and install it
- Try to use it in a project of your choice. Don't worry if you don't have a project, we will share some examples on Github.

ElasticSearch Inverted Index Lightning Talk
Don’t keep it to yourself - openness and honesty in the workplace
You must have sat in a meeting, listening to someone talk about the next great innovation and how it will revolutionise the way things are done. They’ve discovered the idea, approach, or improvement, that will take the business to the next level and they’re enthusiastically extolling its virtues. However, you’ve seen the flaw in their plan … and you said nothing. You sat there silently, letting them carry on and didn’t make a sound. Why?
There are many reasons why we don’t speak up in situations like this and we'll look at why we don't speak up and the consequences of not doing so.
How to use Apache Kafka and Grafana to visualise business process decisions running on the cloud!
Modern business relies on rapid feedback of data and an ability to easily process that data in order to make good business decisions. In this scenario we look at how a government department distributes grants to farmers ensuring that they have the resources that they need to feed a growing population.
Apache Kafka and Grafana you can have a visual representation of the impact of your business process and help to take these decisions across your organisation, be it different silos, applications, regions or more. Apache Kafka helps getting the information across multiple services and locations. This stream of information would then be captured by InfluxDB, which will help organising the collected metrics and then present these using Grafana.

An introduction to FINOS and how we help you contribute to Fintech Open Source
James McLeod will give an introduction to FINOS - Fintech Open Source Foundation. Learn more about what they are focusing on, how they can help you contribute to Fintech Open Source and where you might want to get involved.
Why we choose React for a Large Scale Financial Trading Platform
In this talk, Keith Bloom will illustrate why React is increasingly being leveraged to build zero-failure trading platforms, for the biggest investment banks and financial institutions in the world. We'll start from altitude, looking across multiple teams spanning hundreds of developers - we'll talk about how React's simple APIs and no-hassle frameworks specifically accelerates development for the biggest trading platforms. We'll then zoom in gradually all the way through to the experience of an individual developer, all while illustrating the points throughout with hard-core technical examples.
About the Speaker
James McLeod is Director of Community at FINOS and wholeheartedly believes the transformation of Financial Services can only be fulfilled if Open Source is embraced under the three pillars of Contribution, Consumption and Community. James also founded “React London - Bring Your Own Project”, a London based meetup with over 1500 ReactJS members.
You can email James at james@finos.org to find out how you can contribute to the amazing work of the Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS).

Don’t keep it to yourself - openness and honesty in the workplace
You must have sat in a meeting, listening to someone talk about the next great innovation and how it will revolutionise the way things are done. They’ve discovered the idea, approach, or improvement, that will take the business to the next level and they’re enthusiastically extolling its virtues.
However, you’ve seen the flaw in their plan … and you said nothing. You sat there silently, letting them carry on and didn’t make a sound. Why?
There are many reasons why we don’t speak up in situations like this and we'll look at why we don't speak up and the consequences of not doing so.
How to use Apache Kafka and Grafana to visualise business process decisions running on the cloud!
Modern business relies on rapid feedback of data and an ability to easily process that data in order to make good business decisions. In this scenario we look at how a government department distributes grants to farmers ensuring that they have the resources that they need to feed a growing population.
Apache Kafka and Grafana you can have a visual representation of the impact of your business process and help to take these decisions across your organisation, be it different silos, applications, regions or more. Apache Kafka helps getting the information across multiple services and locations. This stream of information would then be captured by InfluxDB, which will help organising the collected metrics and then present these using Grafana.

Brainstorming a Clean, Pragmatic Architecture
Part 1: In the mood for a closing brainstorm? Let’s have a critical review of the major decisions taken in a typical enterprise application architecture and learn to balance pragmatism with design goals. Find out how to do just-in-time design to keep as many use-cases as simple as possible (KISS).
We’ve all seen that without continuous refactoring simplistic design eventually degenerates into a Big Ball of Mud, under the assault of new features and bugfixes. At the other end, over-engineered code can burden the start-up of the development and then end up freezing the code in some rigid ‘a-priori’ design. It’s up to us to strike a balance that will preserve Developer Happiness™. To do that, we should regularly challenge the architecture of our system and seek ways to simplify it to fit our present needs, with a pragmatic mindset.
“Architecture is the art of postponing decisions”, said Uncle Bob. This session takes this idea further and explains how to Evolve a Pragmatic, Clean Architecture (aka Onion), guiding the design by what Genetic Programming would call a fitness function. It’s the philosophy Victor applied to design and develop 9 applications for IBM, and a key topic of the trainings he delivered at dozens of companies.
Along the way, you’ll also get a nice review of the fundamental data structure types, how to keep the logic simple by two types of extractions, enforcing boundaries using dependency directions, and crafting a testable design, all in a fun, dynamic and interactive session.
Part 2: Your selection.
During the break, the participants will vote what they want to discuss during the second part of the meetup, as much as will fit in the remaining time. The options will be extracts of the most interesting snippets from Victor's training curricula (http://www.victorrentea.ro/#training), composed of slides and live-coding in Java. The options will include: jdk8, Mocking, TDD kata, Spring @Transactional.

Real-time discovery with Stream Processing
How do you understand what your fintech customers are doing while they are doing it? With the volumes of data growing exponentially, how do you obtain real-time insights with huge amounts of data arriving continuously? What about creating analytics and visualisations to help you understand your business even more?
Traditional systems store all of the data and then process it, having to traverse the data every time a change is made. Today’s leading organisations need real-time analytics to give them competitive advantage.

How Open Source is Funded - The Enterprise Differentiation Tightrope
The java world has a wealth of great open source projects managed by innovative companies - the Pivotal Spring ecosystem, Confluent and Kafka, Elasticsearch, the Hadoop stack, RedHat and many more. But where does the money come from? How do these companies fund open source without compromising on openness?
Privacy Engineering for the World of Kafka
The privacy and security risks associated with using sensitive data can mean that long approval processes counter the ease of engineering and time-saving benefits that Kafka provides. In this talk Alex Cook will cover privacy attacks that Kafka data streams are particularly vulnerable to, and general techniques that can help thwart these attacks. He will go on to propose an architectural pattern where innovation around streaming sensitive data is performed in dedicated safe-zones that protect the privacy of customer data and data subjects.
Finally, he'll discuss how a collaboration between Privitar and Confluent has introduced cutting-edge Privacy Engineering techniques to the world of Kafka streaming data through our Privitar Publisher Kafka Connector. This Connector creates safe-zones for data, called Protected Data Domains, which enable separate teams to work on data streams made safe by applying easily-customizable privacy policies that are managed for each Kafka Topic. These managed data releases are watermarked for traceability and retain referential integrity but cannot be linked to each other (a significant privacy and security risk).

Kubernetes-Native Java with Quarkus
Kubernetes is becoming the de-facto platform to deploy our application nowadays. But this movement also implies some changes in the way we code our applications. Before this change, we just developed a monolith application where everything was up and running up front, now we are breaking down this monolith into (micro)services architecture and everything is interconnected with the network. Although it might seem easy, done properly is not an easy as there are some challenges to address that was not in a monolith architecture.
In this session, we’re going to start discussing what are these challenges (ie fault tolerance, service discovery, open tracing, or health checks) and demonstrate how they can be solved using Eclipse MicroProfile specification.
Come to this session to learn how to develop a successful Kubernetes-Native application using Quarkus, a Java ecosystem way to develop cloud-first, container-native, serverless focused and Kubernetes optimized.

Cloud Native with Java. What does it mean for you? Already immersed to the armpits and cursing the day you started? Wanting to take the first step but worried where to put your foot? Or have you successfully navigated the rapids and are now in calmer waters?
Whatever your situation we’d like to invite you to join a 1 day unconference focused on Cloud Native. Encompassing the whole scope - from how to design applications for the cloud, to how to develop, deploy, debug, scale, observe and even secure your creations.
If you’re an expert come and share your knowledge - if new to the game come and learn from the old hands. The only requirements are to bring your passion, knowledge and desire to share.
Since Cloud Native is a wide subject the aim is a curated unConference. That means that we follow the Open Spaces approach but with a light structure to guide the discussion along determined topics. We’ll have some well known experts to help guide the discussions but other than that it’s going to be as attendee-led as we can make it.
All this and for only £15!

Microservices are being deployed by many Java Hipsters. If you're working with a large team that needs different release cycles for product components, microservices can be a blessing. If you're working at your VW Restoration Shop and running its online store with your own software, having five services to manage and deploy can be a real pain.
This presentation will show you how to use JHipster to create Angular + Spring Boot apps with a unified front-end. You will leave with the know-how to create your own excellent apps!
Bonus: I'll show you how to use Ionic for JHipster to create native applications on mobile. It's pretty darn slick!

Introduction to Nuxt and Headless CMS - Alessandro Giordo
An introduction to how Nuxt works, as well as how to setup Nuxt with a headless CMS (WordPress or others) and how this can improve your workflow.
Frontend State Management with React Apollo - Tatenda Chawanzwa
State management has come along since the JQuery days (when arguably there was no need to handle frontend application state). With the burgeoning of single page applications has come the need for better state management, enter frameworks such as flux, redux, vuex and NGRX to name a few which all serve the big three, React, Vue and Angular.
In this talk, Tatenda Chawanzwa will look at new upcoming state management for Graphql. Specifically, he will talk on react-apollo, how to integrate with React, fire Queries/Mutations and update the local cache created by React apollo. He will also delve into how we can implement a global state store for even local variables with the @client directive. This way we can completely do away the need for redux and use react-apollo in built cache. He will also look at how we can write simple tests for this.
This will be a hands on talk. You're encouraged to bring your laptop with Node and npm installed. A github link will be provided to clone the repo to follow along with.
About the Speakers
Alessandro Giordo is a Frontend Developer working for Vodafone UK. He works mostly with Vue.js and React, and public speaks about Nuxt and other cool tech. In his spare time, he likes eating Pizza
Tatenda Chawanzwa has been a commercial software developer for 3 years. He has worked for startups in the beauty and well-being space, as well as blockchain. He is now contracting, consulting for companies such as Sky and is currently working with Eurostar where he uses all the technologies he intends to showcase in his talk.

Cloud Native. What does it mean for you? Already immersed to the armpits and cursing the day you started? Wanting to take the first step but worried where to put your foot? Or have you successfully navigated the rapids and are now in calmer waters?
Whatever your situation we'd like to invite you to join a 1 day unconference focused on Cloud Native. Encompassing the whole scope - from how to design applications for the cloud, to how to develop, deploy, debug, scale, observe and even secure your creations.
If you're an expert come and share your knowledge - if new to the game come and learn from the old hands. The only requirements are to bring your passion, knowledge and desire to share.
Since Cloud Native is a wide subject the aim is a curated unConference. That means that we follow the Open Spaces approach but with a light structure to guide the discussion along determined topics. We'll have some well known experts to help guide the discussions but other than that it’s going to be as attendee-led as we can make it.

Some of the questions we want to discuss
1. As a developer what tools should I learn first when getting started with Cloud Native?
2. How does “security” work in a Cloud Native environment?
3. What's the best way to structure a CI/CD pipeline for Cloud Native development?
4. Are microservices the only answer for Cloud Native applications?
5. What are the practical guidelines for performance?
6. Do I have to use Docker and Kubernetes?
7. How do I keep my options open when deploying to public cloud?
8. What are the gotchas / best practises when using any particular public cloud?
9. What are the existing design patterns around Cloud Native deployments?
We’ve got great sponsors including the London Java Community, Eclipse Foundation and IBM but we’re certainly open to having more.
We’ll provide food, beer, sparkly stuff etc and have some nice little giveaways. (The small print - a donation will be needed to the LJC to help make this event a great one)

Cloud Native. What does it mean for you? Already immersed to the armpits and cursing the day you started? Wanting to take the first step but worried where to put your foot? Or have you successfully navigated the rapids and are now in calmer waters?
Whatever your situation we'd like to invite you to join a 1 day weekend unconference focused on the topic of Cloud Native. Encompassing the whole scope - from how to design applications for the cloud, to how to develop, deploy, debug, scale, observe and even secure your creations.
Regardless of programming languages involved, we'd like to hear your story and your advice.
If you're an expert come and share your knowledge - if new to the game come and learn from the old hands. The only requirements are to bring your passion, knowledge and desire to share.
Since Cloud Native is a wide subject the aim is a curated unConference. That means that we follow the Open Spaces approach but with a light structure to guide the discussion along determined topics. We'll have some well known experts to help guide the discussions but other than that it’s going to be as attendee-led as we can make it.
We’ve got some great sponsors including the London Java Community, Eclipse Foundation and IBM but we’re certainly open to having more.
We’ll provide food, beer, sparkly stuff etc and have some nice little giveaways. (The small print - a donation will be needed to the LJC to help make this event a great one)
Oh and by the way - open source only. No sales pitches or overt promotions of commercial software or offerings.

Memory Buffer Recycling - Rafal Foltyński
Most developers heard about object pool or flyweight pattern, many of them actually implemented one, but probably just a few tried to apply it directly to memory and expand/shrink the pool on the fly. The main purpose of this talk is to show the main challenges of writing a resizable pool of memory buffers and considerations that every dev should take into account. (Plus, you'll get a bunch of live demos in background.)
See how your decisions affect your business using Kubernetes, JBPM open source business process, Apache Kafka, and Grafana - Paulo Menon, Ingo Weiss and Craig Reeves
Modern business relies on rapid feedback of data and an ability to easily process that data in order to make good business decisions. In this scenario we look at how a government department distributes grants to farmers ensuring that they have the resources that they need to feed a growing population.
Apache Kafka and Grafana you can have a visual representation of the impact of your business process and help to take these decisions across your organisation, be it different silos, applications, regions or more. Apache Kafka helps getting the information across multiple services and locations. This stream of information would then be captured by InfluxDB, which will help organising the collected metrics and then present these using Grafana.

See how your decisions affect your business using Kubernetes, JBPM open source business process, Apache Kafka, and Grafana - Paulo Menon, Ingo Weiss and Craig Reeves
Modern business relies on rapid feedback of data and an ability to easily process that data in order to make good business decisions. In this scenario we look at how a government department distributes grants to farmers ensuring that they have the resources that they need to feed a growing population.
Apache Kafka and Grafana you can have a visual representation of the impact of your business process and help to take these decisions across your organisation, be it different silos, applications, regions or more. Apache Kafka helps getting the information across multiple services and locations. This stream of information would then be captured by InfluxDB, which will help organising the collected metrics and then present these using Grafana.
