Towards a General Theory of Intelligence & What's New for Java in the Cloud
Description changed:
Join the LJC for an evening of talks this June with Peter Morgan and Steve Poole.
In our first talk, 'Towards a General Theory of Intelligence', Peter Morgan will take a look at the latest developments in AI research and implementation.
The development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is going to require algorithms that can take us far beyond deep learning and the simple image classifiers this was originally developed to solve. These AGI systems will need to do things like inductive reasoning, planning and optimal learning. Peter will talk about some of the latest approaches to solving general intelligence now underway using GPUs and other purpose-built hardware as well as algorithmic approaches to solving and building general intelligence systems.
Peter is CEO at Deep Learning Partnership, a consultancy addressing emerging technologies, especially AI and blockchain http://www.deeplp.com

In our second talk, Steve Poole will discuss how the application stack, open source technologies & the Java ecosystem is changing to meet the demands of Cloud. Whether improved memory footprint, new operating modes, different deployment models or even new hardware the future of Java in the Cloud is demanding more than ever before.
Over the last year or so much has been happening to Java the JVM and the Java ecosystem. Yet there is so much more to come. In this talk hear how the Java application stack, the related open source technologies and the Java ecosystem is changing to meet the demands of Cloud.
Learn what has happened so far and what more there is to come. Whether improved memory footprint, new operating modes, different deployment models or even new hardware the future of the Java in the Cloud is demanding more of developers and IT teams alike.
This talk will help you understand the economic and technical forces driving the evolution of Java and will show you a future thats even more amazing than you might imagine.
Out with the old and in with the new. Are you ready?

Reactive Microservices with Micronaut & Open Cloud-Native Java
Description changed:
Join the LJC at IBM for an evening of talks this May.
In our first talk, Alvaro Sanchez-Mariscal will be discussing Reactive microservices with Micronaut.
Micronaut is a modern, JVM-based, full stack microservices framework designed for building modular, easily testable microservice applications. Micronaut is developed by the creators of Grails and takes inspiration from lessons learnt over the years building real-world applications from monoliths to microservices using Spring, Spring Boot and Grails.
This session covers the current features of Micronaut for building microservices, such as:
– Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control (IoC).
– Configuration system.
– HTTP services.
– Cloud and serverless deployments.
– Management & Monitoring.
Bio:
Álvaro is a passionate developer and agile enthusiast with over 18 years of experience. He now works as a Software Engineer at Object Computing (OCI), the company leading Groovy, Grails and Micronaut open-source development.
Before working at OCI, he spent some years working in different industries like gambling games (Odobo) and fintech (4Finance). Prior to that, he created his own company, Salenda, in 2005, a software factory and Atlassian Solution Partner headquartered in Madrid, Spain. Previously, he worked at companies like IBM BCS, BEA Systems or Sun Microsystems.
Álvaro is a speaker at conferences like GeeCON, JavaLand, JavaZone and Codemotion. He has also written several Grails plugins, including Spring Security REST, which provides stateless, RESTful, token-based authentication for Grails using OAuth 2 and JWT.
In our second talk, Graham Charters will give a presentation and live demonstration of how the MicroProfile initiative helps you build cloud-native Java microservices on open source, open standard APIs, and avoid lock-in to a single company.
Conventional wisdom has it that Java EE is a bad starting point for building Java Microservices, but conventional thinking isn't relevant to the new wave of applications. It isn't that Java EE isn't a good choice (after all most microservice frameworks build on parts of it), it is that it hasn't been growing fast enough to address the problems Microservice architecture present. In 2016, several Java EE server companies, and Java user groups got together to start the MicroProfile initiative to help kick start solving these new problems. Join this session to learn how these new open source, open standard API's can provide a platform for Java based Microservices that doesn't tie the success of your server to a single company.
Bio:
Graham is an IBM Senior Technical Staff Member and WebSphere Applications Server Developer Advocacy Lead based at IBM's R&D Laboratory in Hursley, UK. He takes a keen interest in emerging technologies and practices and in particular programming models. His past exploits include establishing and contributing to open source projects at PHP and Apache and participation in, and leading, industry standards at OASIS and the OSGi Alliance.

We're back again this year with a free digital making party to celebrate Arduino Day and all types of DIY electronics projects, including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, micro:bit and any kind of digital making!
A showcase of interactive and digital making projects + short workshops for beginners.
The first in a series of interactive events to discuss the state of garbage collection in 2018. This will be run in a fishbowl style with a number of people experienced in the subject including Martijn Verburg, Richard Warburton and John Oliver. Some of the questions we will look to discuss will include:
1. Have there been any major garbage collection changes in Java 9?
2. When should you think about garbage collection tuning your application rather than undertaking other performance improvements?
3. What are the different collectors available in OpenJDK/Oracle JDK and when should you think about selecting a different collector?
4. What options are garbage collection performance improvement options beyond OpenJDK/Oracle JDK?
5. How do I get garbage collection information out of the JVM and in what format? Does this process impact / harm my application?
6. What tooling can help me interpret the data?
7. What are some go-to resources for understanding how garbage collection works in Java?

Come and see what’s new in the latest RAD Studio/Delphi 10.2.3
Listen to the one of the Product Managers discuss how the development is evolving, which are the latest features and the coming directions.
Modernise for Windows 10
Windows 10 adoption is still growing; therefore, it is increasingly important for developers to support it properly. That includes modernising the UI, adopting newer controls, and fully integrating with the platforms and its newer WInRT APIs. Plus, developers need to consider supporting the Windows Store distribution using the Windows Desktop Bridge.
From mobile to MultiTier, new features and improved quality
From Linux to the Parallel programming library, from VCL fixes to new versions of mobile operating systems, from FireDAC to the Multi-Device designer, from improved installation to RTl performance, from the Dark IDE style to GetIt package manager... RAD Studio is making progress both in terms of new features and libraries and in terms of quality improvements.
Marco Cantu will be delivering the sessions
Marco is a RAD Studio Product Manager at Embarcadero, with a particular focus on Delphi. He is a longtime Delphi expert, and prior to joining Embarcadero he was an independent Delphi trainer and consultant. Over the years, Marco has written 20 books on Delphi, and spoken about Delphi (and C++) at dozens of conferences throughout the world.

OWASP London Chapter is pleased to announced the 2017 OWASP London CTF Tournament for Application Developers!
CTF (Capture The Flag) is a type of computer security competition. Contestants are presented with a set of challenges and puzzles which test their creativity, technical coding (and googling) skills, and problem-solving ability. Challenges usually cover a number of categories and when solved, each yields a “flag” which is submitted to a real-time scoring service. The difficulty levels are from beginner to advanced.
CTF tournaments are a great and fun way for software developers to learn a wide array of cyber security / application security skills in a safe and legal environment.
Top scorers will win prizes kindly donated by the cyber security technology vendors.
Most programming languages supported.
IMPORTANT: Please bring your own LAPTOP and a charger for it to this event
