http://www.edjug.org/

https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/vjug24-java-user-group-special-tickets-37645109536

All attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers in our community are required to agree with the following code of conduct. Organisers will enforce this code throughout the event. We are expecting cooperation from all participants to help ensuring a safe environment for everybody.
The Quick Version

Our conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference, including talks, workshops, Twitter and other online media. Anyone violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference and chatrooms at the discretion of the conference organisers.
The Less Quick Version

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the community

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of vJUG staff immediately.

EdJug February talk - Android Security - a tour from boot

For our first talk of 2017 we’re very lucky to have Ed Austin talk on Android security.

Based on his upcoming book Ed will provide a tour of the Android security model, starting from the moment the power is turned on through to how the model is enforced.

No prior knowledge is assumed, but Ed will cover a lot of details that are not easy to find out about elsewhere.

JUG talk - Open Sesame! Conversations With My Front Door

We've managed to persuade Maurice Naftalin, co-author of "Java Generics and Collections" and author of "Mastering Lambdas" to come in and give a talk.

Food and drink will be supplied.

Abstract

It's a modest dream: to let delivery people into our tenement stairwell know when there's no-one at home to buzz them in. And the resources needed to realise it are modest too: a Raspberry Pi, a USB modem, a £3 MOSFET relay, an open-source private branch exchange implementation, and a Groovy script to control access and interpret commands. Now we just need to connect the pieces…

In this talk, we'll explore the choices you'll face on the winding path towards telephone voice control of your home: connecting to the PSTN, circumventing the mysteries of VOIP, exploiting voice recognition services, and wiring together the hardware, the software, and the services that make it all work. No previous knowledge assumed.

While he's in town to run the Java 8 lambda course (tickets still available) we've managed to persuade Raoul-Gabriel Urma, co-author of Java 8 in Action to run a free public talk.

Talk details.

Generics are one of the most complex features of Java. They are often poorly understood and lead to confusing errors. Unfortunately, it won’t get easier. Java 10, release planned for 2018, extends Generics. It’s now time to understand generics or risk being left behind.

We start by stepping back into the halcyon days of 2004 and explain why generics were introduced in the first place back. We also explain why Java’s implementation is unique compared to similar features in other programming languages.

Then we travel to the present to explaining how to make effective use of Generics. We then explore various entertaining code examples and puzzlers of how Generics are used today.

Finally, this talk sheds light on the planned changes in Java 10 with practical code examples and related ideas from other programming languages. If you ever wanted to understand the buzz around higher kinded types or declaration site variance now is your chance!

The talk will be streamed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPm7bD1VG0o

Richard Warburton, author of the O'Reilly Java 8 Lambdas book, will give a free talk at the NCR offices.

Anyone is welcome to attend. No need for tickets. Food will be provided by NCR.

You may be hearing a lot of buzz around functional programming. For example, Java 8 recently introduced new features (lambda expressions and method references) and APIs (Streams, Optional and CompletableFutures) inspired from functional ideas such as first-class functions, composition and immutability.

However, what does this mean for my existing codebase?

In this talk we show how you can refactor your traditional object-oriented Java to using FP features and APIs from Java 8 in a beneficial manner.

We will discuss:

- How to adapt to requirement changes using first-class functions
- How you can enhance code reusability using currying
- How you can make your code more robust by favouring immutability over mutability
- How you can design better APIs and reduce unintended null pointer exceptions using an optional data type

For anyone about to really get their teeth into Java 8, Richard is also running a commercial course earlier in the day -> https://opentechcalendar.co.uk/event/2613-java-8-lambda-expressions-streams
