My first time at JavaCro was a vert pleasant ecperience. I have heard so much about this conference located on an Island off the shore of Croatia. The Island is Sveti Andrija (St. Andrew Island), a 15-minute boat trip from Rovinj.
I had two talks on the first day of the conference. The day started with Tanja‘s talk titled Jakarta EE impact on the Java ecosystem. I was next up with The Past, Present, and Future of Enterprise Java. This is a recap of how important Enterprise Java has been, and still is, for Java in general. It is loaded with demoes of some of the new and upcoming features in Jakarta EE.
My second talk was scheduled in the afternoon. This was titled What Spring Developers Should Know About Jakarta EE. This talk goes through how much Spring Framework and J2EE/Java EE/Jakarta EE rely on, and inspire each other.
The island, which is actually two islands connected by a pier, has plenty of opportunities for a dip in the ocean, sights, and trails for walking or running. I took the oportunity for a run around the islands with Daniel Kec on the second day of the conference in the spirit of #runWithJakartaEE.
