Vert.x - Polyglot Asynchronous Applications for the JVM (Commonwealth Complex)

Tim started work on Vert.x in mid-2011 after being intrigued by the amount of interest in Node.js and realising that there was nothing similar for the JVM, and frankly, some things could be done better.

The keynote will give you an overview of what Vert.x is and how you can use it to write powerful, modular, web or enterprise applications in Java, JavaScript, Ruby, Groovy or Python, or even mix and match multiple languages in a single application.
