How to build for and market to developers (sponsored by Yatta)

Frederic Ebelshaeuser (Yatta Solutions GmbH)

The demand for software development has (finally) resulted in increased investments into developer tools. While more and more startups and enterprises have started building tools, distributing and selling them is still painful and difficult.
We share our story of how we started to serve developers by building a UML tool based on the open-source Eclipse IDE. From the enthusiasm of early product development to facing major legal, licensing, marketing and enterprise sales challenges.

Towards more productive development workflows

Sebastian Daschner (IBM)

We developers love writing code, discussing and constructing perfect solutions. However, we very much dislike manual, repetitive tasks, and especially waiting for slow executions such as re-compilations, builds, and slow tests. Our daily coding work involves a lot of these tiny productivity blockers that make our work less enjoyable. What are the state-of-the-art techniques and tools that enable us to spend more time on the beautiful side of coding?

Evolution of Visual Studio Code Java Ecosystem

Xiaokai He (Microsoft)

People love Visual Studio Code for its superfast performance, lightweight nature and active open source community around it. All of these are now available for Java developers by extensions contributed by individuals and companies such as Red Hat, Microsoft and Pivotal. By combining a couple independent extensions, you can create a lightweight working environment just for your Java workload yet powerful enough to almost match the feature richness of existing IDEs.

This sessions shows how you can use Visual Studio Code to develop your Java application. It guides you through all the available extensions so you can later explore then base on your own needs. The session will also introduce a couple new features in VS Code to further boost your productivity with AI-assisted IntelliSense, real-time collaborative development as well as remote development tools.
