Google Guava – almost everything you need to know

Some time ago at  SoftwareMill during our weekly Friday meeting to share knowledge I’ve presented Google Guava API. And as it ended with quite long presentation and quite many lines of code I thought that this might be interesting for some Java Developers outside our company.

So below there are slides presenting most useful and interesting features of Google Guava (v.11). I didn’t cover every class from this library, there are no examples from cache and concurrent packages as I don’t find this part of Guava as a really, really useful for every Java Programmer. If you need caching or concurrency support, there are some interesting stuff for you in packages I mentioned earlier.

Slides are available here:

Google guava – almost everything you need to know

Source code is available on GitHub – https://github.com/tdziurko/Guava-Lessons and PDF can be downloaded from here.

If you have any feedback or suggestions, please share them in the comments. I am more than happy to learn something new.

Last week I had a pleasure to attend Devoxx conference, the biggest and one of the most known event for Java developers.

Below some of my notes and impressions.

Devoxx conference

Devoxx (few years ago named JavaPolis) is a conference organized in Antwerp. The whole event takes place in a large cinema center allowing attendess to seat in a very comfortable conditions and choose from seven (!) simultaneous sessions, each held in a separate hall. What is more interesting, key notes were run in one hall and life-streamed to other ones so everyone could watch them like a movie on the cinema’s screen. Between sessions, also on the screens, we could read live tweet stream (#devoxx ) so sometimes when WiFi was not working we could still see what people write about conference and presentations, check example photo below or live site which were displayed on the screens:
