What do you Mean, Backwards Compatibility?
BIG DATA & ANALYTICS
The Java driver for MongoDB has been around almost as long as the NoSQL database itself. It was designed without some of the modern Java features we now take for granted, and the API might be easier with features like lambdas.
The existing Java driver is extensively used, which leads to a tricky question: how do you create a new API that uses modern development patterns whilst retaining backwards compatibility? Your users are fundamental to the success of your business, you do not want to alienate them, break their systems or make it hard for them to migrate to the New World Order.
In this presentation Trisha will share some of the pain experienced and solutions tried while creating a new Java driver for MongoDB.
Career Advice for Programmers
PEOPLEWARE
Anyone ever give you advice on how to remain a programmer? To avoid being “promoted” into positions away from technology and code? Anyone ever tell you at school or university that you needed social skills to be a good developer? Did you know, without having had half a dozen different jobs, that all development roles are not created equal? Is it true that moving jobs a lot is a Bad Thing?
In this session I’m going to share some lessons I learnt the hard way while managing my career as a Java developer. I’m going to tell you secrets that others don’t want to share. And I’ll give you tools for working out what your next steps are.
If nothing else, you’ll get to laugh at the (many) mistakes I’ve made in my search for The Perfect Job.
