Our industry is rather amnesic. Today, most young Java developers ignore what happened during the early 2000’s that led us with the frameworks and tools we are using today.
That’s too bad because this knowledge would help them to be better developers by understanding the long and winding road, we went thru during these last 20 years.
In this session I’ll go back on the major events of this story with a trolling level at the minimum possible.
We will travel in time to understand the EJB curse and see the Spring 1.0 birth. Then we’ll explain EJB 3.0 reinvention, CDI emergence and Spring Boot launch.
The temporary end of the story will lead us to talk about MicroProfile, Quarkus and Spring Native.
During our journey we’ll try to understand the naming malediction that turned J2EE in Java EE and then Jakarta EE (and no, JEE doesn’t exists). We’ll also try to explore most Spring attempt to build a profitable business model.
At the end of this talk you should have a better overview of the Java Enterprise ecosystem and understand why you should remove J2EE or Java EE (and of course JEE) from your CV if you only are a Spring expert.
This session will be delivered in French.
