14:00 - Benefiting from Java 9 Improvements

Mention Java 9 and everyone immediately thinks of Modularization. While that's quite important, Java 9 contains many other improvements to the language and the JDK.

In this presentation we will dive into the language level improvements and also the changes related to the streams API and functional style of programming. The objective of this presentation is to help developers make better use of Java 9 from the language, the JDK, and functional programming point of view.

15:45 - Practices of an Agile Developer

Based on the book with the same title as this talk, and which was co-authored by Venkat, this talk will focus on several non-technical practices that are highly essential for the success of teams.

The format of the talk will be in the form of dialogs between the devil, which prompts us to do the wrong things, and an angel, which directs us in the right direction, and how to get a feel if things are working.
