About the event:
Join us for an evening that shows how Java goes beyond everyday coding. Discover the beauty of fractals, see how AI and Java work together in real applications, and explore the newest features of the language. This event is a chance to learn, get inspired, and connect with fellow developers and tech enthusiasts.
Event schedule:
Date: 29th of January, 5 PM - 8 PM
Location: Trifork Porten, Gdanskgade 2, 2300 København S

Wrap-up, final takeaways, and thank you.
Explore the captivating world of fractals and discover how the latest Java versions provide powerful tools to bring complex, recursive math to life. This talk dives into new language and runtime features - including virtual threads, pattern matching enhancements, records, and more - showing how they simplify, speed up, and enrich fractal generation.
You’ll learn to combine recursion, functional programming, and new Java capabilities to build efficient, expressive fractal visualizations in real time.
Imagine you're a music composer struggling to find inspiration for a pivotal movie scene. Then, you remember you’re also a software engineer, and the solution becomes suddenly obvious. Join me in this session, where I'll demonstrate how I enhanced my music composition process by harnessing the power of Java and AI.
Throughout the session, I’ll build a "composer assistant" application using Spring AI to showcase how to make an LLM application production-ready. Is the developer experience affected when working locally with language models? How is observability different when it comes to tokens? Can we ensure resilience across the many integrations orchestrated by the AI? What strategies are available for deploying LLM applications?
In a final twist, you’ll choose which movie scene to score, and I’ll compose and perform the music live for it, supported by AI. Aaaaand action!
