Fear not! In this session Marit and Piotr will explain to you the new exciting things and also show you how to use them in your IDE, so that the next day you can start having fun and profit with modern Java in your favorite tools on your own.

After four years of building, breaking, and learning at iBOOD, we’ve discovered what makes a development team truly successful. No frameworks, no dogma—just seven practical habits that help teams ship great software, stay motivated, and keep improving.
This talk is based on real experiences, not theory, nor agile BS. We’ll dive into:
Prioritizing Pragmatically Balancing business needs, technical debt, and innovation.
Killing Complexity Keeping architecture, code, and processes simple, even as you scale.
Owning the Work Why autonomy beats process, and how teams can take real ownership.
Communicating Relentlessly Why constant, transparent communication makes everything smoother.
Building Microteams Why smaller, focused teams move faster and collaborate better.
Delivering Continuously Making small, frequent releases a habit (without the chaos).
Having Fun Because happy teams build better software. An afterthought about purpose, mastery, and autonomy.
I’ll share stories from the trenches—what worked, what failed, and what we’d never do again. If you’ve ever wondered how to build a team that doesn’t just survive but thrives, this talk will give you concrete ideas to take back to your team.")
