There are just over two weeks left to submit a talk for #GR8Conf EU 2019 at cfp.gr8conf.org

If you need ideas, here's a thread.

#groovylang #grailsfw #gradle #spockfw #gebish #griffon #springboot #micronautfw #ratpackweb #sdkman #android #devops #ci #cd #cfp #jenkins
Feel free to like/❤ a topic you’d attend and @ people you think should submit a talk on this topic. I have A LOT of ideas so I’ll spread this out over a few days maybe a week depending on how this goes.
1/ an intro to @spockframework

including:
- using #spockfw in a polyglot organization including any tips/tricks for integrating with other languages like #Java and #Kotlin
- the top things you wish you knew when you started using spock
- good testing practices in general
2/ Creating APIs with #springboot and #groovylang

including:
- best practices, data formats, and tradeoffs
- creating vs consuming APIs
- which libraries can help like #springdata #springsecurity and #springrestdocs
- how to test the API
3/ Deploying an X app to Y(cloud service)

Any x from the #groovylang ecosystem like #grailsfw #micronautfw #springboot or #ratpack. And #aws was the most common submission for Y in past years, but it would be nice to see some #heroku #cloudfoundry #gcp or #azure talks this year.
4/ Creating and publishing a #gradle plugin written with #groovylang

It's a ➕ if you have a popular published plugin you can demo.
5/ Functional programming with Apache Groovy

Highlighting key functions and patterns unique to #groovylang
6/ A comparison of frameworks for building web applications with #groovylang

As ideas: #grailsfw #micronautfw #springboot #ratpackweb #gaelyk #griffon #vertx #glide

Preferably going beyond the hello world example and showing the use cases for each.
7/ Groovy for #android

Although the project (github.com/groovy/groovy-…) might need some #conferencedrivendevelopment
8/ Hacking Developer Productivity

It doesn't need to be #groovylang specific. It can be something any developer would be interested in seeing including integrations for #jira, #github #intellij #trello #slack etc and process hacks
9/ A retrospective/case study of something your company tried that did or didn’t work
10/ Event-Driven Architecture Best Practices

- when you should use it
- what tools can help like: #vertx #rxjava #kafka #akka #ratpack #grailsfw #netty #micronautfw
11/ - #springsecurity and general #security topics

- authentication & authorization
- config to make sure you block basic attack vectors
- personal stories of handling security reports
12/ anything Infrastructure as Code #IaC

There's definitely an opportunity to use #groovylang here like #infrastructor, but also to go further with #terraform #aws #cloudformation #ansible #docker #consul #apachezookeeper

@georgberky 14/ New trends in Databases

not necessarily for #groovylang, but something everyone needs to know like #jooq #hibernate #postgres #neo4j #tinkerpop #cassandra #redis #mongodb
15/ #groovypuzzlers or a similar interactive session to get people talking about #groovylang
16/ Dynamic vs static programming in #groovylang
