Description

The JVM has become the runtime for a lot of different languages. Nowadays developers program in more than one language. Of course java is still used the most on the JVM, but other languages are winning terrain. The next step for developers is to create polyglot applications, taking the best out of each language, such as JavaScript, Groovy, Ruby and Java. Vert.x is a framework that runs on the JVM. Vert.x enables developers to create polyglot applications that run on the JVM.

That is not the only thing Vert.x brings. It also has been built to be scalable and it has a very simple approach for concurrency that can be compared to the Node.js method. Another important feature of Vert.x is the distributed event bus that is also available from the clients. Using this technology you can receive events in the browser that are generated by the server and vice versa.

During this presentation you’ll get introduced in the possibilities of this new framework called Vert.x. I’ll explain the foundations of the framework and have a lot of code samples and demo’s to show the polyglot programming model and the distributed event bus.

Prerequisite knowledge

None specific, basic understanding of Java, Groovy, JavaScript and Ruby is nice to have but not required.
