This is an interactive, hands-on workshop focused on Platform as a Service (PaaS) and the impact on Java developers caused by cloud computing. How does development in the cloud affect your career? How can you leverage existing Java skills in the cloud? What about PaaS – is it an opportunity or just a lot of hype? This workshop will give you a chance to try out building, testing and running Java apps in the cloud: with a focus on what professional Java developers need to know - using Git SCM repositories, running Jenkins CI as a service for continuous integration testing, managing persistence with cloud-based database services and more.
