my first ever time on the big stage at javaone

Every year, JavaOne has a community keynote. Last time, it included a skit for a lot of people in the Java community. This year, it was a number of segments. I was asked to be in one about Java authors. Maurice Naftalin and I each got to answer two short questions about writing/our books. Mine were

  1. Why did you decide to write a book?
  2. How does studying for the certification exam

We were given the questions in advance so we could have a prepared succinct answer. While the answer was content reviewed, we didn’t have to stick to it word for word.

The keynote was on the main stage and quite a production. It was really cool to see the behind the scenes. They even had a make up person to ensure everyone looked good on camera.

I speak twice for about a minute each at the timestamps in each of these videos:

And then at the end everyone who spoke at the community keynote got to go back on stage at the end. This video is that moment timestamped.

First post-COVID JavaOne! They did a great job of making places for developers to connect, something we’ve been missing. The exhibit hall had a big space for games, sitting and networking. I won a stuffed dolphin in the claw game. And I got to spent *a lot* of time networking/hallway track

setup for HOL-4957 – Automating Your CI/CD Stack with Java and Groovy

Posted on by

Scott and I’ll be leading a hands on lab “Automating your Ci/CD Stack with Java and Groovy” at Oracle Code One. This is a BYOL (bring your own laptop) lab.

If you run into any trouble setting up for the lab, you can post a comment on this blog post or start a thread in the Cloud/Virtualization forum at CodeRanch.

This lab requires the following:

  1. Docker
  2. Docker images
  3. Enough disk space
  4. The ability to run curl
  5. Optional: JDK 8
  6. Optional: Groovy

1 – Docker

To install Docker, follow the instructions at: https://docs.docker.com/install/

Validation:

At the command line, run docker –version. (Small version differences are ok in the output)

$ docker --version

Docker version 18.06.0-ce, build 0ffa825

2 – Docker images

These images a little under 2GB combined. So as not to tax the conference network, please pull them in advance. This will also let you deal with any corporate internet proxies while you are still at work and can ask for help.

At the command line run:

docker pull sonatype/nexus3:3.13.0

docker pull jenkins/jenkins:2.146

docker pull sonarqube:7.1

 Note: “latest” will probably work. These version numbers are the ones we tested with.

4 – The ability to run curl

If you are running Mac, Linux or Windows 10, you don’t need to do anything. If you are running an older version of Windows, you can install Cygwin.

5 – Optional: JDK

If you want to run groovy locally, JDK 8 (not higher) needs to be in your path. It is possible to do the lab without having Groovy installed.

6 – Optional: Groovy

Follow the instructions at: http://groovy-lang.org/install.html

Note: Please download Groovy 2.X rather than 3.X. Version 3.X is in alpha at the time of writing this lab.

Validation:

At the command line, run groovy –version.(Small version differences are ok in the output)

$ groovy -version

Groovy Version: 2.5.2 JVM: 1.8.0_45 Vendor: Oracle Corporation OS: Mac OS X

4 – Disk space

This lab uses about 2 Gigabytes of disk space (not counting Docker itself.) The last step of the lab explains how to recover disk space.

Validation

At the command line, run curl https://www.oracle.com/code-one/index.html and ensure the output isn’t an error message.
