Java and Mongo for a fun mapping experience
Steve Citron-Pousty (@TheSteve0, Blog, GitHub)
You have a great idea for quick and interesting mapping application with pins on a map with some basic search. Then you lose interest because of all the pieces to install. NOT ANYMORE! In this workshop we are going to use 1 command to spin up all our infrastructure (EAP and MongoDB). Then write some quick and easy Java EE code to build a REST service on MongoDB. To wrap it up we will use a simple Leaflet application to display the results. You will witness the transformation from idea to cool pinny map in this quick session.

The Path to CDI 2.0
Antoine Sabot-Durand (@antoine_sd, Blog, GitHub)
CDI has proven itself to be a great asset for Java. The many features it provides (dependency injection, contextual lifecycle, configuration, interception, event notification, and more) and the innovative way it provides them (through the use of meta-annotations) explain its rapid adoption. This session reviews the features introduced in CDI 1.1 and 1.2 and discusses improvements planned for CDI 2.0.
