Part 2: Java 8 for Pis, Legos, and the Internet of Things
This is not your grandfather's Java ME. Deep dive and demonstration on the new Java Embedded support for ARM processors. We will demonstrate the full power of Java 8 with lambdas running on embedded devices such as Raspberry Pi and PandaBoard, the new Lego Mindstorms EV3, and powering the Internet of Things with embeddable ARM processors. See end-to-end coding on devices, discuss coding practices for building performant applications, and learn how to kick-start your own crowd-sourced device project. Authors: Vinicius Senger Working with software development the last 20 years Senger founded Globalcode, the largest Brazilian educational center specialized in software development. Senger had presented more than 200 talks about Software Development, Java, Java EE and open-source hardware. His project jHome, home automation API based on Java EE, won the Duke's Choice Award 2011 and nowadays he is working on putting Java and open-source hardware together. Stephen Chin Stephen Chin is a technical expert in RIA technologies, and Chief Agile Methodologist at GXS. He coauthored the Apress Pro JavaFX Platform title, which is the leading technical reference for JavaFX, and is lead author of the Pro Android Flash title. In addition, Stephen runs the very successful Silicon Valley JavaFX User Group, which has hundreds of members and tens of thousands of online viewers, and also is co-organizer for the Flash on Devices User Group. Finally, he is a Java Champion, chair of the OSCON Java conference, and an internationally recognized speaker featured at Devoxx, Jazoon, and JavaOne, where he received a Rock Star Award.

Simon has been in the IT business since 1984 and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Brunel University in the U.K. Originally working in the area of UNIX development for AT&T UNIX System Labs and then Novell, Simon moved to Sun in 1996. At this time he started working with Java technology and has spent time working both in Java technology development and consultancy. Having moved to Oracle as part of the Sun acquisition he now focuses on the core Java platform and Java for client applications. He also continues to develop demonstrations that push the boundaries of Java for applications like gestural interfaces.
