For example, a quantum bit (qubit) may hold the value of 0 or 1, or some combination of those values. When measured, the state of the qubit collapses to either 0 or 1, based upon the probabilities expressed in its hidden quantum state. A simple demonstration, or \u201cquantum party trick\u201d if you will, can shed light on this phenomenon as well as how it is leveraged in quantum computing.<\/p>\n<p>In this session, James Weaver will give an entertaining introduction to quantum computing, After covering a brief history of quantum computers, James will demonstrate key concepts in quantum computing using several party tricks disguised as programs running on a quantum computer. By the end of this session, attendees will have been exposed to concepts and tools that enable them to develop programs that run on quantum computers.<\/p>\n<p>Part of this session will consists of demonstrations using a block-mining application similar to Minecraft. Attendees may choose to download this game and play along before, during, and after the session by following the instructions at QiskitBlocks.org<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Billy Korando<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-280 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/dawscon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/Billy.jpg\" alt=\"Billy\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" \/>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #292b2c;\">Billy is a developer advocate with IBM and has over a decade of experience.

Reactive Streams is an initiative to provide a standard for asynchronous stream processing with non-blocking back pressure. This encompasses efforts aimed at runtime environments that include JVM and Javascript, as well as network protocols. So how do the various library implementations of Reactive Streams, such as Spring Reactor, Reactive Extension (Rx)&#8217;s Observables, and RSocket, stack up against each other?<\/p>\n<p>This presentation will go into some details on how streams leverage on the underlying multicore processor to achieve parallelism. It will then explain the push vs the pull streaming model. It will then use a simple use case with code examples to illustrate the different API usages, as well as runtime processing analysis between a few popular Java implementations of Reactive Streams.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>F\u00e9lix Roberge<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Container Solution Architect\u00a0 at CloudOps<\/strong><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-273 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/dawscon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/Felix.png\" alt=\"Felix\" width=\"171\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/dawscon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/Felix.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/dawscon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/Felix-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/dawscon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/Felix-640x640.png 640w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/dawscon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/Felix-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/dawscon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/Felix-960x960.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 171px) 100vw, 171px\" \/>\n<p>I&#8217;m a programmer, an architect, a technology enthusiasm, a conference speaker among other things that enjoy driving disruption and transformation to face the ever changing industry.

For the most part, from the early days back in the 1940s and 50s up to the present day, the imperative style or writing code as a linear sequence of instructions was the norm. Then along came the object-oriented, which is a refinement of the imperative style. In the last few decades, new programming languages came on the scene that promotes the functional style. During this evolution of programming styles, on the fringe is the actor model, which defines the concept of actors as computational units.<\/p>\n<p>What is interesting from a historical perspective is that the imperative, functional, and actor paradigms have been well known and actively researched since the earliest days of computing and programming. The notion of &#8220;calculating machine,&#8221; the inspiration of imperative programming, goes back to the 1830s! Functional programming has its roots in Lambda Calculus, developed in the 1930s. The actor model, first conceived back in the 1970s, was inspired by physics.<\/p>\n<p>Why is it that the imperative paradigm first became the predominant programming style? Why is it that the functional paradigm took so long to catch the attention of mainstream programmers? Finally, why has the actor model, which many have predicted should be the predominant programming model, struggled to go beyond the fringe?<\/p>\n<p>In this talk, we will look into these questions and then zero in on the actor model. Through a series of code examples and visualizations, we will look at some of the fantastic and often unbelievable things you can build with actors. My goal for this talk is to inspire you to seriously consider the actor model for some of your future projects.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Francis Toth<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-78 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/netbeansday\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/avatar_highres.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"220\" \/>Software developer, convinced agilist and trainer with over 15 years experience developing highly scalable web\/mobile\/backend applications, optimizing work processes and leading dev teams.

Fifteen years ago, my mentor made me realise that maintainable and sustainable design matters immensely. However the amount of principles and best practices one has to know to achieve this is very intimidating. Moreover they tend to be either too vague or way too specific and it requires years and years of practice to be got right. Too often, we end up falling back on &#8220;good enough&#8221; approaches (which can be pretty limited in the long run) or over-complicated ones resulting from a zealous application of the above guidelines. In fact all these principles and best practices share some common ideas which all together form the fundamental set of guidelines we should all know about to write sustainable code.<\/p>\n<p>In this talk, we&#8217;ll look at what Functional Design consists of and how it can lead us to techniques to write better software no matter the paradigm you are used to.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Simon Ritter<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Java Champion<\/strong><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-278 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/dawscon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/SimonRitter-2018.png\" alt=\"SimonRitter-2018\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/dawscon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/SimonRitter-2018.png 512w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/dawscon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/SimonRitter-2018-400x400.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n<p>Simon Ritter is the Deputy CTO of Azul Systems.

We\u2019ll then move on to discuss the three critical features of the Zing JVM that address these issues:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The C4 garbage collector, which eliminates GC pauses that affect the performance of an application even after all hot code paths have been compiled and optimised.<\/li>\n<li>The Falcon JIT compiler that leverages the LLVM open source project to provide optimisations specific to the newest CPU architectures using features like AVX2.<\/li>\n<li>ReadyNow!, which allows details of speculative optimisations and JIT profiling to be logged on production systems. ReadyNow! profiles can then be used to substantially reduce the warmup and deoptimisation issues that affect performance when restarting an application.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Local Variable Type Inference: Friend or Foe?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Local variable type inference was introduced as a new Java language feature in Java SE 10. Gone are the days of explicitly having to define the type of a variable; let the compiler do it for you with the magic of var!<\/p>\n<p>At first sight, this looks like a small change that will eliminate unnecessary boiler-plate code and reduce how much typing (on the keyboard) is required to maintain strong typing (of the language). However, as with many features, there are some unexpected nuances as well as both good and bad use cases.<\/p>\n<p>In this session, we\u2019ll explain the fundamentals of local variable type inference and look at the edge cases where it can, can\u2019t, should and should not be used.

Let&#8217;s have a look together.<\/p>\n<p>We will go through different examples. The idea is not fully to understand the model (nobody does) but to have solid examples that work. To spend less time looking at a concurrency idiom wondering if you are safe or not.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Ryan Cuprak<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-222 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/dawscon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/Ryan.jpg\" alt=\"Ryan\" width=\"176\" height=\"176\" \/>\n<p>Ryan Cuprak\u00a0is an CPG &amp; Retail, Formulation R&amp;D Development Senior Manager at\u00a0Dassault Systemes, co-author\u00a0EJB in Action 2nd\u00a0Edition\u00a0from Manning and\u00a0the\u00a0NetBeans Certification Guide\u00a0from McGrall-Hill.
