brings coffee into Java

The monthly meetups for Java professionals who would like to be interactive and allow technology enthusiasts to learn from other professionals, have questions answered in real-time, discover new tech and solutions.

CoffeeJUG: Java Anniversary

The Evolution From Monolith to Microservices to Serverless and Beyond

By Hugh McKee

If you are a developer or an architect, the odds are that you grew up building systems that are now commonly known as monoliths. In the last few years, we've seen a significant evolutionary shift to systems composed of microservices. Today we are witnessing the birth of serverless. The rate of evolutionary change is accelerating. But what is changing, and what remains the same? In this talk, we will look at the evolution from the monolith to serverless seeking to extract the variables and the constants. We will also look at the progression from serverless to an inevitable future of frictionless computing.

Machine Learning: The Bare Math Behind Libraries (Unsupervised Part)

By Piotr Czajka

Within unsupervised learning, you will become familiar with Hebb’s learning and learning with concurrency (winner takes all and winner takes most algorithms). We will use Octave for examples in this session; however, you can use your favorite technology to implement presented ideas.

Our aim is to show the mathematical basics of neural networks for those who want to start using machine learning in their day-to-day work or use it already but find it difficult to understand the underlying processes. After viewing our presentation, you should find it easier to select parameters for your networks and feel more confident in your selection of network type, as well as be encouraged to dive into more complex and powerful deep learning methods.
