Foojay Podcast #76: DevBcn Report, Part 1 – Learn from the Community
What does the Java community sound like when you put a microphone in front of it at a Barcelona conference? In early July, DevBcn brought together speakers and visitors from across the ecosystem, and Geertjan Wielenga carried a recorder through the venue to capture their answers. We hear about favorite parts of Java, the impact of AI on daily coding, and the topics that pull developers toward new tools and ideas. This is part one of the DevBcn Report, hosted by Geertjan Wielenga with organizers Nacho Cougil and Jonathan Vila, plus more than twenty community members, in Foojay Podcast #76.
