Abstract

This is not your grandfather’s Java ME. Deep dive and demonstration on the new Java SE Embedded support for ARM processors. We will demonstrate the full power of Java SE 8 running on consumer tablets (iOS/Android), embedded devices such as Raspberry Pi and PandaBoard, and the new Lego Mindstorms EV3, all of which use low power ARM chips. See end-to-end coding on devices, discuss coding practices for building performant applications, and get the low down on what is supported and what is not.

Jim Weaver is co-presenting this session.
