Automate your development process in the cloud using the Pivotal technology stack.

Overview

Software is eating the world. Many of today's most successful businesses are software businesses, able to iterate and deliver new value to their customers faster and faster. Can you keep up? It's tempting to think that these organizations are all startups and that anything is easy at that size, but that would be a mistake that ignores the likes of Google, Amazon, Twitter, Apple, Netflix, and more. These organizations continue to excel at innovation. How?

These organizations, and many others, work hard to reduce the cost of change. They are agile. That agility permeates everything they do from culture to code and results in value for their users.

Join Josh Long and Marcin Grzejszczak in this video, and learn how to continuously deliver software like the pros with the Pivotal stack and culture using tools like Spring Boot, Cloud Foundry, Concourse, Spring Cloud Contracts, and so much more.

About the Instructors

Josh Long, Spring Developer Advocate at Pivotal and Java Champion, is a lead author, or co-author, on five books on Spring for Apress and O'Reilly, a frequent speaker at conferences worldwide, a JavaOne rockstar, and also the instructor on three Spring LiveLessons videos. He is a contributor to various Spring projects (including Spring Boot) and an all-around Spring fan. When he’s not hacking on code for SpringSource, he can be found at the local Java User Group or the local coffee shop. Josh likes solutions that push the boundaries of the technologies that enable them. His interests include scalability, BPM, grid processing, mobile computing, and so-called "smart" systems. He blogs at spring.io/blog or joshlong.com. You can follow Josh on Twitter @starbuxman.

Marcin Grzejszczak is a software engineer at Pivotal. He has written two books, Mockito Instant and Mockito Cookbook. Marcin is co-founder of the Warsaw Cloud Native Meetup. Currently he is working as lead of the Spring Cloud Sleuth, Spring Cloud Contract, and Spring Cloud Pipelines projects. You can follow Marcin on Twitter @mgrzejszczak.
