This evening, we will present three excellent lectures:

1. db-scheduler: simple clustered task scheduler
Speaker: Václav Chalupa
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vaclav-chalupa-026bba44/
Description:Scheduled tasks are a fundamental component of applications, serving as triggers for data processing, compensation workers, or data reconciliation mechanisms. The db-scheduler is a powerful task-scheduling library tailored for clustered environments with multiple service replicas. What’s more, it seamlessly integrates with Spring Boot, a popular framework among developers. Let’s walk through how to configure it, create the first tasks, and monitor them. In Kotlin, of course.

2. Why I dislike exceptions - ENG
Speaker: Gabriel Shanahan
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielshanahan/
Description: "Why I Dislike Exceptions" delves into the topic of error handling in programming, focusing on the drawbacks of exception-based approaches. The talk focuses on uncovering the pitfalls of exceptions, taking detours into the world of traditional goto statements, structured concurrency, error segmentation, and functional programming alternatives. This talk serves as part one of a two-part series which explores different approaches to error-handling across languages.

3. Highlights from KotlinConf 2024 - ENG
Speaker: Jiří Hermann
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ji%C5%99%C3%AD-hermann-8926a173/
Description: Jiri would like to share with you his experiences and news he brought from KotlinConf 2024.
