Before the holiday season kicks in, we’re excited to host one more RotterdamJUG meetup in 2024!
And again we've found a new host: WeAreFrank!, an open-source organization focused on developing the Frank!Framework, a Java-based integration tool used by companies across the Netherlands and beyond.

HTMX: Web 1.0 with web 2.0 benefits without the grift of 3.0
HTMX is an upcoming client side library to make rich applications development palatable to backend developers: it puts the HTML back into the development of the web! If you ever wondered how you could make a "true" REST application with HATEOAS, then this library is for you.
HTMX uses attributes to enable HTML elements to send requests and respond to server side rendered HTML content, updating your page dynamically. The library provides many hooks to call into your backend, and JavaScript support to make swapping HTML elements a breeze.
If you're comfortable with generating HTML in your (Java) backend, and want to deliver rich web applications, you definitely should take a look at HTMX, and this session is a good first primer.
What you'll learn:
- What is HTMX
- Why should you consider HTMX for your front-end needs
- Features provided by HTMX
- Demo coding with HTMX + Quarkus
Martijn Dashorst is a Java developer for over 24 years now and still likes it. He loves creating legacy software, and fixing it. Currently fixing a 15 year old trade school Java EE system. Author of Wicket in Action.
Scaling with Hazelcast
Discover how WeAreFrank! tackled the challenge of decoupling the Frank!Framework console to boost horizontal scaling and load balancing. This session dives into integrating Spring 6 dependencies, managing authentication within an open-source framework, and custom-building pub/sub systems for efficient real-time updates. Drawing inspiration from Kafka, a document-streaming solution was built, allowing the console to handle high traffic with flexibility and speed
Niels Meijer is Lead Java Engineer and partner at WeAreFrank!, where he leads the Core Team in enhancing the Frank!Framework, an open-source integration tool built on Java and Spring
