Mark's talk topics

Mark Heckler: I talk about how to solve problems better. Most of that revolves around using Spring or different components that may be considered within the framework, like Spring Data, Spring Boot, or Spring Cloud.

Geertjan Wielenga: What kind of reaction do you get to the economics talk and also to your Spring talks?

Mark Heckler: The economics talk is a little bit of an outlier. You have people who are looking for something very specific, like a better way to communicate with their management, finance teams, or business units. I get a really good response from them. For the Spring-based talks, there are many problems that are out there that, regardless of their industry, people are trying to solve: better communication, less latency, and more scalability.

The Spring talks fit really well with those topics, so I get good feedback.

Geertjan Wielenga: Are there other activities that are part of your role as a developer advocate?
