If you are not using Claude Code for your development in 2026 you are seriously missing out on a massive speedup in your development workflow! Ever since the Claude Opus 4.5 release the Claude Code CLI has sped up my development workflow immensely. From planning a whole Spring Security 7 migration by getting interviewed to letting Ralph Wiggum implement it the experience has been mesmerizing. In this session I will walk you through the most productive patterns I learned. Afterwards you know how to create your own CLAUDE.MD and leverage skills, agents and whatever the Claude Team have cooked up till April. I cannot tell you what the best workflow in 4 weeks is much less in 4 months. But I’m convinced that if you don’t keep up to date you are going to be left behind.

jvmskills.com — AI coding skills from the engineers who build the JVM ecosystem. Skills are opinionated best-practice guides that AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) use as context when writing code. The directory helps JVM developers discover, evaluate, and adopt high-quality skills for their stack. Why? AI coding tools are only as good as their context. Without guidance, they generate code that works but doesn't follow the patterns a senior engineer would use. jvm-skills fills that gap with strongly opinionated best practices. General skill directories exist (playbooks.com, skills.sh, skillsdirectory.com), but they're not focused on a specific ecosystem — and many of the top-installed skills are surprisingly shallow. The most popular Spring Boot skill on skills.sh has 9.8K installs and just tells the AI to "use Spring Boot best practices." That's not a skill — Claude already does that without one. jvm-skills only lists skills that teach the

Spring wird in der Regel nur für die Entwicklung von JSON-API-Backends verwendet, während das Web-Frontend mit einem JavaScript-Framework erstellt wird. Mit HTMX können wir interaktive Webanwendungen mit serverseitig gerenderten Vorlagen ohne JavaScript erstellen. In diesem Vortrag erhältst du eine Einführung in HTMX und serverseitiges Rendering mit Spring. Du lernst, wie du bekannte und bewährte Muster aus der Backend-Entwicklung nutzen kannst, um eine Full-Stack-Anwendung mit wiederverwendbaren Komponenten zu erstellen.

Spring is typically only used for JSON API backend development, while the web frontend is built with a JavaScript framework. htmx enables us to create interactive web applications with server-side rendered templates without JavaScript. In this talk, you will get an introduction to htmx and server-side rendering with Spring. You will learn to use patterns you know and love from building backends to create a full-stack application with reusable components.
