Jim Grisanzio from Oracle Java Developer Relations talks with Luiz Real, an engineer and college professor from the SouJava Community in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Luiz came to JavaOne 2026 for the first time this year to build relationships, catch up on the latest technical features in Java, and to mix with the Java Champions. He says building those connections is something you can only do in person at a conference like this. "JavaOne for me is a career changing thing," he says. In this conversation Luiz also talks about teaching Java to students, the opportunities for Java developers in the world of AI, and the massive community of Java developers in Brazil.
