Hey! Coming to my talk at SpringOne 2GX on Wednesday? Do this before you arrive:
git clone https://github.com/cbeams/s2gx.git
cd s2gx
./gradlew run
The app doesn't do anything at the moment. I'll push the actual code onstage. Then everyone participating will do this:
git pull
./gradlew --offline run
The app that you run will be a puzzle, and you'll be in a race with everyone else's CPUs to solve it. The first few to solve it and send me the solution via email will get a reward. I'll explain both the puzzle and the reward during the talk.
The reason to clone and run the app now is to download its dependencies ahead of time. If you're doing that during the race, you'll definitely lose :)
The only requirements are git and JDK 8. But you're a SpringOne attendee, so you already have both installed... right?
See you tomorrow!
