Our software is more complex than ever: applications must be reliable, predictable, and easy to use to meet modern expectations. As developers, this means our responsibilities have grown while the things we can control have stayed the same. In order to better understand our systems and create truly modern software, we need observability.

This workshop will walk through what observability means for Java developers and how to achieve it in our systems with the least amount of work using the open source observability project OpenTelemetry.

TED YOUNG

Katy Farmer
Developer Relations Manager - LightStep
Katy lives in Oakland, CA with her husband and two dogs (at least one of whom talks to her about fun, technical stuff), but has lived in lots of places from East Coast to West Coast. She loves to experiment with code, break stuff, and try to fix it. Over the years, she's been an editor, juice bar barista, IT technician, and manual laborer, so she's learned to fail and try again in a lot of industries. Ask her about Ruby, OOP, Go, video game development, Russian Literature, Star Wars, Dragon Age, or chord progressions - she'll be your friend right away.

What You’ll Learn in This Webinar

You’ve probably written a hundred abstracts in your day, but have you come up with a template that really seems to resonate? Go back through your past webinar inventory and see what events produced the most registrants. Sure – this will vary by topic but what got their attention initially was the description you wrote.

Paint a mental image of the benefits of attending your webinar. Often times this can be summarized in the title of your event. Your prospects may not even make it to the body of the message, so get your point across immediately.  Capture their attention, pique their interest, and push them towards the desired action (i.e. signing up for your event). You have to make them focus and you have to do it fast. Using an active voice and bullet points is great way to do this.

Always add key takeaways. Something like this....In this session, you’ll learn about:

  • You know you’ve cringed at misspellings and improper grammar before, so don’t get caught making the same mistake.
  • Get a second or even third set of eyes to review your work.
  • It reflects on your professionalism even if it has nothing to do with your event.
