House of Codes, just because Norwegian dudes imitating an American Southern accent is pretty awesome.

Just a heads-up, the Game of Codes trailer is / might be NSFW, which makes sense as it's a GoT spoof.

I'd amend that to be "is definitely NSFW," and also the least funny.

Am I converting wrong or the ticket to the conference actually is 950,830942 Euros ?
Foxboron
with VAT the ticket cost 7737,50 NOK. Which is indeed about ~950 Euros

For anyone else reading; here, the comma (,) is a decimal point, not something like a thousand separator.

The production values for those trailers are pretty high...

Writing Bad, because MapReduce that's why.

These are insanely well produced!

Who produced them? There are no credits.

They are made by javaBin, the norwegian Java User Group who are the organizers behind JavaZone: http://java.no

The production of the videos are done by the norwegian producer company Seefood: http://www.seefood.no

The Breaking Bad one was funniest. "I'm the one who was using Lambdas before they were cool."

Why are all three videos fueled by icky male power fantasies? :(

Lots of nice detail as well.

In the house of code one the protagonist is writing up the HeartBeatMessage class from the bouncycastle tls library: https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/blob/master/core/src/main/j...

in the Breaking Bad one has some java code that evaluates to his name on the tablet.

    public class JavaDoc {
      public String name() {
        return asList('I', 'x',
                      '`', 'u',
                      '`', 'a',
                      'x', 'd',
                      'q', 'f')
                      .stream()
                      .filter(c -> c != 120)
                      .map(c -> (char) (c + 1))
                      .map(c -> "" + c)
                      .reduce((a, b) -> a + b)
                      .get();
      }
    }
