Presentations
The Modern Enterprise Java Development Environment
In this session we'll look at what a modern Java/Java EE environment could and should look like. This session is a survey of the software infrastructure that needs to be in place to create a productive and successful development environment. Version control, continuous integration, metrics and static code analysis and more.
Learn what needs to be setup early, what can wait, and what can be sourced out and how to deal with privacy and security issues.
Tools and Techniques to build Smart Java Applications
In this session we will explore the Java tools, techniques and algorithms that enable us to filter, classify, relate and discover patterns in our data that might not immediately obvious. With the emergence of social networking applications a great deal of data and hidden connections that can be leveraged to build better and smarter applications.
Groovy on the Cloud
In this session we'll talk about how the combination of cloud computing a flexible, lightweight dynamic language like Groovy and a few architectural and design principles can be used to create highly scalable and maintainable web applications.
In this session we'll look into EC2 and other cloud offerings and what Groovy offers to tap into the power of commodity cloud computing platforms.
NoSQL Round Up
In our industry the database is king and we we say database, more often than not we mean “relational database”. This talk is a survey of the many alternatives to a relational database and the situations in which they can (and sometimes must) be used.
In this talk we'll discuss systems like MongoDB, CouchDB, Neo4J, Cassandra and others and how can they be used with your existing Java infrastructure
