Denver · July 16 - 19, 2013
Software Developer, Author and Open Source Advocate
Dan is an open source advocate, community catalyst, software generalist, author and speaker. Most of the time, he's hacking using some JVM language. He leads the Asciidoctor project and serves as the community liaison for Arquillian. He builds on these experiences to help make a variety of open source projects wildly successful, including Asciidoctor, Arquillian, Opal and JBoss Forge.
Dan is the author of Seam in Action (Manning, 2008) and has written articles for NFJS, the Magazine, IBM developerWorks, Java Tech Journal and JAXenter. He's also an internationally recognized speaker, having presented at major software conferences including JavaOne, Devoxx, NFJS, UberConf, RWX, JAX and jFokus. He's recognized as a JavaOne Rock Star and Java (JVM) Champion.
After a long conference day, you'll likely find Dan geeking out about technology, documentation and testing with fellow community members over a Trappist beer or Kentucky Bourbon.
Presentations
Drop the Angled Brackets. Discover the Zen of Writing (Ascii)Docs.
Writing documentation is hard enough. Why do we insist on making it harder by burying the content in an XML schema like DocBook or wrestling with finicky WSYWIG editors? Come learn how to achieve writing zen with AsciiDoc and use Asciidoctor to produce beautiful HTML 5, DocBook and PDF documents–or even a slide deck like the one used in this presentation!
Continuous Enterprise Development in Java Workshop
How many times have you wanted to start a new project in Java EE, but struggled with copying and pasting all the pieces together? Forge can take you from 0 to Java EE, Spring, GWT and more in few swift keystrokes.
But, are you confident enough to push your application to production right now? Will it deploy? Integrate all the components? Keep the fail whale at bay? Confidence comes from tests. Real tests written with Arquillian.
In this workshop, you'll learn how to achieve continuous development using Forge to automate mundane tasks and Arquillian to write real tests. Together, let's build an application, test it, and deploy it both locally and to the cloud! Let's learn to use tools to make us more confident developers.
