GCD: Building

Groovy Continuous Delivery Series on Building a Java Project. A key part of continuous delivery is reproducibility, which means build scripts and scripting. This is a session on Gradle, the groovy way to manage your build system.

GCD: Deployment and Monitoring

Groovy Continuous Delivery Series on Deployment and Monitor though groovy scripts and GLU.

What if you could “test” your production release before production? One of the answers to the last mile of continuous delivery is GLU. GLU is an open source project for deployment automation.

GCD: Groovy

Groovy Continuous Delivery Series on Groovy. If there is a sweet spot for the language groovy it is testing, building and script automation. In order to maximize those tools, you need to know Groovy. That is what this session is all about.

GCD: Testing and Quaity

Groovy Continuous Delivery Series on Unit Test, Continuous Integrations and Code Quality applied to a Java Web Development Environment.

Web Application Security Workshop

As a web application developer, most of the focus is on the user stories and producing business value for your company or clients. Increasingly however the world wide web is more like the wild wild web which is an increasingly hostile environment for web applications. It is absolutely necessary for web application teams to have security knowledge, a security model and to leverage proper security tools.

Hacking Workshop

The net has cracks and crackers are among us. With all the news of security failures, it can be a challenge to know what is FUD and what is really at risk and to what extent. This session isn’t about hacking an application together nor is it about coding a solution. It is about looking at the network and network infrastructure and understanding some of its weaknesses. This workshop is a 50% mix of lecture / discussion and hands on attacking in order to best understand the challenges.

Complexity of Complexity

Of all the non-functional requirements of software development, complexity receives the least attention and seems to be the most important from a long term standard point. This talk will look at some of forces that drive complexity at the code level and at a system level and their impact. We will discuss what causes us to over look complexity, how our perception of it changes over time and what we can do about it?

Continuous Delivery Best Practices

There is a new “movement” in software development circles called DevOps. It is about the automation of development best practices as well as the automation of the deployment pipeline. Answer this question, “How long does it take your organization or team to push 1 line code of change into production?” That’s what this session is all about.
