Presentations
Programming Java Concurrency
Java has always provided a model for concurrency and threads. With Java 1.5, this model received a major facelift. Learn how to use the new concurrency utilities to build responsive, scalable, and correct concurrent applications.
Simpler Builds and Deployment with Ruby Rake and RubyGems
Have fun automating your builds and deployment!
Web Services on Rails
Using the Action WebService pack that ships with Rails, you can rapidly create robust web services with the same productivity you see when developing classic web applications with Rails.
Cryptography for Programmers
For centuries people have used crypto to build (and break) secure systems. Computers have only raised the pitch of conflict, providing enormous cryptographic power at commodity prices. Most programmers do not write their own crypto libraries, instead relying on the services of an operating system or virtual machine. But even with all this support, building secure systems is a daunting task.
