Research Triangle Software Symposium

August 24 - 26, 2012

Saturday - Aug 25 3:15 PM EDT - Salon D

The book Enterprise Integration Patterns gave us a consistent vocabulary and notation with which to describe solutions to common integration problems that arise in the modern enterprise. Spring Integration (http://www.springsource.org/spring-integration) harnesses that vocabulary, providing a very natural extension to the well-known Spring programming model that enables the construction of loosely-coupled, messaging-based applications that can also integrate with services in the wild via a variety declarative adapters for heavily used protocols. This talk will provide an overview of the Spring Integration framework, it's relationship to the patterns, and to the problems they aim to solve. We'll also look at several integrated case studies.

Topics covered will include:

Framework background, goals and principles
Messages, Channels and Endpoints
Transformers
Filters
Routers
Splitters and Aggregators
Service Activators
Channel Adapters (Feeds, Files, FTP/FTPS, HTTP, Mail, TCP/UDP, JDBC, JMS, RMI, SFTP, Twitter, …)
Integrated Case Studies

I Enable Early-Career Enterprise Software Engineers to Continuously Improve

About Matt Stine

My passion is taking a metaphysical approach to software engineering: what is the nature of the collaborative game that we continuously play, and are there better, more contextually-aware ways to play that game?

By day I lead a team tasked with taking a first-principles-centric approach to intentionally enabling programming language usage at the largest bank in the United States.

By night I write and teach my way through a masterclass in software engineering and architecture targeting early-career software engineers working in large-scale enterprise technology organizations.

What is the primary goal?

To win the game. More seriously: to get 1% better every day at providing business value through software.

Who am I?

I'm a 22-year veteran of the enterprise software industry. I've played almost every role I can imagine:

Software Engineer
Software Architect
Technical Lead
Engineering Manager
Consultant
Product Manager
Field CTO
Developer Advocate
Conference Speaker
Author
Technical Trainer
Technical Marketer
Site Reliability Engineer
Desktop Support Specialist

I've worked at Fortune 500 companies, a tenacious teal cloud startup, and a not-for-profit children's hospital. I've written a book, and I've hosted a podcast. I've learned a lot along the way, including many things I wish I'd known when I first got started. And so now I want to pass those learnings on to you, especially if you've only just begun your career.
