Cool Web Apps with Grails, Groovy and Next-Gen Scripting Languages

Part1: Cool Web Apps with Grails, Groovy and Next-Gen Scripting Languages

Speaker : Bill Grosso
Abstract:
The rise of next-generation languages that run on top of the JVM is probably the most
interesting thing to happen in the Java universe since the combination of the Spring
framework and the EJB 2 specification signalled the complete implosion of the Enterprise
Sofware Stack

In this talk, I’ll cover, in sequence:

* A brief overview of the state of the art of web application development
* A brief overview of Groovy, one of the most interesting of the next-gen languages
available on the JVM.
* A brief overview of Grails, the best web-application framework currently available
(where “best” is, of course, highly idiosyncratic)
* The source code to an actual working web application written in Groovy/Grails.

Part2: GORM (Object Relational Framework with Groovy)
Speaker: Chris Richarson

The role of Service Oriented UI Architecture in the world of web, desktop and mobile applications

December 2nd 2008, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM

Where

Cubberly Community Center
4000 Middlefield Road, Room H-1
Palo Alto, California 94105

Agenda

6:30-7:00 Doors open. Networking.
7:00-9:00 Presentations.

Price

$15 for non-members and free for members.

Abstract

Appcelerator is one of the fastest growing open source platforms for building rich web applications using a Service Oriented UI architecture.

This presentation will discuss the challenges and opportunities developers are faced with in the emerging area of building applications for a variety of different environments such as Web, Desktop and Mobile.

The presentation will focus on two key methodologies to assist in these challenges: Service Oriented UI (SOUI) architecture and Interactive Use Cases and how they play a key role in developing next generation rich applications.

The presentation will include a live demonstration of writing a simple application based on this architecture and methodology approach. All coding during the presentation will be done live and will show the ability to build an application using Appcelerator that attempts to solve the problems on building and deploying rich applications for different application environments.

Presenter

Jeff Haynie is a serial entrepreneur and has over 20 years of experience in software development. He is an active open source developer and co-founder and CEO of Appcelerator. Jeff previously was a core developer on JBoss and authored JBoss Remoting, a key foundation in the distribution remoting layer of JBoss. Jeff also previously worked on the W3C and IETF working groups in development of various standards. Jeff blogs at http://blog.jeffhaynie.us and on twitter @jhaynie.

 

GridGain 2.0 – Grid Computing Made Simple

November 4th 2008, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM

Where

Cubberly Community Center
4000 Middlefield Road, Room H-1
Palo Alto, California 94105

Agenda

6:30-7:00 Doors open. Networking.
7:00-9:00 Presentations.

Price

$15 for non-members and free for members.

Abstract

GridGain is the fastest growing open source Java grid computing framework. The presentation will reveal how its focus on elegant simplicity and Enterprise Java integration is helping to revolutionize the grid computing for Java in the same way as Spring or JBoss have changed Enterprise Java landscape.

The presentation will start with a brief introduction to grid computing and specifically data and compute grids. MapReduce will be discussed. Real-life examples will also be discussed. Following introduction to grid computing presentation will outline the key features of GridGain 2.0 highlighting simplicity of the usage.

To underscore the topic of presentation it will also include live demonstration of writing a simple application and grid enabling it to run on a small grid right in front of the audience. All coding during demonstration will be done live. Detailed and in-depth explanations will highlight that grid computing in Java can be fun, simple and productive to use in everyday applications and systems.

Presenter

Nikita Ivanov has over 15 years of experience in software development and over 7 years of developing grid computing and distributed middleware, a vision and pragmatic view of where development technology is going, and high quality standards in software engineering.

Back in 1996, Nikita was one of the pioneers in using Java technology for server side middleware development while working at T-Systems GmbH, one of the largest European System Integrator.

Mobile Internet and Scalable Backend Architecture using ehcache and EJB 3.0

Tuesday September 2, 2008 from 6:30pm – 9:30pm

Price: $15

Abstract:

The key challenges of building web-enabled mobile apps are the user experience and the ability to scale-out to millions of users. The term “carrier grade” is often used to refer to software that can scale and respond quickly in the mobile environment. Typically, this involves building software that employs smart caching and a server setup that enables processing to be distributed to many nodes. This problem is not unique to the mobile web. In a recent blog about Facebook apps, Tim O’Reilly highlighted that only a handful of widgets can support millions of users. The widget usages form a long-tailed graph. He suggested that a lack of high availability and scalability are the main reasons so many widgets fall on the long tail. Are we going to see the same long-tail graph with iPhone apps? Mo’Blast has built such a software stack using ehcache and EJB 3.0. This talk will explore what Mo’Blast has done, why it made the choices it did, and what the challenges are in carrying out this type of development.

Presenter:
Kevin Leong is an entreprenuer and adjunct professor in software engineering at San Jose State University (SJSU). He is the founder and CEO of Mo’Blast and RadarAD where he and his team of engineers have developed a cloud computing platform and a common mobile client layer that enables the creation of location-based and mobile apps quickly and efficiently. Prior to founding Mo’Blast, Kevin was involved with another mobile start up, Proxinet, and held various technical leadership positions at IBM.

At the university and within his engineering team, Kevin has been pioneering deep and innovative thinking on location based services, mobile social networking, carrier-grade web and cloud computing platforms.

Kevin’s recent speaking appearances have included JavaOne, Ars Electronica, (Lintz), Mobile Web Megatrends at UC Berkeley, and the Symbian S60 summit (Barcelona). Kevin has an MBA from Haas, UC Berkeley and a technical degree from the University of Texas.
