10:40am-11:20am (40m) Java: JVM

JRuby: Pushing the Java Platform Further

Charles Nutter (Engine Yard, Inc)

JRuby is just a Ruby implementation for the JVM, right? Wrong! JRuby has gone well beyond other language implementations by supporting arbitrarily-encoded strings, native library calls, reloadable applications, and much more. This talk will explore how JRuby is pushing the JVM and Java platform in new directions, and how you can take advantage of this new power.

11:30am-12:10pm (40m) Java: JVM

Testing in Scala

Daniel Hinojosa (Evolutionnext.com)

The best way to learn a new language happens to be the best way to program - with a test. Learn test-driven development in Scala with this introductory presentation to some of Scala's most popular tools like SBT, Specs, ScalaTest, Borrachio, and Scala Check.

1:30pm-2:10pm (40m) Java: JVM

Seven Things You'll Love About Grails

Tim Berglund (GitHub)

In the bewildering array of Java and JVM frameworks, Grails is emerging as a standard choice in environments ranging from startups to the enterprise. It's a full-stack solution build on rock-solid components, fully relying on convention over configuration, and using the best application language the JVM has yet seen: Groovy. This is the place to be for web apps on the JVM.

2:20pm-3:00pm (40m) Java: JVM

Clojure: Lisp for the Real World

Stuart Sierra (Relevance, Inc.)

Meet Clojure, a new dynamic language for the JVM, with innovative ideas for state management and concurrency.

3:30pm-4:10pm (40m) Java: JVM

Future-proofing Collections: From Mutable to Persistent to Parallel

Martin Odersky (Typesafe)

Multicore processors are on every desk now. How are we going to make use of the extra power they provide? A promising solution is parallel programming using collections. Programing by transforming and aggregating collections is simple and powerful, and can be parallelized well. In this talk I will describe the design principles behind the Scala collections framework which implements these ideas.

4:20pm-5:00pm (40m) Java: Craftsmanship

Coding over Configuration

Robert "r0ml" Lefkowitz (Retired)

Many Java frameworks and servers depend on a maze of twisty XML files wherein many get lost. In a system where the source code is unavailable, such an approach allows for customization. But when you can modify the source, the configuration files are unnecessary. After all, you can make the code do what you want. And it is less verbose and more understandable.

10:40am-11:20am (40m) Java: Trends

Theory of Caching

Greg Luck (Terracotta)

This supplies the theory behind caching and introduces CAP theorem, N * Problem, SOR Coherency Problem, and the tradeoffs made by cache designers, and much more.

11:30am-12:10pm (40m) Java: JVM

Polyglot Persistence for Java Developers - Moving Out of the Relational Comfort Zone

Chris Richardson (Eventuate)

Covers the benefits and drawbacks of using NoSQL databases. Uses a use case from the book POJOS in Action to compare and contrast popular NoSQL databases – Redis, SimpleDB, MongoDB, and Cassandra.

1:30pm-2:10pm (40m) Java: Craftsmanship

Functional Thinking

Neal Ford (ThoughtWorks)

Learning the syntax of a new language is easy, but learning to think under a different paradigm is hard. This session helps you transition from a Java writing imperative programmer to a functional programmer, using Java, Clojure and Scala for examples.

2:20pm-3:00pm (40m)

Implement Your Own JVM Compiler

Ian Dees (Tektronix)

Writing a compiler used to be a big deal. Nowadays, we have an abundance of good tools to help us: parsing frameworks, bytecode generators, and rich runtimes. In this introductory talk, we'll see how to design and implement a rudimentary compiler in about half an hour for a simple programming language on the JVM.

3:30pm-4:10pm (40m) Java: Trends

Java Standards Annoyances

Ben Evans (jClarity), Martijn Verburg (jClarity)

Oracle is evil!! Java and open source are doomed! The standards body is a zombie! .NET is going to eat our lunch. Larry's planning on turning you into pet food for his Velociraptors. You've all heard these types of comments and many Java developers feel out of the loop and powerless to make a difference.

4:20pm-5:00pm (40m) Java: Craftsmanship

Seven Habits of Highly Effective Jenkins Users

Andrew Bayer (CloudBees)

A look at using Jenkins for continuous integration, focusing on three different use cases at three different companies, along with a general update on the state of the project.

Today OpenJDK 6 derived binaries are found in most Linux distributions and OpenJDK 7 is being used for the reference implementation of Java SE 7. Learn about the ongoing work in OpenJDK 6, hear about the new features in JDK 7, and get an overview of the functionality expected in JDK 8.

1:30pm-2:10pm (40m) Java: Cloud

Above the Clouds: Introducing Akka

Martin Odersky (Typesafe)

Akka is using the Actors together with STM to create a unified runtime and programming model for scaling both UP (multi-core) and OUT (grid/cloud). Akka provides location transparency by abstracting away both these tangents of scalability by turning them into an ops task. This gives the Akka runtime freedom to do adaptive automatic load-balancing, cluster rebalancing, replication & partitioning

2:20pm-3:00pm (40m) Java: Trends

The Ghost in the Virtual Machine: A Reference to References

Bob Lee (Square Inc. )

Ever wondered whether you should use a weak reference or a phantom reference? If you answered "yes" or "phantom who?," this is the talk for you. Walk in with a working knowledge of the language, and walk out an expert in references, referents, reclamation and other garbage collection necromancy.

3:30pm-4:10pm (40m) Java: Cloud

Know Your Cirrus From Your Cumulus: How Clouds Differ Beyond Cost And Speed And How That Affects You

Andrew Phillips (jclouds)

As adoption of cloud platforms grows, both in dedicated and "mixed-use" configurations, the original Cloud 1.0 vision of "run anything, anywhere" has been extended and refined to cover a number of considerations that are turning out to be essential across various cloud usage models.

4:20pm-5:00pm (40m) Java: Server

Apache TomEE - Tomcat with a Kick

David Blevins (Apache Software Foundation)

Apache TomEE, pronounced "Tommy", is a simple all-Apache stack aimed at Java EE 6 Web Profile certification where Tomcat is top dog. Built on a plain Tomcat zip file, Apache TomEE fills out the missing pieces in a way that is simple, to-the-point, and focused on the singular task of delivering the Java EE 6 Web Profile in a minimalist fashion. Get more from Tomcat without giving up anything.

10:40am-11:20am (40m) Java: Client

Building Better Clients with Spring

Josh Long (Pivotal)

Today's users expect their applications and data to follow them beyond the web-browser as they go mobile, watch TV, and work with their local operating system environment. In this talk, Josh Long introduces common ways to build these applications and how Spring can help simplify things both on the server side and client side.

11:30am-12:10pm (40m) Java: Client

Android is Client Java

Zigurd Mednieks (Surfaceable.com)

One theme of Programming Android is that Android is now client Java. Client Java is what every Java coder started with when they start learning Java, but then, when it gets down to working for a living, it's all server Java now. So you have millions of coders who are primed for a successful client Java, and many of them work in enterprise IT. How will Android impact the work of Java coders?

1:30pm-2:10pm (40m) Java: Trends

Java Puzzlers—Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel

Josh Bloch (Google), Bob Lee (Square Inc. )

How can they do it? How can Josh Bloch and Bob keep coming up with such great programming puzzlers year after year? They can't! In this, the eighth installment of the perennial crowd pleaser, Click and Hack the Type-It brothers are truly scraping the bottom of the barrel. But some of the dregs they come up with may still astonish, delight, and educate.

2:20pm-3:00pm (40m) Java: Client
