SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: Pragmatic JavaScript

News | Pieter Humphrey | March 11, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA

Speaker: John Hann

So you've been toying around with JavaScript. You have a basic feel for the language but don't quiet feel productive, yet. If so, this talk is for you. We'll peel away the abstractions, libraries, and frameworks to uncover the more interesting fundamentals of JavaScript. Specifically, we'll delve into the following:

  • Prototypal inheritance (and alternatives to classical inheritance)
  • Closures
  • Scope versus context and this
  • Public vs privileged vs private variables
  • Modules
  • Promises / Futures
  • Recent improvements from EcmaScript 5 and 6
  • Functional programming strategies
  • Documentation using JSDoc
  • Testing strategies
  • and more!

Webinar Replay: Spring Data Repositories - Best Practices

News | Pieter Humphrey | March 05, 2014 | ...

Speakers: Oliver Gierke and Thomas Darimont

Slides: https://speakerdeck.com/olivergierke/spring-data-repositories-best-practices

The repository abstraction layer is one of the core pieces of the Spring Data projects. It provides a consistent, interface-based programming model to allow implementing data access layers easily for relational and NoSQL databases. We will have a look at the lessons learned from the application of it in various customer projects and summarize best practices for you to apply in your projects. The session will also discuss advanced features like the Querydsl integration, the integration of custom implementation code as well as hooks into Spring MVC and Spring HATEOAS.

SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: RabbitMQ is the new King

News | Pieter Humphrey | March 04, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA.

Speakers: Alvaro Videla, Jan Machacek

Jan will show how to use RabbitMQ to connect components on different platforms. After a few introductory slides explaining the main concepts, the rest of the talk will be live code. The coding will begin by showing Spring Integration code to connect to RabbitMQ to send and receive messages--think byte[] values back and forth to start with. Jan will then show the real power of RabbitMQ by replacing the RPC server component by native code in C++: we will write image processing component. To make matters even better--faster--we will then use CUDA to perform the image processing. Come to Jan's talk and demo if you want to find out how to use RabbitMQ in the core of your application, especially if your application needs to tie together code on completely different platforms and if it performs heavy number crunching or image processing. You do not need to have deep knowledge of Spring Integration, AMQP or OpenCV, ...; all that you will need is your inner geek.

SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: Spring Integration Internals

News | Pieter Humphrey | March 04, 2014 | ...

Recorded SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA

Speaker: Gary Russell A comprehensive review of message routing within a flow - including

  • exactly how and when replyChannel and errorChannel headers are used
  • how and when these headers apply in an error flow
  • differences between synchronous and asynchronous processing (with task executors and pollers)
  • Use of SpEL (for messagemethod mapping as well as certain "dynamic" config attributes)
  • Type conversion (via SpEL, datatype channels, etc) Implicitly created channels
  • How chains work How messages are mapped to methods when a message arrives at a component
  • How gateway methods are mapped to messages (and a first look at some enhancements we are considering)
  • Options for…

SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: Researching Cancer In the Cloud Using Spring, Neo4J, Mongo and Redis

News | Pieter Humphrey | February 25, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA

Speakers: Smitha Gudur, Manoj Joshi, Redbasin Networks

Cancer/life science drug research models are very rich in relationships, relationship heterogeneity and entity inter-dependencies. Most entity metadata is dynamic and unpredictable making it difficult to fit such models in traditional relational landscape. Redbasin Networks uses a hybrid Nosql strategy that supports composite and rich document metadata that is interconnected pervasively. Cancer and life science data is excessively nested. You will find this useful if you are building complex engineering and/or scientific applications, and need insights on how to merge data from many diverse data-sets and map it to an intuitive and effective graph database model. We will show using code examples how complex metadata can be engineered using Spring, Neo4J and Mongo, to create useful drug insights for the drug researcher, and also provide a platform for technologists to build sophisticated life science applications.

SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: Spring Data Community Lightning Talks

News | Pieter Humphrey | February 25, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA

Speakers: Peter Bell (MongoDB Master), Costin Leau (Elasticsearch), Christoph Strobl (Solr) and Michael Nitschinger (Couchbase)

Spring Data has started as an umbrella project consisting of many individual modules - per supported data store. While some of these data store modules - like the JPA and MongoDB ones - are maintained by Pivotal engineers a lot of community implementations have popped up lately. They build on the foundations of the Spring Data Core module and expose the Spring Data programming model for others stores. The session will feature maintainers and contributors of the community modules for Solr (Christoph Strobl), Elasticsearch (Costin Leau), Couchbase (Michael Nitschinger) and MongoDB (Peter Bell), who will talk about the latest and greatest features of the upcoming releases and give an impression of how they used the APIs of Spring Data Core to build the module.

Webinar Replay: Introduction to Apache Tomcat 8

News | Pieter Humphrey | February 18, 2014 | ...

Speakers: Daniel Mikusa and Stuart Williams

Slides: https://speakerdeck.com/dmikusapivotal/apache-tomcat-8-preview

Apache Tomcat 8 implements new versions of the Servlet, JSP and EL specifications as well as adding support for the new WebSocket specification. Work has also been completed on internal refactoring in a number of areas that will impact a number of Tomcat specific features. This presentation will provide an overview of the changes and new features introduced by both the updated specifications and the Tomcat specific changes. This session will enable attendees to identify the Tomcat 8 features of greatest interest to them and provide them with the information required to start planning their migration to Tomcat 8.

SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: Spring and Sencha - A Match Made In Heaven (or at least the cloud)

News | Pieter Humphrey | February 18, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA

Speakers: Lou Crocker, John Ferguson

Much like Spring burst onto the scene and became a defacto standard for Java, Sencha is vying for a similar role in the world of HTML5. From Ext JS for desktop development, Sencha Touch for mobile, and Sencha Architect as a design tool, it has become a pervasive technology in the new paradigm of multi-client development. In this session we will use our own SpringTrader reference application to illustrate integration techniques of Spring with Sencha. We will go beyond the basic wiring of a REST call with binding results to UI components, and look at mapping the Spring MVC and Sencha MVC architectures, along with other tips and tricks to streamline your mobile application development efforts.

SpringOne2GX Replay: AngularJS, Backbone.js and Client-Centric Design

News | Pieter Humphrey | February 11, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA.

Speakers: Jeremy Grelle, Mattias Niemela, Tim Branyen

As clients have become more capable, developers are revisiting the server-centric page rendering approach and moving the MVC layer, in part or sometimes in whole, onto the client. When building a rich front-end there are an increasing number of choices available. This talk will dive into two emerging choices that are taking the web by storm: AngularJS and Backbone.js. Leaders from both communities will provide an introduction to each technology followed by a round table discussing front-end technology, answering questions from the audience. Special guests from Sencha and cujoJS will join the panel for Q&A.
