"No more
hops! - towards a linearly scalable application infrastructure."
Abstract:
This talk
focuses on the
architecture and the patterns implemented behind the scenes that enable
the GigaSpaces XAP (ZAP) platform to scale linearly and still provide a
rich and fault-tolerant programming model.
Spring Audiences:
Learn how to
leverage the
simplicity and consistency of Spring and achieve the scalability of
Google. Understand the programming paradigm known as SBA and Discover
what the power of Transparent Partitioning and Colocation can do for
applications ranging from Logistics to Order Processing to Algorithmic
Trading.

Using Groovy beans in a Spring MVC application - Thomas Risberg (Spring committer) |
|
Groovy is a great language for scripting validators and web
controllers. One benefit is that changes to the script can be
picked up automatically without restarting the application. We
will cover the basic steps involved including integrating Groovy
closures with Spring's TransactionTemplate. |
| 7:45pm-9:00pm |
Introduction to Grails - Jason Rudolph (Grails committer) |
|
Grails is an open-source web application framework
that’s all about getting things done. Grails combines
best-of-breed Java technologies (including Hibernate and Spring),
convention over configuration, and the powerful and dynamic Groovy
language. Together with these elements and Groovy's ability to
seamlessly integrate with your existing Java code, Grails finally
legitimizes rapid web application development for the Java platform.
In this presentation, we'll see first-hand how to use Grails to build a
fully-functioning and flexible web application in minimal time.
As we develop the application, we'll explore the Grails project
structure, its MVC elements, and the power of dynamic methods.
We'll see how Groovy’s highly-expressive nature allows us to
write concise code, and Grails’s use of sensible defaults
(à la convention over configuration) saves us from much of the
coding and configuration we’d otherwise face with many
traditional frameworks. |

help trains move more efficiently throughout North America. He
recently delivered an industry-wide inspection reporting and management
system relied on for operational safety by Fortune 500 railroads,
equipment leasing companies, and the Federal Railroad Administration.
Jason is the author of the upcoming book titled, "Getting Started with
Grails." Jason's interests include dynamic languages, lightweight
development methodologies, improving developer productivity, and a
quest to keep programming fun. It’s these interests that
led Jason to become a Grails committer and evangelist.

The Spring Framework is rapidly advancing as the leading technology
behind today’s generation of lightweight container
architectures. In fact, many credit the success of Spring as a key
force in the movement toward simplified enterprise development. Each
day, IT organizations are reaching new heights in application quality
and developer productivity thanks to Spring’s rich
abstraction of the Java Enterprise API’s. As a result, more
companies are relying on Spring to power high volume, mission-critical
applications.
Chariot
Solutions and springdeveloper.com
are proud to sponsor a unique learning opportunity for those interested
in the Spring Framework. We have assembled many of the leading
authorities on Spring including Raminvas Laddad,
Matt Raible, Bram
Smeets, Thomas Risberg and
others into a one-day event that is certain to be full of valuable
insights and education.
