The recently released 2.0 version has given the Spring LDAP project a significant facelift. With new features like Spring Data Repository and QueryDSL support, a fluent LDAP query builder, and XML namespace configuration, LDAP administration applications can now be built more efficiently than ever. This webinar will provide an overview of the goals and scope of Spring LDAP and demonstrate all the improvements in version 2.0, giving you plenty of hands-on tips along the way on how to make maximum use of the library.

As the complexity of web and mobile apps increases, so does the importance of ensuring that your client-side resources load and execute in an optimal and efficient manner. Differences in resource loading techniques can have a dramatic impact on how fast an application feels to your users, and can be the catalyst for whether they have a joyful or frustrating experience. This talk will discuss performance techniques aimed at keeping your users on the joyful end of this user experience spectrum. We'll take a look at:

• Pragmatic tools for measuring client-side performance
• Techniques for optimizing resources and their resulting impact
• Approaches to maximizing dev-time happiness and production performance
• Easy incorporation of these techniques into your everyday tool-chain

Loose coupling. Your web front-end has that, right? Your JavaScript is using pubsub, event emitters, and message buses! Guess again, you can do better. Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) is a technique for augmenting the behavior of objects, methods, and functions non-invasively. AOP adds new behaviors and modifies existing behaviors "from the outside". Using AOP, it's possible to create connections between components without either having any knowledge of the other and without any extra library dependencies in your code. While you may be familiar with AOP in Spring, you may not yet have applied it in JavaScript. In this talk, we'll do just that. We'll introduce simple techniques for applying AOP in pure JavaScript using no additional libraries, and then look at meld.js (https://github.com/cujojs/meld), the AOP library that powers Cujo.js (http://cujojs.com). We'll work from simple examples of making connections between components to more sophisticated examples that integrate pubsub, message buses, etc. in a truly loosely coupled way.

With the GA release of Java 8 finally having arrived this week, let's all rejoice and celebrate - and then wake up and wonder how to introduce this to our everyday work environments...

This is easy enough to do for prototyping purposes: grab a JDK 8 download, IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse's recently completed Java 8 support, and off you go. The challenging part comes a step later: You need to figure out how to deploy your app to a Java 8 enabled environment.

Of course, in practice, that consideration probably comes much earlier: Before you're willing or allowed to try Java 8, you need to have a…

Java developers have heard a lot about functional-style programming - particularly with Java 8's addition of lambda expressions.

"First-class functions in Java 8" is a 12 minute video tutorial from Java 8 in Action: Lambdas, Streams, and functional-style programming by Raoul-Gabriel Urma, Mario Fusco and Alan Mycroft.

This video introduces method references and lambda expressions, the mechanisms Java 8 provides to pass a behavior as an argument to a method.

While the term "lambda expression" may sound abstract and academic, Java 8 Lambdas can have a big impact on how you program every day. In simplest terms, a lambda expression is a function—a bit of code—that you can pass to another method as an argument. Thus, you can cope with changing requirements by using a behavior, represented by a lambda, as a parameter. Java 8's functional programming features, like lambdas and the new Stream API that enables a cleaner way to iterate through collections, can help you write concise, maintainable code that scales easily and performs well on multicore architectures. Java 8 in Action is a clearly-written guide to Java 8 lambdas and functional programming in Java. It begins with a practical introduction to the structure and benefits of lambda expressions in real-world Java code. The book then introduces the Stream API and shows how it can make collections-related code radically easier to understand and maintain. Along the way, you'll discover new FP-oriented design patterns with Java 8 for code reuse, code readability, exception handling, data manipulation, and concurrency. For developers also exploring other functional languages on the JVM, the book concludes with a quick survey of useful functional features in Scala and Clojure.

It'd be nice to assume everything remains the same from one environment to another, but the realities of today's deployment targets (clouds, app servers, etc.) make this difficult. An application may target one in-memory database in development and target a traditional database in production. A/B testing is a common practice that lets you incrementally expose potentially high risk features. Feature switches can be invaluable; should something go wrong, you can revert to a known state. All of these use cases, and more, can be handled using the Spring framework. Join JavaOne Rock Star and Java Champion Kevin Nilson and Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long for a look at how you can run your application in differing environments using the Spring Framework.

No application is an island and this is more obvious today than ever as applications extend their reach into people's pockets, desktops, tablets, TVs, Blu-ray players and cars. What's a modern developer to do to support these many platforms? In this talk, join Josh Long to learn how Spring can extend your reach through (sometimes Spring Security OAuth-secured) RESTful services exposed through Spring MVC, HTML5 and client-specific rendering thanks to Spring Mobile, and powerful, native support for Android with Spring Android.

Speakers: Jon Brisbin, Stephane Maldini Reactor was recently made public after a two-year incubation, evolving slowly alongside frameworks like Storm, Akka, Play, GPars or Vert.x. Integrated with Grails starting with version 2.3, Reactor takes the best ideas from several asynchronous toolsets and synthesizes them into a coherent framework that supports a variety of runtime topologies and makes it easy for developers to efficiently leverage their cloud or traditional hardware assets. Reactor is equally at home inside or outside a Spring ApplicationContext and also provides first-class Groovy support in the form of DSLs and language extensions. Special attention has been given to make Reactor easy enough to use to create single-file node.js-like applications, while maintaining a solid asynchronous toolset that works with Big and Fast Data tools like Gemfire, Spring Integration, and Spring Batch. This talk will give Reactor a proper introduction and show sample code that demonstrates the event-driven and composition-based nature of Reactor applications.

Speaker: Emanuel Rabina

With the disconnect between the languages of the web (HTML, CSS, Javascript) and the languages of the server (Java, Groovy, Scala, etc), many libraries and frameworks have been invented over the years to fill this void, often resulting in views filled with back-end code, views filled with specialized syntaxes, or even the invention of completely new view languages abstractions; all for the purpose of transforming our server-side ideas into HTML, and few of which actually look like the HTML that it ends up as. Enter Thymeleaf - a templating framework that uses HTML to create good old HTML. In this presentation, you'll be introduced to Thymeleaf, some of its features, how you can use it in your Spring web projects, the growing ecosystem being developed around it, and how it uses natural templates to keep the web designer on your team, and inside each and every one of us, happy.
