Webinar: Building 'Bootiful'­ Applications with Spring Boot

News | Pieter Humphrey | April 08, 2014 | ...

Speaker: Josh Long

Alright, so maybe "bootiful" won't ever work, but I tried, and it was worth it too because you're reading this. Spring Boot, the new convention-over-configuration centric framework from the Spring team at Pivotal, marries Spring's flexibility with conventional, common sense defaults to make application development not just fly, but pleasant! Join Spring developer advocate Josh Long for a look at what Spring Boot is, why it's turning heads, why you should consider it for your next application (REST, web, batch, big-data, integration, whatever!) and how to get started.

Webinar: Connecting Eclipse to the Cloud-Based Era of Developer Tooling with Project Flux

News | Pieter Humphrey | April 08, 2014 | ...

Speakers: Martin Lippert (Pivotal), Mike Milinkovich (Eclipse Foundation)

The Eclipse IDE (as one example) is great, but increasingly we are seeing new projects and companies working in the cloud-based developer tooling space, using a front-end that runs purely in the browser. The Eclipse Orion project is one example of this. While the new approaches look promising, they are usually completely disconnected from the existing desktop-class IDEs and are still lightyears away from working well for Java developers. In this webinar Martin Lippert will provide a sneak peek into Project Flux, a new project that is hosted at Eclipse and that we've been working on that aims at bridging this gap between existing desktop-class IDEs and future cloud-based developer tooling. While this project is still far away from shipping a ready-to-use release, the webinar provides an insight into the prototype and what is coming in the future. Special guest introduction from Mike Milinkovich, exec director of the eclipse foundation.

Webinar: Web Application Diagnostics with Java and Javascript

News | Pieter Humphrey | April 08, 2014 | ...

Speakers: Josh Long (Pivotal) and Ashley Puls (New Relic)

There is more and more usage of Javascript on the client side today. Many are starting down the difficult path of full blown application development in JS on the client side, going beyond having a simple rollover menu logic or presentation component. But tracking and tracing effectively means looking at the whole application, not just the front end. New Relic can be used either in development or production to diagnose hybrid Javascript/Java applications. In this session, Josh Long (Pivotal) and Ashley Puls (New Relic) will show how you can track and trace your way through today's hybrid Java web apps - resolving slow page loads, blocked threads, slow queries, etc.

SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: Real Time Analytics with Spring

News | Pieter Humphrey | March 31, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA

Speakers: David Turanski, Luke Taylor

Today's solutions must provide the ability to interpret related events and understand trends that are happening right now. This session will cover some of the out of the box capabilities of Spring XD to tap into big data streams and generate metrics such as simple counters, aggregate counters, moving averages, rates of change, and histograms. Hands-on demos will show you how Spring XD uses Redis and GemFire's Continuous Query and Function Execution to incorporate real-time analytics into event-driven applications.

SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: Tips and Tricks for Client Side Performance

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

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA

Speaker: Jeremy Grelle

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

SpringOne2GX 2013 Replay: AOP-ing your JavaScript

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

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA.

Speaker: Brian Cavalier

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.

Java 8 in Enterprise Projects

News | Juergen Hoeller | March 21, 2014 | ...

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…
