The document discusses when to use and not use Ruby on Rails frameworks for web applications. Some key benefits of Rails include its large community, simplicity, and convention over configuration approach. However, it notes that Rails can become slow for large applications or non-web applications. It suggests using Rails carefully as projects grow and considering other options like actor models, JRuby, or TorqueBox that allow for more concurrency. The document wraps up by saying to use Ruby and Rails judiciously while remembering there are other tools available.

Introduction to the DisruptorTrisha Gee

The document discusses the Disruptor, a data structure and work flow that allows for high-performance concurrent programming with no contention. The Disruptor uses a ring buffer to pass messages between threads very quickly in a parallel manner. Publishers can insert events into the ring buffer, while batch event processors can read the events in batches to process them in parallel threads. The Disruptor framework encourages modeling the problem domain and provides reliable ordering, parallelism, and high performance.

Everything I know about software in spaghetti bolognese: managing complexityJAX London

None of of us enjoy spaghetti code, much less spaghetti builds, spaghetti tests, or spaghetti classpaths. Some days software engineering seems like the struggle against spaghetti - modern projects often become a large and complex tangle of source code and resources, and the runtime interactions are even worse! This means many projects are hard to navigate, difficult to extend and problematic to deploy/run. You only have to look at the OpenJDK itself to see the problems it faces in trying to have a smaller deployment and runtime footprint! Jigsaw was to be the inbuilt solution for the OpenJDK, extending beyond the JVM itself to help applications with their modularisation story (i.e. Jigsaw or OSGi). Sadly, Jigsaw is not going to make it for Java 8, so developers are left with only a few tooling choices in order to help them. However, tooling is only part of the answer in managing the complexity. What really matters in avoiding a noodly mess is the layout of your source code and resources, clear contracts, and how you think about the dependencies your code has at runtime. Dr Holly Cummins and Martijn Verburg will take you through some of the practical design decisions you can take to help modularise your application properly, independent of tooling. Time permitting they'll then showcase some of tooling support that OSGi can bring to the table as the premier modularity system for Java today.

Devops with the S for Sharing - Patrick DeboisJAX London

Devops means many things to many people. Even without a clear definition people instantly understand the problem space, while the solution space is much more complex and layered. In this talk on devops, different fields and practices will be presented, including how Devops is related to Agile and Lean, and the central roles that infrastructure as code, metrics and monitoring have. Many devops talks relate to the CAMS acronym : Culture, Automation, Measuring and Sharing. The S for Sharing is usually taken for granted and does not get much explanation, but in this talk it will be right in the centre. Without Sharing there is no Devops and successful adoption is impossible.

Busy Developer's Guide to Windows 8 HTML/JavaScript AppsJAX London

With the upcoming release of Windows 8, Microsoft decided to bring HTML+Javascript into the world of Windows-platform application development as a first-class citizen. But make no mistake, this isn’t an attempt to somehow subvert Web developers—it’s more about enabling Web developers to leverage those skills in building “native” Windows applications running on the Windows 8 laptops, desktops, and slates. In this presentation, we’ll go over the basics of building a Windows 8 app using HTML and JavaScript, including a brief overview of what’s possible—and what’s not—for the Web developer seeking to “go native” on Windows.

It's code but not as we know: Infrastructure as Code - Patrick DeboisJAX London

Configuration Management systems like CFEngine, Puppet and Chef, are often adopted as part of devops toolchains. It promises us infrastructure as code a concept that leads to 'Agile' infrastructure: In this session I'd like to give: - a brief explanation of the concept and why it's useful - an overview about the similarities this has with regular code - concepts such as TDD, BDD how well can they be translated - how it fits in with continuous Integration for systems Besides the concept translation I will add links to existing tools and project that working and evolving in the space. And finally, is it really the same? Does a coding background help you? Where do the tools/concepts need improvement? After this session I'm sure you'll be ready to give it a spin and explore more and possibly share some ideas back.

Locks? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Locks - Michael BarkerJAX London

Embrace the dark side. As a developer you'll often be advised that writing concurrent code should be the purview of the genius coders alone. In this talk Michael Barker will discard that notion into the cesspits of logic and reason and attempt to present on the less understood area of non-blocking concurrency, i.e. concurrency without locks. We'll look the modern Intel CPU architecture, why we need a memory model, the performance costs of various non-blocking constructs and delve into the implementation details of the latest version of the Disruptor to see how non-blocking concurrency can be applied to build high performance data structures.

Worse is better, for better or for worse - Kevlin HenneyJAX London

Over two decades ago, Richard P Gabriel proposed the thesis of "Worse Is Better" to explain why some things that are designed to be pure and perfect are eclipsed by solutions that are seemingly limited and incomplete. This is not simply the observation that things that should be better are not, but that some solutions that were not designed to be the best were nonetheless effective and were the better option. We find many examples of this in software development, some more provocative and surprising than others. In this talk we revisit the original premise and question in the context of software architecture.

Clojure made-simple - John StevensonJAX London

This document provides an overview of Clojure and why one may want to try it. Some key points include: - Clojure is a functional programming language that runs on the JVM and allows easy interoperability with Java. - It has a very small and elegant syntax based on Lisp with sensible macro names and prefix notation. - Clojure encourages pure functional programming and the use of immutable data structures, while providing tools like Software Transactional Memory to allow safe mutable state changes. - Its focus on functions as first-class citizens and referential transparency can provide benefits for writing parallel and concurrent code more easily compared to other languages.

HTML alchemy: the secrets of mixing JavaScript and Java EE - Matthias WessendorfJAX London

This document summarizes a presentation about developing mobile applications using HTML5, REST, and JavaScript frameworks. It discusses using JAX-RS to create RESTful endpoints in Java EE that return JSON/XML, and consuming those endpoints from HTML5 web apps or hybrid mobile apps built with Apache Cordova. It also introduces the AeroGear framework for extending Java EE functionality to mobile clients and facilitating mobile development. Demos are provided of AeroGear.js, Backbone.js, and the AeroGear-iOS library. The roadmap includes adding support for WebSockets, data syncing, and push notifications across the AeroGear projects.

Play framework 2 : Peter HiltonJAX London

This presentation introduces the key innovations that Play 2 brings to web application development in Java and Scala. The Play framework has brought high-productivity web development to Java with three innovations that changed the rules on Java EE: Java class and template save-and-reload that just works, a simplified stateless architecture that enables cloud deployment, and superior ease-of-use. Following Play's rapidly-growing popularity, Play 2.0 was released in March 2012 with innovations that are not just new in the Java world: type-safe view templates and HTTP routing, compile-time checking for static resources, and native support for both Java and Scala. Type safety matters. After dynamically-typed programming languages such as PHP and Ruby set the standard for high-productivity web development, Play built on their advantages and has created a type-safe web development framework with extensive compile-time checking. This is essential for applications that will scale to tens of thousands of lines of code, with hundreds of view templates. Meanwhile, Play avoids the architectural-complexity that is promoted by Java EE-based approaches. The result is that Play 2 first enables rapid initial application development and then Play 2 helps you build big, serious and scalable web applications.

Complexity theory and software development : Tim BerglundJAX London

Some systems are too large to be understood entirely by any one human mind. They are composed of a diverse array of individual components capable of interacting with each other and adapting to a changing environment. As systems, they produce behavior that differs in kind from the behavior of their components. Complexity Theory is an emerging discipline that seeks to describe such phenomena previously encountered in biology, sociology, economics, and other disciplines. Beyond new ways of looking at ant colonies, fashion trends, and national economies, complexity theory promises powerful insights to software development. The Internet—perhaps the most valuable piece of computing infrastructure of the present day—may fit the description of a complex system. Large corporate organizations in which developers are employed have complex characteristics. In this session, we'll explore what makes a complex system, what advantages complexity has to offer us, and how to harness these in the systems we build.

Why FLOSS is a Java developer's best friend: Dave GruberJAX London

The explosion of new open source projects is changing the game for today’s Java developers. With literally hundreds of thousands of FOSS projects underway, the opportunity to leverage open source to deliver “the trifecta” (faster/better/cheaper) has never been better. In this session we will explore tools and resources that can help you navigate the vast world of open source projects, in addition to sharing tips and tricks that will help you narrow the field so you can quickly get to the right projects for your next application.

NoSQL Smackdown 2012 : Tim BerglundJAX London

Alternative databases continue to establish their role in the technology stack of the future—and for many, the technology stack of the present. Making mature engineering decisions about when to adopt new products is not easy, and requires that we learn about them both from an abstract perspective and from a very concrete one as well. If you are going to recommend a NoSQL database for a new project, you're going to have to look at code. In this talk, we'll examine three important contenders in the NoSQL space: Cassandra, MongoDB, and Neo4J. We'll review their data models, scaling paradigms, and query idioms. Most importantly, we'll work through the exercise of modeling a real-world problem with each database, and look at the code and queries we'd use to implement real product features. Come to this session for a thorough and thoroughly practical smackdown between three important NoSQL products.

Closures, the next "Big Thing" in Java: Russel WinderJAX London

Java 8 will bring lambda function and closures to the Java-verse. These tools will revolutionize programming using Java, leading to shorter more declarative code. But how can we prepare ourselves for this? A number of JVM-based languages already have support for lambda functions and closures: dynamically-typed languages like Groovy, and statically-typed languages like Scala and Kotlin. Can looking at examples of how to solve problems in these languages teach us how to do things in Java 8? Yes. Of course the observation of how programming changes may get people to start using Groovy, Scala, Kotlin, etc. instead of Java. The critical thing here is that we can realize the revolution in an evolutionary way. The JVM allows for all of these languages to work together, we can program bits in Java, bits in Groovy, bits in Scala, etc. So we can evolve extant systems by rewriting bits a little at a time. In this session we will look at these issues and a collection of examples to try and ascertain what the idioms might be in a post-Java 8 world.

Java and the machine - Martijn Verburg and Kirk PepperdineJAX London

In Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines, bare metal comes back to haunt humanity, ruthlessly crushing all resistance. This keynote is here to warn you that the same thing is happening to Java and the JVM! Java was designed in a world where there were a wide range of hardware platforms to support. Its premise of Write Once Run Anywhere (WORA) proved to be one of the compelling reasons behind Java's dominance (even if the reality didn't quite meet the marketing hype). However, this WORA property means that Java and the JVM struggled to utilise specialist hardware and operating system features that could make a massive difference in the performance of your application. This problem has recently gotten much, much worse. Due to the rise of multi-core processors, massive increases in main memory and enhancements to other major hardware components (e.g. SSD), the JVM is now distant from utilising that hardware, causing some major performance and scalability issues! Kirk Pepperdine and Martijn Verburg will take you through the complexities of where Java meets the machine and loses. They'll give up some of their hard-won insights on how to work around these issues so that you can plan to avoid termination, unlike some of the poor souls that ran into the T-800...

Mongo DB on the JVM - Brendan McAdamsJAX London

Brendan McAdams explores the deeper relationship between the MongoDB database and various languages on the Java Virtual Machine such as Java, Scala, Clojure, JRuby and Python as well as the challenges posted getting MongoDB to play nice with these tools and their syntax. Also examined will be frameworks and integration points popular between MongoDB and the JVM such as Spring Data, Morphia and Lift’s MongoDB-Record component

New opportunities for connected data - Ian RobinsonJAX London

The document discusses new opportunities for connected data using graph databases. It covers topics like data complexity, graph databases features and benefits, querying graph data, and use cases. The key points are that graph databases are well-suited for domains with dense connections and semi-structured data, allow for easy data model evolution, and enable fast querying of relationships between millions of entities.

HTML5 Websockets and Java - Arun GuptaJAX London

The family of HTML5 technologies has pushed the pendulum away from rich client technologies and towards ever more capable web clients running in today's browsers. In particular, WebSockets brings new opportunities for efficient peer to peer communication, providing the basis for a new generation of interactive and 'live' web applications. This session examines the efforts underway to support WebSockets in the Java programming model using JSR 356, from its base level integration in the Java Servlet and Java EE containers, to a new easy to use API and toolset that is destined to become a part of the standard Java Platform.

The Big Data Con: Why Big Data is a Problem, not a Solution - Ian PloskerJAX London

"Big Data" is a commonly brandished term, but rarely does anyone provide a clear definition of it. If we stop to define Big Data, we find that at its core, it is about an inability to meet the challenges of information storage and access in a world where data is generated by the petabyte. As an alternative exists the concept of Critical Data, data that generates value for businesses, whose unavailability costs money or even lives. This is the data which has already been identified and understood to be at the core of a business. Together, we will gain a deeper understanding of how to gather, store, and access this business critical information.

Bluffers guide to elitist jargon - Martijn Verburg, Richard Warburton, James ...JAX London

Have you always secretly wondered what the heck 'monads' are? How about 'Tail-call recursion?' or 'monomorphic dispatch'? If this sort of terminology has ever left you with self-doubts or seething with anger because someone is confusing you with elitist terminology, then this is the talk for you! Dr Richard Warburton and the Diabolical Developer + James Gough will take a humorous look at the wide range of incomprehensible terminology in our industry today. They'll cover the concepts behind the jargon with simple examples and some practical tips on how to blend the terminology into your day to day technical conversations without scaring everyone off. At the end of the talk you'll be ready to battle it out on tough mailing lists (Scala!) and have a new appreciation for some of the academic principles behind our craft. Oh and as for monads? Well they're just like burritos, except they're not...

Challenges in Migrating Imperative Deep Learning Programs to Graph Execution:...Raffi Khatchadourian

Efficiency is essential to support responsiveness w.r.t. ever-growing datasets, especially for Deep Learning (DL) systems. DL frameworks have traditionally embraced deferred execution-style DL code that supports symbolic, graph-based Deep Neural Network (DNN) computation. While scalable, such development tends to produce DL code that is error-prone, non-intuitive, and difficult to debug. Consequently, more natural, less error-prone imperative DL frameworks encouraging eager execution have emerged at the expense of run-time performance. While hybrid approaches aim for the "best of both worlds," the challenges in applying them in the real world are largely unknown. We conduct a data-driven analysis of challenges---and resultant bugs---involved in writing reliable yet performant imperative DL code by studying 250 open-source projects, consisting of 19.7 MLOC, along with 470 and 446 manually examined code patches and bug reports, respectively. The results indicate that hybridization: (i) is prone to API misuse, (ii) can result in performance degradation---the opposite of its intention, and (iii) has limited application due to execution mode incompatibility.
