Presentations
Refactoring with JRuby
Learn how JRuby can bring simplicity to the complex and rich APIs available in the Java platform. In this session you'll learn how to use JRuby to tackle some common tasks in Java SE and Java EE as well as how to abstract and simplify complex APIs.

In this session you'll learn how to use JRuby to tackle common tasks in Java SE and Java EE as well as how to abstract and simplify complex APIs. Learn the many new architectural choices that dynamic languages bring to the JVM. Get a taste of how JRuby can bridge the best of the rich and proven Java open source ecosystem and the flexibility of the next wave of innovation coming out of the dynamic languages camp.
Tools and Techniques to build Smart Java Applications
In this session we will explore the Java tools, techniques and algorithms that enable us to filter, classify, relate and discover patterns in our data that might not immediately obvious. With the emergence of social networking applications a great deal of data and hidden connections that can be leveraged to build better and smarter applications.

Beginning POJOs introduces you to open source lightweight web development using Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) and the tools and frameworks that enable this. Tier by tier, this book guides you through the construction of complex but lightweight enterprise Java-based web applications. Such applications are centered around several major open source lightweight frameworks, including Spring, Hibernate, Tapestry, and JBoss (including the new lightweight JBoss Seam).
Additional support comes from the most successful and prevalent open-source tools: Eclipse and Ant, and the increasingly popular TestNG. This book is ideal if you’re new to open source and lightweight Java. You’ll learn how to build a complete enterprise Java-based web application from scratch, and how to integrate the different open source frameworks to achieve this goal. You’ll also learn techniques for rapidly developing such applications.
NOTE: The source code files to accompany this book are now hosted at https://github.com/bsbodden/techconf.

Enterprise Java Development on a Budget is an annotated roadmap covering every major aspect of Open Source enterprise Java development "on a budget". This book allows a programmer or programming team to develop complex applications for enterprises using as little money as possible. Open Source has had a profound effect on the Java Community. Many Java Open Source projects have even become de-facto standards. The principal purpose of this book is to guide the reader through the development of a real enterprise Java application(s) using nothing but Open Source Java Tools, Projects and Frameworks. Each chapter will deal with an aspect of the design and development of the application as they relate to a specific tool or framework being used. In areas of the application where there may be implementation choices in terms of which Open Source project to use, we will show one more possible paths and explain why, in the context of the application we chose one project/tool versus competing/similar ones. This book is intended to define the role of Open Source on the Java Community. It will provide information on how, when and why to use Open Source. It will also contain as a useful appendix a catalog of Open Source Projects/Products making an impact. The catalog provides information and examples necessary for managers, developers and architects to make decisions on whether to use or evaluate specific projects.
