Presentations

Hacking & Hardening Java Web Applications Workshop

9:00 AM MDT

It seems like everyday there is a new headline about a security breach in a major company’s web application. These breaches cause companies to lose their credibility, cost them large sums of money, and those accountable undoubtedly lose their jobs. Security requires you to be proactive. Keep your employer out of the headlines by learning some key security best practices.

This hands-on workshop is designed to teach you how to identify and fix vulnerabilities in Java web applications. Using an existing web application, you will learn ways to scan and test for common vulnerabilities such as hijacking, injection, cross-site scripting, cross-site forgery and more. You will learn best practices around logging, error handling, intrusion detection, authentication and authorization. You will also learn how to improve security in your applications using existing libraries, frameworks and techniques to patch and prevent vulnerabilities.

Introduction to Hadoop Workshop

11:00 AM MDT

As an industry we are collecting more and more data. At some point we have to be able to make sense of the data. Unfortunately many of the tools we have historically used can not scale up to the terabytes and petabytes we have captured. Hadoop is one of those relatively new technologies that is taking the industry by storm since it has proven to scale by taking advantage of the MapReduce pattern and distributed computing.

During this hands-on tutorial you will provision a Hadoop cluster, write MapReduce jobs and learn how to store and access data via Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). You will also learn how cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services’ Elastic MapReduce (EMR) and Microsoft’s Azure HDInsight provide Hadoop as a service.

Docker for Devs Workshop

9:00 AM MDT

Docker and containers are getting a lot of attention these days but what do they mean for devs? How do they fit into DevOps and continuous delivery movements? Where do these tools fit into cloud computing? During this hands-on session we will learn how to install and configure Docker, build images and run containers in a local development environment. But we will also explore using them in a continuous deployment environment by deploying them to on premise as well as cloud services such as AWS.

  • Setting Up Docker
  • Creating Docker Machines
  • Docker Lifecycle
  • Finding & Running Containers
  • Creating Images
  • Linking Containers
  • Sharing Images
  • Composing
  • Using the Docker API
  • Private Repositories
  • Swarm
  • Kubernetes
  • Cloud (Digital Ocean, AWS)
  • Summary
  • Resources
