Presentations

The World is Blue/Green

2:45 PM MDT

One of the hardest activities and strategies of DevOps team or should we say production is how to transition from one version of an application to another version of an application with cascading consequences of service dependencies. There are a number of strategies for managing this concern. In this talk, we will outline a few of them along with required conditions of the underlying infrastructure to achieve it.

This session will demonstrate on a DC/OS platform how to create a continuous delivery solution which pushes builds into production leverage blue / green deployments. Following this we will switch on the fly from blue to green and vice versa. We will stretch this concept to it's extreme and demonstrate A/B testing in a production environment.

Are you Mocking Me (with Spock)

4:30 PM MDT

Spock is a groovy based testing framework that leverages all the “best practices” of the last several years taking advantage of many of the development experience of the industry. So combine Junit, BDD, RSpec, Groovy and Vulcans… and you get Spock!

There are 3 tools I use on every Java project I control… this is one of them and with good reason.

This session assumes some understanding of testing and junit and builds on it. We will introduce and dig deep into Spock as a test specification and mocking tool. Topics include:

Unit testing
Data driven tests
Mocking and Stubbing
Partial Mocks
Spock Extensions

Do You Know Da Wae

8:30 PM MDT

We build development teams based on individual ability to write code but development of a software project of any significance is beyond a single persons effort with a very particular set of skills. It requires a team of members with a number array of skills. It requires social skills. It requires tools and alignment. It requires shared contextual models.

This session will distill a couple decades of software consulting lessons learn in software engineering along with Ugandan fun to uncover the true way to developing more with less.

Flying through Cloud Native (CNCF)

5:00 PM MDT

The maturing of industry projects and tools around cloud development and administration has led to the formation of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. This new foundation is similar to the Apache Foundation in that it provides governance over projects from incubation to maturity. These projects define the current and future standards of the cloud which is important for all devops teams to be aware of. This session is a guided at jet speed tour of each project and how it fits in the eco-system.

This session will briefly cover each of the CNCF projects will a outline of:

  • what the project is
  • how it works
  • level of maturity
  • competitive landscape

The projects covered include:

  • Kubernetes
  • containerd
  • Prometheus
  • OpenTracing
  • Fluentd
  • rkt
  • CNI
  • Jaeger
  • Notary
  • Envoy
  • CoreDNS
  • Linkerd

Spring Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach (Expert's Voice in Open Source)

Spring Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach (Expert's Voice in Open Source)

by Gary Mak, Daniel Rubio, and Josh Long

With over 3 million users/developers, Spring Framework is the leading “out of the box” Java framework. Spring addresses and offers simple solutions for most aspects of your Java/Java EE application development, and guides you to use industry best practices to design and implement your applications.

The release of Spring Framework 3 has ushered in many improvements and new features. Spring Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach, Second Edition continues upon the bestselling success of the previous edition but focuses on the latest Spring 3 features for building enterprise Java applications. This book provides elementary to advanced code recipes to account for the following, found in the new Spring 3:

  • Spring fundamentals: Spring IoC container, Spring AOP/ AspectJ, and more
  • Spring enterprise: Spring Java EE integration, Spring Integration, Spring Batch, jBPM with Spring, Spring Remoting, messaging, transactions, scaling using Terracotta and GridGrain, and more.
  • Spring web: Spring MVC, Spring Web Flow 2, Spring Roo, other dynamic scripting, integration with popular Grails Framework (and Groovy), REST/web services, and more.

This book guides you step by step through topics using complete and real-world code examples. Instead of abstract descriptions on complex concepts, you will find live examples in this book. When you start a new project, you can consider copying the code and configuration files from this book, and then modifying them for your needs. This can save you a great deal of work over creating a project from scratch!

What you’ll learn

  • How to use the IoC container and the Spring application context to best effect.
  • Spring’s AOP support, both classic and new Spring AOP, integrating Spring with AspectJ, and load-time weaving.
  • Simplifying data access with Spring (JDBC, Hibernate, and JPA) and managing transactions both programmatically and declaratively.
  • Spring’s support for remoting technologies (RMI, Hessian, Burlap, and HTTP Invoker), EJB, JMS, JMX, email, batch, scheduling, and scripting languages.
  • Integrating legacy systems with Spring, building highly concurrent, grid-ready applications using Gridgain and Terracotta Web Apps, and even creating cloud systems.
  • Building modular services using OSGi with Spring DM and Spring Dynamic Modules and SpringSource dm Server.
  • Delivering web applications with Spring Web Flow, Spring MVC, Spring Portals, Struts, JSF, DWR, the Grails framework, and more.
  • Developing web services using Spring WS and REST; contract-last with XFire, and contract–first through Spring Web Services.
  • Spring’s unit and integration testing support (on JUnit 3.8, JUnit 4, and TestNG).
  • How to secure applications using Spring Security.

Who this book is for

This book is for Java developers who would like to rapidly gain hands-on experience with Java/Java EE development using the Spring framework. If you are already a developer using Spring in your projects, you can also use this book as a reference—you’ll find the code examples very useful.
