Re-architecting the Web with HTML 5 Communication
Jonas Jacobi Kaazing
The world revolves around the Web and the networks that support it. Now, after 25 years, the Web is about to take a gigantic leap forward (if we let it) and forever change the way in which we build applications for the Web. Web applications have traditionally been seen as second tier citizens in our network infrastructure, not capable of fully participate in the backend message infrastructure due to its stateless architecture. One innovation - HTML 5 WebSockets - in particular will enable full-duplex HTTP communication, and finally bring an end to the tired “click and wait” paradigm traditionally associated with the Web, and allow browsers to become first class citizens in our network. In this session, Kaazing’s CEO will offer his company’s vision of the future of the Web, Web technologies, address the importance of browser support of the HTML 5 standard, and offer insight into the key role developers’ play in HTML 5's proliferation and the impact on the end users.
From Eclipse to Reality
Wassim Melhem Embarcadero Technologies
A look at the challenges of bringing a commercial Eclipse-based product to the market through the eyes of an Eclipse committer. The lessons learned, strengths and blind spots of Eclipse as a platform, and the double-edged sword of seamless integration of components.
Portal 2.0: Bringing Social, Web 2.0 and SOA together for the Enterprise
Brian Chan Liferay
The first generation of portals from 2000-2005 have become the unloved children of enterprise software. Not quite infrastructure and yet without the immediate ROI of applications, portals garnered a bad reputation for being investment-heavy with little return. Meanwhile, in the last 2-3 years, all manner of new-fangled technologies with many portal-like characteristics have become the new darlings of the industry, including mashup servers, collaboration platforms, lightweight social software and widget frameworks. Enter the second generation of portal servers, which have grown up. Despite the industry’s misconceptions, portal technology is still often the most natural fit for enterprises that need web-based applications targeting a variety of audiences. Portals have naturally evolved to embrace new developments in social collaborative software for the enterprise and are once again strong contenders for delivering results and immediate usability. What’s more, portals continue to enjoy their traditional advantages in enterprise integration, user management, presentation layer aggregation, and service oriented architecture, which are shortcomings of the newer lightweight technologies. This presentation will discuss how the now conventional social, web 2.0, and collaborative paradigms can be brought into the enterprise most effectively. We will discuss how social collaborative paradigms can go deeper than surface-level interaction to become new revenue drivers and cost-cutters for enterprises if they don’t neglect the back-end integration at which portal technology excels.
SOA, SaaS – und ich?
Marc Gille SunGard Infinity
SOA als Hype ist schon Geschichte. (Groß-)Unternehmen arbeiten an der konkreten Umsetzung – und die Probleme liegen wie immer nicht (nur) in der Technologie. Die Analysten predigen SaaS und zumindest diejenigen Hersteller, die nicht (nur) Lizenzumsätze sichern wollen und müssen versuchen es fleißig. Also Hypes, Gartner-Kürzel und -Prognosen wie immer. Also auch weitermachen mit Entwickeln wie immer? Suchen nach dem letzten GUI-Trend, der besten Post-J2EE-Technologie oder irgendwelchen anderen Schienenfahrzeugen? Oder beeinflussen die Trends “der Großen” den Softwaremarkt so nachhaltig, dass sich auch das Leben des Softwareentwicklers so merkbar ändert, dass sie oder er anfangen sollte, über diese Veränderungen nachzudenken?
Open Source-basierte SOA
Jan Wetzke Sun Microsytems
Module für den Aufbau einer Service Orientierten Architektur sind zentraler Bestandteil in einer modernen IT-Architektur von Unternehmen. Die Anforderungen an Planungssicherheit, Offenheit, Tranzparenz und Nutzung von Standards sind daher für diese Produkte besonders hoch. Open Source Produkte erfüllen diese Anforderungen in besonderem Maße. Sun bietet mit Java CAPS eine kommerzielle SOA Plattform basierend auf verschiedenen Open Source Projekten, u.a. Open ESB. Mit Sun Java Studio IDE steht eine integrierte Entwicklungsplattform (basierend auf der Open-Source Plattform der Netbeans Tools), um die verschiedenen Anforderungen beim Aufbau einer SOA zu erfüllen, vom ESB über das Business Process Management bis hin zum Stammdatenmanagement. Neben der Integration und Bereitstellung von Web Services werden Funktionalitäten für Nachrichten- und Event-gesteuerte Prozesse zur Verfügung gestellt.
Less is More: Redefining the "I" of the IDE
Mik Kersten Tasktop Technologies
In under four years, Mylyn’s task-focused interface has gone from a university whiteboard into the hands of most developers using Eclipse. Not long ago the notion of a tool that hides more of the program than it shows sounded crazy. To some it probably still does. But as Mylyn continues its incredibly rapid adoption, the numbers are making the next big step in the evolution of the IDE more clear. Tasks are more important than files, focus is more important than features, and an explicit context is the biggest productivity boost since code completion. This talk will discuss how Eclipse and open source have enabled this transformation, provide lessons learned for other tool innovations, and look ahead at how we are redefining the "I" of the IDE.
