Mastering Continuous Integration with Jenkins
Students will come away from this workshop with a solid understanding of how to implement a Continuous Integration environment in their organization. They will be able to set up a working instance of Jenkins server, complete with automated builds, tests, code quality audits and reports, and automatic deployment to an integration server. They will also be able to integrate Jenkins with other tools in the development environment, such as issue tracking systems and source code browsers.

Wednesday
10.00-10.50
Vim - precision editing at the speed of thought
Vim is optimzed for mouseless operation. Using the mouse slows us down, ergo Vim lets us work faster.
No other text editor comes close to Vim for speed, efficiency, and availability. It's a serious tool for programmers and web developers: perfect for working with markup and scripting languages. Master Vim, and you will never need another text editor.

15.40-16.30
Advanced Continuous Integration Techniques with Jenkins
In this talk, we'll look at several continuous integration techniques you can use to get more value out of your Jenkins installation. The topic will cover the "validated merge" feature to make your builds unbreakable, the "fingerprinting" feature to build audit trail of your artifacts, and the "pipeline" feature to better visualize how your changes are verified by Jenkins, and so on.

Thursday
10.00-10.50
Micro-Service Architecture
The service architecture of the new millenium has evolved at the Forward Internet Group into a myriad of small, loosely coupled services. While the system is several years old, almost no service is older than six months. We explore the evolution of this architecture and its impact on the organization and processes.
Fred George
Fred George has been writing code for over 44 years in (by his count) over 70 languages. An early adopter of OO and Agile, Fred continues to impact the industry with his leading-edge ideas. Passionately practical, Fred has spent the last few decades delivering projects for clients worldwide (US, India, China, UK). Oh, and he still writes code!
11.10-12.00
Automated Testing Strategies for Databases
Almost all significant applications involve some sort of database. Many challenges come up when automating tests of data-intensive applications, including test repeatability, performance, transactional integrity and parallel test execution. This session will present solutions to these problems along with concrete implementations. Participants will be expected to have a working knowledge of relational databases and an understanding of the principles of database programming and test automation.
Stephen Vance
Stephen Vance has been a technology developer, consultant and manager for the last two decades. As a manager, he has promoted Agile practices since before the "Agile" label was invented. As a consultant, Stephen advised companies from startups to US Fortune 100 in North America, Europe and China. He is currently a hands-on Engineering Manager at Cengage Learning and is writing a book on software testing techniques for Addison-Wesley.
13.00-13.50
Maven vs Gradle, On your marks, get set, go!
Ant, Maven, Gradle, Buildr - the choice of built systems for Java based systems is manifold and only discussions about coding styles are getting more heated than discussion on which built system is superior. In this talk we are looking at two built system - the well established veteran Maven against the Groovy based newcomer Gradle. Where are the similarities between these two built systems and what differentiates them? Why and when would you chose one over the other?

Perhaps some multinational company participates in this session and shows their latest technology too.
And perhaps we can get the first real look and feel of the Surface!
Not much more to say – if you like new technology you cannot afford to miss this one.

15.40-16.30
Cutting testing time with Parallel Automated Functional Tests
Automated functional tests provide valuable feedback to developers by notifying them when they break functionality. Additional value can be derived from the tests by providing fast feedback, as the problem is likely to be fresh in the developers mind and quicker to fix.
A Typical functional test suite can take many hours to run because they can only run tests sequentiality. This session will look at the cause of serial tests and how to construct them to run in parallel with other tests.

The Rebels Come Out Online - What if the Internet is something much bigger than we think?
"What if the Internet is something much bigger than we think?"
Alexander Bard is one of the world's leading internet social theorists and the author of "The Futurica Trilogy" together with Jan Söderqvist. In this speech he will elaborate on the fact that out of all the codes and other digital information we stuff our machines with, something much more profound, something sentient, is emerging. The internet controls us, and possesses opur imagination and worldview, rather than the other way round.
Alexander Bard
Having made a habit of lecturing dressed in haute couture shorts and an impressive fin de siècle beard, scribbling his notes on huge whiteboards rather than parading just another predictable power-point presentation, the larger-than-life Alexander Bard's simultaneously entertaining and earth-shattering lectures have consistently topped the ratings at major business and management conferences around the world. And as any good speaker does, Bard takes pride in practicing the message he preaches.
Friday
11.10-12.00
Performance and Capacity in a Cloud
As the software world continues to shift to cloud based solutions, testing professionals are expected to provide answers to the new questions:
* How quickly will the system respond?
* How many machines (servers, load balancers, switches, etc.) do we need?
* What happens when a machine (or a rack, cluster, data-center) fails?
* What is the performance cost of a new feature?
This session will introduce these topics and give examples for services most people are familiar with.

Lambdas in Java SE 8 or co-evolving libraries, the language and the VM
Lambdas is going to be the biggest new feature in Java SE 8. This presentation will show you the need for lambdas, the feature in itself, and also how adding lambdas to Java makes makes it necessary to solve the problem of library evolution. Also you get to see how lambda expressions, type inference, default methods and library improvements makes parallelism much easier to express.
