Hypermedia and ASP.NET Web API, where do you want to go today?
Building hypermedia systems these days is all the rage. Those who achieve building hypermedia systems are promised fame, success and mountains of riches. OK that’s not true! But hypermedia does help you to build systems where the client and server can evolve somewhat independently, and that is a big deal. Come this talk and we’ll deep dive into exactly what hypermedia is and different ways to achieve building hypermedia driven systems with ASP.NET Web API.

Up up and Out: Scaling software with Akka 2
Akka is a unified runtime and programming model for scaling both UP (utilizing multi-core processors) and OUT (utilizing the grid/cloud). With Akka 2 this will be taken to a whole new level with its “Distributed by Design”. Akka 2 provides location transparency by abstracting away both these tangents of scalability by turning them into an operations and configuration task. In this talk you will learn what Akka is and how it can be used to solve hard scalability problems. http://akka.io

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.

10.00-10.50
Modern enterprise application configuration with Spring
The Spring family projects have long been important tools in the enterprise Java developer's toolkit. Often though, Spring is characterized as being too dependent on XML. This session will take a deep look at how Java applications can be configured entirely in code, eliminating Spring-, JPA- and even Servlet-related XML. We'll also look beyond the core Spring Framework and explore how higher-level Spring projects like Spring Data and Spring Integration take advantage of code based configuration.

He is a frequent speaker at conferences around the world and is @cbeams at Twitter and GitHub.
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.

18.00-18.50
Developing polyglot applications on Cloud Foundry
Modern applications are developed using multiple technologies: HTML5, NodeJS, SQL and NoSQL databases. Development is challenging since there are so many moving parts. In this talk, you will learn why we need to build applications this way and how Cloud Foundry, which is an modern, open-source PaaS, can help.

Friday
10.00-10.50
How RESTful Is Your REST?
The rise of Mobile and the diversity its technologies make exposing a RESTfull API the most crucial capability of any application and the key to its success. In the absence of widely adopted best practices and well-defined conventions, designing such an API is nothing but trivial. This presentation introduces the fundamentals of REST architecture, and discusses the principles of RESTfull design.

Go: a simple programming environment
Go is a general-purpose language that bridges the gap between efficient statically typed languages and productive dynamic language. But it’s not just the language that makes Go special – Go has broad and consistent standard libraries and powerful but simple tools.
This talk gives an introduction to Go, followed by a tour of some real programs that demonstrate the power, scope, and simplicity of the Go programming environment.

He is the co-author of A Tour of Go (http://tour.golang.org/), and is the fourth most prolific contributor to the Go project. He is passionate about software quality, and believes Go is a unique tool for building reliable software at scale. Before Google, Andrew wrote software for startups and Internet providers.
10.00-10.50
The power of node
Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
This talk introduces node.js by exploring practical examples of suitable use cases.
Expect lots of code, demos, and a clear analysis on the strengths and weaknesses of node.js as a plattform.

11.10-12.00
Go: code that grows with grace
One of Go's key design goals is code adaptability; that it should be easy to take a simple design and build upon it in a clean and natural way. In this talk I describe a simple "chat roulette" server that matches pairs of incoming TCP connections, and then use Go's concurrency mechanisms, interfaces, and standard library to extend it with a web interface and other features. While the function of the program changes dramatically, Go's flexibility preserves the original design as it grows.

REST assured - Hypermedia APIs with Spring MVC
Spring MVC forms a solid foundation to implement REST based web-services in Java. However, in real-world projects developers still face challenges when it comes to advanced questions of REST. How to really leverage hypermedia? How to model more complex business functionality with REST. The talk discusses approaches to these chellanges developed during customer engagemants and introduces the Spring HATEOAS library.

15.20-16.10
Building a grammar for statistical graphics in Clojure
Our data is typically optimized for use by computers; what would it be like if we optimized for humans? This talk introduces a grammar of graphics for concisely expressing rich data visualizations. The grammar, implemented in Clojure, consists of simple data structures and can be used across the JVM and via JSON. This talk will cover principles of effective data visualization and the benefits of using data structures as an "API". There will be lots of pictures and a touch of code.
