Unlock your Inner Node.js in the Cloud with Windows Azure
If I told you that you can build node.js applications in Windows Azure would you believe me? Come to this session and I’ll show you how. You’ll see how take those existing node apps and easily deploy them to Windows Azure from any platform, how you can make yours node apps more robust by leveraging Azure services like storage and service bus and how to take advantage of cool tools like socket.io for WebSockets, node-inspector for debugging and Cloud9 for an awesome online development experience.

Travis CI - I Hear You Like Pull Requests
If you've ever used it, you've probably fallen in love with Github Pull Requests.
This is the story about adding automatic Pull Request testing to Travis CI. We will explore the depths of Git, GitHub and Travis CI. Expect to learn something about Git internals, undocumented APIs, distributed systems and real world usage of hypermedia. And why it all matters.

As maintainer of Sinatra, Konstantin is an Open Source developer by heart. Ruby has become his language of choice since 2005. He regularly contributes to different widespread projects, like Rubinius, Rack, Rails and Ruby. In 2012, Konstantin recieved the Ruby Hero Award for his outstanding contributions to the community. Konstantin is currently working full time on Travis CI.
Thursday
16.45-17.35
TypeScript: JavaScript development at Scale
TypeScript is a new programming language aiming to improve the development experience of writing and maintaining application-scale JavaScript programs. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, adding optional static typing to improve the tooling experience, as well as EcmaScript 6 style classes and modules to help organize large programs. The TypeScript compiler is open source and translates to plain JavaScript that runs in any browser on any platform.
Mads Torgersen
Mads is the Program Manager for the C# Language at Microsoft, where he runs the C# design meetings and maintains the language specification. He has been one of the lead architects behind recent C# language features such as async and dynamic, and is on the design teams for Visual Basic and TypeScript. Before joining Microsoft in 2005 Mads worked as an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Aarhus and was part of the group that developed wildcards for Java generics.
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.
Chris Richardson
Chris Richardson is a developer and architect with over 20 years of experience. He is a Java Champion and the author of POJOs in Action, which describes how to build enterprise Java applications with POJOs and frameworks such as Spring and Hibernate. Chris is the founder of the original CloudFoundry.com and now spends his time investigating better ways to develop applications and evangelizing Cloud Foundry. He has a computer science degree from the University of Cambridge in England and lives in Oakland, CA with his wife and three children.
18.00-18.50
Exploring Datomic: a database deconstructed
Datomic is a new database with an intriguing distributed architecture. It separates reads, writes and storage, allowing them to scale independently. Queries run inside your application code using a Datalog-based language. Spreading queries across processes isolates them from one another, enabling real-time data analysis without copying to a separate store, opening full query functionality to clients of your system, and more. This talk explores Datomic's architecture and some of it's implications, focused entirely on technical details.
Tim Ewald
Tim Ewald is a pragmatic architect with 18 years experience building distributed systems. He works at Relevance, a consultancy focused on systems engineering using advanced languages and agile methods. His most recent work involved helping ship Datomic. Prior to joining Relevance, Tim was a VP of Architecture at SeaChange International, where he focused on integrating Web technologies and video on demand infrastructure for the cable and telco industry. Before that he worked at Microsoft, where he designed and developed the first iteration of MSDN2.
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.
