Topics at JAX London
Agile Day
Agile procedures are standard in a large number of companies. Many projects worldwide deploy Scrum, XP, Lean or other well-known but frequently user-written agile methods. However, not every agile project is successful. Agile Day will provide insights into experience gained by agile method consultants, agile customers and agile developers. It will show how agile procedures can be employed profitably in software development projects.
Architecture
The world of software tends to become more and more integrated – end-to-end processes that cross corporate and technological boundaries as well as the universal availability of data and information present organisations with huge challenges. In this environment, software architects assume a special role in project development: they must have all the qualities of decathletes who have to handle code, design, communication and management. The Architecture Track of JAX London offers architects first-class information and optimum know-how from experienced and well-known software architects.
Groovy & Grails Day
Groovy is a dynamic language on the Java platform which was developed with a particular focus on the habits of Java programmers. Groovy combines the best of both worlds – lightweight dynamic programming and use of the tried-and-tested Java Stack – in a unique manner. Groovy Day will provide an insight into the concepts behind Groovy and supply valuable information for practical application.
Java Enterprise
Since Version 3.0, Enterprise JavaBeans has unjustly had the reputation of being cumbersome and complex. It would be closer to the truth to say that, since the great “EJB crisis”, the EJB concept has evolved very significantly and is today a state-of-the-art technology. How powerful EJBs can be today and how easy they can be to handle will be shown on EJB3 & JEE6 Day. For Java Enterprise developers and architects, it will provide a wealth of insider knowledge for the use of EJB in company-critical applications.
JSF in Action
JavaServer Faces are the de-facto standard for component-based Web applications in the Java environment. This technology enables state-of-the-art, flexible and maintainable applications to be developed. With the JSF 2.0 standard, the JSF has made an important leap forward. This Special Day will provide information on the current state of the art and the tools while also reporting on best practice.
OSGi DevCon London
OSGi technology has been around since 1998, however its been gaining increasing traction in the enterprise over the last couple of years. We are pleased to be hosting the OSGi Alliance supported OSGi DevCon London in co-operation with JAX London on 23rd February, 2010. You can find full details on OSGi DevCon London here.
Ruby on Rails Day
The Rails Framework has taken developers’ hearts by storm thanks to its fascinating concepts. Numerous Web projects, particularly in the start-up environment but not exclusively, already use this technology successfully. Ruby on Rails Day will present the Rails concepts, offer practical tips and provide an introduction to successful development using the Framework.
Spring Day
Numerous projects have already been implemented on the basis of Spring and its use is currently being considered in many others. Spring Day will show which hands-on experience exists and provide tips on planning and executing Java Spring projects.
