SPRINGONE 2GX 2013: THE SPRING, GROOVY, GRAILS, & CLOUD EVENT OF THE YEAR!

Big Data is all the rage, but building real-world big data solutions can fill developers with rage. While Hadoop provides the de-facto foundation for storing and processing data, real-world scenarios require much more. Capabilities like distributed data ingestion and export, real-time analytics, wo..

In this talk Grails project lead, Graeme Rocher, will talk through the latest and greatest happenings in the world of Grails including a walk through of the features included Grails 2.3 and upcoming in Grails 3.0

As data-driven applications become more widespread, the services that provide the data are becoming more critical. Most commonly these data services are exposed via REST-ful APIs. This session describes what exactly makes a service REST-ful, how to implement a REST-ful API using Spring, and how to t..

As REST-ful data services become more widespread, it is becoming clear that they have to change to suit new consumer needs. This evolution is often disruptive to consumers, but it doesn't have to be. This session, a follow up to ‘REST-ful API Design’, discusses various strategies for evolving a REST..

Spring has a track record of providing dedicated support for new Java generations in a timely fashion, and now it's right about time to go Java 8: With Spring Framework 4.0, we're providing in-depth support for all relevant OpenJDK 8 features, including lambda expressions, JSR-310 Date and Time, par..

Cloud Foundry makes configuring and deploying applications incredibly simple for developers. However, deploying Cloud Foundry itself can be a challenging task. We will be sharing what we learned deploying Cloud Foundry within our organization.

Learn from our experiences deploying Cloud Foundry wi..

Reactor was recently made public after a two-year incubation, evolving slowly alongside frameworks like Storm, Akka, Play, GPars or Vert.x. Integrated with Grails starting with version 2.3, Reactor takes the best ideas from several asynchronous toolsets and synthesizes them into a coherent framework..

Everyday coding involves taking care of so many things that much time can get wasted writing over and over code to deal with the basics of programming. Not so in Groovy, thanks to the annotations that transform your code to synthesize the cruft.

The dynamic runtime nature of Groovy is one of the things that sets it apart from standard Java and makes it a fantastic language for building dynamic applications for the Java Platform. The metaprogramming capabilities offered by the language provide everything that an application development team..

Grails is geared towards an MVC architecture with a database back-end and a service layer. But is this the only way to write Grails applications? What other architectures are possible and what is required to implement them?

This talk will cover how to get your application running on AWS VPC and related services.

In recent years functional programming has gained ground over object oriented mainly due to the advancement in computing power. The JVM is no exception, you can find powerful contenders in Clojre and Scala. However Groovy doesn't stay behind.

By improving Grails' convention-over-configuration application design with a message driven architecture, applications can benefit from improved modularity, scalability, and code reusablility.

The JAX-RS 2.0 specification is part of Java EE 7, but can be used now. It contains the expected annotations for the HTTP verbs (@GET, @POST, and so on) and mechanisms for retrieving variables, but only a few methods for doing hypermedia. This presentation will review those techniques by adding both..

When you think about securing a Grails application, you probably think of the Spring Security and Shiro plugins. But these plugins only control access to your pages and objects – what about guarding agains cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and SQL injection attacks? The O..
