Leave a broken test - a great example of why that's an excellent idea
Posted Monday, November 12, 2007
Today, I was reminded why it's a good idea to end a programming session with a failing test (suggested by Kent Beck in his TDD book). Last week I went to the excellent QCon conference and hadn more »My SpringOne talk on building applications with Spring is now available

Developing with Amazon Web Services
By Chris Richardson
The Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is probably the best known web service from Amazon but itâs not the only one. There are other highly scalable and reliable web services that you can use in your Grails applications including the Simple Storage Service (S3), Simple Queuing Service (SQS) and SimpleDB, a non-relational database. Although, using these web services couples your application to Amazon, they let you build highly scalable applications without the pain and cost of having to develop your own infrastructure.
In this session you will learn how to use these web services. We describe the various open-source Java libraries for interacting these web services including JetS3t and Typica and how to integrate them into your Grails development model. You will learn about the benefits and drawbacks of these web services and their typical uses cases.
Running Java and Grails applications on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
By Chris Richardson
The Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is ideally suited to running Java applications. It lets you develop using standard Java software packages such as Tomcat and MySQL and rapidly deploy applications on servers that are provisioned and managed via a web services API. And, with its pay as you go pricing model, Amazon EC2 enables startups to launch their application without any upfront investment in computer hardware and allows enterprises to reduce costs and become more agile.
However, because it is a cloud, some aspects of Amazon EC2 are very different than a traditional, physical computing environment. In this session you will learn about those differences and how they impact how you handle security, networking, storage and availability. We describe how to use EC2 and the other Amazon web services to develop and deploy Java applications. You will learn how to use EC2 availability zones to deploy highly available applications. We also discuss how to architect secure applications for Amazon EC2.

Polyglot persistence for Java developers - moving out of the relational comfort zone
By Chris Richardson
Relational databases have long been considered the one true way to persist enterprise data. But today, NoSQL databases are emerging as a viable alternative for many applications. They can simplify the persistence of complex data models and offer significantly better scalability, and performance. But using NoSQL databases is very different than the ACID/SQL/JDBC/JPA world that we have become ccustomed to. They have different and unfamiliar APIs and a very different and usually limited transaction model. In this presentation, we describe describe some popular NoSQL databases - SimpleDB, MongoDB, and Cassandra. You will learn about each database's data model and Java API. We describe the benefits and drawbacks with using NoSQL databases. Finally, you will learn how to build Java applications that use NoSQL databases in conjunction with an RDBMS.

Developing Java applications with Cloud Services
By Chris Richardson
Cloud computing isn't just about application deployment. There is also a growing number of cloud-based web services that you can use to develop your application. One of the most well known is Amazon's Simple Storage Service. But there are many others including web services for messaging, relational and NoSQL databases, email and telephony. Using these services allows you to build highly scalable applications without the pain and cost of having to develop and operate your own infrastructure. In this presentation, you will learn how to use some of these web services. We will describe the Java libraries for interacting with them. You will learn about the benefits and drawbacks of these Web services and their typical use cases. We will describe an example application that is built using cloud services.
