Speaker: Ryan Hoegg Topic: Map Reduce Agenda 11:30 am - Welcome Announcements 11:40 am - Main Presentation 12:40 pm - Wrap Up Presentation Information MapReduce: Distributed Computing with Apache Hadoop Scalable software is built so that increasing data or usage does not result in degraded service. Distributed computing is one way to make data processing software scale gracefully. (from http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.0/mapred_tutorial.html#Overview): "Hadoop Map/Reduce is a software framework for easily writing applications which process vast amounts of data (multi-terabyte data-sets) in-parallel on large clusters (thousands of nodes) of commodity hardware in a reliable, fault-tolerant manner." In this talk, I will introduce the Map/Reduce algorithm, and demonstrate how to write a Map/Reduce application using Java and Apache Hadoop.

Speaker: Jason Lee Topic: Introduction to Android Development Agenda 11:30 am - Welcome Announcements 11:40 am - Main Presentation 12:40 pm - Wrap Up Presentation Information In this presentation, we’ll take a "Hello, World" look at Android development. We will develop, from the ground up, a very simple application, covering such fundamental topics as Activities, Views, Menus, and data access. Time permitting, we’ll finish off the session with a quick look at testing your Android application. We won’t cover every topic and API available to developers, but you should leave with enough information to get you started on your own Android app.

Spring Roo can help by creating and managing your Spring-based applications by allowing you to easily add and configure features such as JPA, Spring MVC, WebFlow, JMS, Email, and Spring Security. For the June 2010 session, an introduction to Spring Roo was presented. However, in this session, we will revisit Spring Roo as a rapid application development framework, examine it’s default architecture, see how usage of AspectJ’s Inter-type declaration(ITD) features can reduce boilerplate code, quickly build and deploy a complete Spring MVC application and show usage of the incremental database reverse engineering (DBRE) addon.

Brent Loschen, a Systems Engineer with Oracle’s Embedded Java team, will give us a high-level overview of what these new features are and what they mean to you as a developer. You may not be able to use Java 7 yet in your enterprise, but after this session, you’ll be armed with the knowledge you need to being requesting it

Clojure is a dynamically typed, functional, compiled language with performance on par with Java. This talk will introduce the Clojure language using Conway’s classic "game of life" with cellular automata. We’ll look at a Clojure implementation and explore different design choices around data representation and concurrency while digressing to teach the basics of the language itself.

Then there was Maven, which provided standardization in build life cycles and dependency management. Now… Enter the Gradle, which provides convention over configuration approach to the build process and an approach at building that isn 't based XML. This session assumes no familiarly with Gradle as it introduces this new approach at building projects. It is very helpful to be able to read and understand groovy to get the most from the session. This session will look at multi-language or polyglot projects, as well as integration to ANT and Maven. It will conclude with building custom plugins for the Gradle build process.

Examples include stubbing static methods, changing final classes and pretty much anything that byte code injection on the fly (per test) allows. We’ll look at some of those things along with more traditional test double creation and then discuss why on the one hand it is nice to have this power, on the other hand you should almost never use it.
