What's new in Groovy 2.0?
After a quick look at the key features of Groovy 1.8, including more readable Domain-Specific Languages, concurrency capabilities with the GPars library, and built-in JSON support, we'll dive right into the most important features of Groovy 2.0! A lot of the Groovy users are using the language as a Java scripting language, or sometimes as a better Java. First of all, not all of them need the dynamic capabilities, nor do they need all the library improvements provided by Groovy. For the latter, Groovy becomes more modular with smaller core modules that you can compose. For the former, in addition to its usual dynamic features, Groovy 2.0 adds static type checking, allowing you to ensure the correctness of your code before it ships and quickly spot early errors at compile time. Also, not everybody needs dynamic features at all times, and the natural extension to static type checking is static compilation. With static compilation, Groovy 2.0 generates fast and performant bytecode like Java, and shields key parts of your code base from possible interferences of dynamic features, making critical paths both faster and immune to monkey patching. But when you need fast and performant dynamic logic, Groovy 2.0 also features the integration of the "invoke dynamic" support coming up with JDK 7 and beyond.
Cedric Champeau
11:30-12:30
Spring MVC & Multi-Client Development
No application is an island. Increasingly, developers need to build not just one rich web application that works only with the desktop's various browsers (and we thought getting an application that performed reliably across Firefox, Safari, Chrome and IE was trouble enough!), but with an increasing multitude of clients - phones, tablets, or TVs and more! HTTP access is common among all these target platforms, but not much else. This fact, and the inevitable return of UI state back to the client, has fostered a wave of new patterns for building applications: RESTful, data-centric services endpoints on the server, and applications that consume these services - sometimes securely over REST - on the client. This pattern's got a name - SOFEA - or service-oriented front end applications - and Spring makes it easy to build them. In this talk, Josh Long introduces how to build secure RESTful services with Spring on the service tier and introduces strategies and APIs (Spring Android, Spring Mobile, PhoneGap) for building better experiences on the clients.
Josh Long
11:30-12:30
Ruby Basics on Cloud Foundry
In this session we will cover how to create a manifest for your application detailing all of the resources it needs to run, how auto reconfiguration helps you seamlessly transition between your local environment and the cloud, how standalone Ruby applications work, and which tasks Ruby applications can help you accomplish.
Jennifer Hickey
11:30-12:30
Grails update
When Grails was first released, it brought the benefits of frameworks like Ruby on Rails and Django to the Java platform. Built on such industry heavyweights as Spring and Hibernate, it allows you to rapidly build web applications while still giving you access to the underlying libraries when you need that level of control. Version 2.0, released at the end of last year, introduces many improvements such as an interactive console with command completion, more data stores that you can access via its ORM, and even better support for testing. See these new features in action and find out what other goodies are coming in the near future.

Enterprise Integration Patterns with Spring Integration
In this workshop Oleg will give a short overview of the Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) as catalogued in the highly influential book of the same name and as one of the core developers of the Spring Integration(SI) framework (EIP reference implementation), Oleg will introduce Spring Integration, its API and will demonstrate how SI enables the development of Message and Event based systems. Along the way, you will see how SI builds upon familiar Spring idioms such as interceptors, templates, strategy and other patterns. You will also see how SI maximizes reuse of the integration support available in the Spring Framework core for everything from remoting, JMS/AMQP, data, transactions, task execution and others flattening the learning curve considerably for those already familiar with Spring framework. After attending this workshop, you will be able to start applying these patterns immediately within your Spring-based applications to solve many of the challenges of enterprise integration.This session consists of 30% slide-ware and 70% live coding.

13:30-14:30
Decomposing Applications for Scalability and Deployability
Today, there are several trends that are forcing application architectures to evolve. Users expect a rich, interactive and dynamic user experience on a wide variety of clients including mobile devices. Applications must be highly scalable, highly available and run on cloud environments. Organizations often want to frequently roll out updates, even multiple times a day. Consequently, it’s no longer adequate to develop simple, monolithic web applications that serve up HTML to desktop browsers. In this talk we describe the limitations of a monolithic architecture. You will learn how to use the scale cube to decompose your application into a set of narrowly focused, independently deployable back-end services and an HTML 5 client. We will also discuss the role of technologies such as NodeJS and AMQP brokers. You will learn how a modern PaaS such as Cloud Foundry simplifies the development and deployment of this style of application.
Chris Richardson
13:30-14:30
Groovy & Grails for Spring developers
Java is a good all-purpose programming language, but does that mean it's the best tool for all jobs? In this talk, you'll see how Groovy can scratch itches you didn't even know you had. From scripts, to writing unit tests, to building projects, we'll take you through use cases that highlight the advantages of having a second language in your tool chest. In the second part of the talk, you'll find out how Grails simplifies web application development without sacrificing flexibility and power. Built on Spring, it eliminates the need to write a lot of plumbing for your application while still allowing you the full power of Spring.
Peter Ledbrook
14:45-15:45
NoSQL Options with Spring Data
NoSQL databases such as MongoDB, Redis, Neo4J, Gemfire and others are changing the data landscape for enterprise developers with the promise of better scalability and performance. Each NoSQL option offers different benefits and APIs but fortunately for Spring developers there is a way to easily incorporate each solution into your application so you can use the best solution for your problem. This session reviews the major Spring Data sub-projects and gives developers the basic information they need to get started using Spring and popular NoSQL solutions.
Costin Leau
14:45-15:45
Becoming a Node.js Ninja on Cloud Foundry
In this session you will learn about: What Node.js is, the internal workings of Node.js & the buzz around it, aspects of asynchronous code, callbacks, async exception handling, events, organizing Node.js code, modules, npm, package.json, managing your Node.js apps on Cloud Foundry, how easy it is to run your Node.js app in Cloud Foundry with very few modifications, and how to use various tools offered by Cloud Foundry to manage, scale & debug your apps.

Mark Downey
14:45-15:45
Writing AST transformations in Groovy: a beginner's guide
AST transformations are one of the most powerful features of the Groovy language. Using annotations in code, you can dramatically reduce the size of the code: for example, adding @ToString on a class would generate the toString() code of a class for you. You can even leverage the light syntax rules of the language to provide beautiful DSLs (see for example the Spock Framework for testing). In this session, we will learn what AST transforms cover, what you can do with them, and write a simple AST transformation as an introduction to compile time metaprogramming in Groovy. After this session, you will be ready to write your own AST transformations and, why not, contribute to the language!
Cedric Champeau
16:00-17:00
Batch & Hadoop Workloads with Spring
Enterprise data has exploded in volume and now requires data-intensive distributed applications like those enabled by Apache Hadoop. Distributed map-reduce style computations require a different approach to data access than traditional enterprise Java applications. This session will show how Spring Batch and the new Spring Hadoop project make it straightforward for developers to meet the challenges of enterprise "big data".

Grails and the World of Tomorrow, Peter Ledrook
It's an interesting time in the world of application development. We're in the middle of a perfect storm where cloud deployments, alternative data stores, and rich, multi-device client UIs are emerging as the future standards. What does this mean for Grails developers and what does the framework offer in this very different world? We'll look at potential changes to the way applications are designed and how you can leverage the current and future features of Grails to take advantage of those changes.
