Building 'Bootiful'­ Applications with Spring Boot

Spring Boot, the new convention-over-configuration centric framework from the Spring team at Pivotal, marries Spring's flexibility with conventional, common sense defaults to make application development not just fly, but pleasant!

Your Data, Your Search, Elasticsearch

Finding relevant information fast has always been a challenge, even more so in today's growing "oceans" of data. This talk explores the area of real-time full text search, using Elasticsearch, an open-source, distributed search engine built on top of Apache Lucene. The session will showcase how to perform real-time searches on structured and non-structured data alike, how to cope with types and suggestions, do social graph filters and aggregations for efficient analytics. All from a Spring perspective Last but not least, the presentation focuses on the Hadoop platform and how Map/Reduce, Hive, Pig or Cascading jobs can leverage a search engine to significantly speed up execution and enhance their capabilities.

The presentation covers architectural topics such as index scalability, data locality and partitioning, using off and on-premise storages (HDFS, S3, local file-systems) and multi-tenancy.

Application Security Pitfalls

Creating a secure application involves more then just applying Spring Security to it. This is of course not a new topic, but with the increased popularity of much more dynamic configurations for Servlet Containers and various Spring Projects, like Spring MVC and Spring Integration, it becomes more important to know about the Security tradeoffs we might get with that, and how to tackle them.

Top 10 aspects to consider before buying a Laptop

There is a wonderful article in Economic Times explaining about top 10 aspects to consider before purchasing a laptop.

It explains about touch screen, storage, optical drives. It suggests to choose thinner, lighter and log battery life laptops. It gives multiple options to choose correct laptop which suits our needs.

Gothough the below link for more information:

AOP-ing your JavaScript

Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) is a technique for augmenting the behavior of objects, methods, and functions non-invasively. AOP adds new behaviors and modifies existing behaviors "from the outside". Using AOP, it's possible to create connections between components without either having any knowledge of the other and without any extra library dependencies in your code.

While you may be familiar with AOP in Spring, you may not yet have applied it in JavaScript. In this talk, we'll do just that. We'll introduce simple techniques for applying AOP in pure JavaScript using no additional libraries, and then look at meld.js (https://github.com/cujojs/meld), the AOP library that powers Cujo.js (http://cujojs.com). We'll work from simple examples of making connections between components to more sophisticated examples that integrate pubsub, message buses, etc. in a truly loosely coupled way.

Real Time Analytics with Spring

Today's solutions must provide the ability to interpret related events and understand trends that are happening right now. This session will cover some of the out of the box capabilities of Spring XD to tap into big data streams and generate metrics such as simple counters, aggregate counters, moving averages, rates of change, and histograms. Hands-on demos will show you how Spring XD uses Redis and GemFire's Continuous Query and Function Execution to incorporate real-time analytics into event-driven applications.

Intro To WebSocket Applications with Spring Framework 4.0

This update to last year's presentation, covers the new standard Java WebSocket API (JSR-356) including a discussion of positives and limitations, an update on the current status of WebSocket support across Servlet containers, and of course the Spring Framework 4.0 WebSocket support -- how to configure and use it and what additional benefits it provides. A central part of this is Spring's support for SockJS, the protocol for transparent WebSocket fallback options for use in applications that for example need to run in IE 10 and eariler.

This presentation is for you if you want a comprehensive introduction to WebSocket including standard Java EE 7 and Spring Framework 4.0 support. For a more practical take on how to actually build WebSocket-style applications that skips the introduction, please attend the next presentation Building WebSocket Browser Applications with Spring by Rossen Stoyanchev and Scott Andrews, or attend both presentations. They are intended to be complementary.

Hadoop - Just the Basics for Big Data Rookies

This session assumes absolutely no knowledge of Apache Hadoop and will provide a complete introduction to all the major aspects of the Hadoop ecosystem of projects and tools. If you are looking to get up to speed on Hadoop, trying to work out what all the Big Data fuss is about, or just interested in brushing up your understanding of MapReduce, then this is the session for you. We will cover all the basics with detailed discussion about HDFS, MapReduce, YARN (MRv2), and a broad overview of the Hadoop ecosystem including Hive, Pig, HBase, ZooKeeper and more.
