Eric Evans (Rackspace)
Moore's Law has run its course, yet despite the growing demands placed on databases, traditional solutions offer little alternative to vertical scaling. Come learn step-by-step how to use Apache Cassandra to turn a cluster of inexpensive commodity servers in to a massively scalable distributed datastore. Read more.
Java

Thomas Lockney (PDXScala, DorkbotPDX, Triactive), Trenton Lipscomb (Amazon Web Services, LLC)
We provide you an introduction to the Scala programming language through its powerful capabilities to integrating with Java. We will demonstrate how Scala can be an effective means of exploring Java libraries such as JAXB, HttpClient and Hibernate. We will show why Scala is our preferred harness, with capabilities beyond Java, Beanshell or Groovy. Read more.
Databases
Location: Portland 255
Jonathan Ellis (DataStax (formerly Riptano))
NoSQL (or NOSQL -- Not Only SQL) is sometimes justly criticized for being too broad a category, but after thirty years of the relational database being the instinctive choice for data storage, publicizing the concept that One Size Does Not Fit All is a Good Thing. This talk will present some axes along which to evaluate database products, applied to some of today's popular NoSQL products. Read more.
Go
Event
Location: F150_El Camp
This session is part of Emerging Languages Camp.
Rob Pike (Google, Inc.)
Go's approach to concurrency differs from that of many languages, even those (such as Erlang) that make concurrency central, yet it has deep roots. The path from Hoare's 1978 paper to Go provides insight into how and why Go works as it does. Read more.
Mobile
Location: D139/140
Jonathan Stark (Jonathan Stark Consulting)
Explore an alternative approach to native mobile app development that allows you to create smooth animation, operate in offline mode, and hook into advanced device features (accelerometer, camera, location, vibration, and sound) using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Read more.
Databases
Location: Portland 255
Database scalability means different things to different people. Vertical vs. Horizontal scaling? Federating vs. Sharding? Despite the labels database scalability tends to fall into a few common patterns that anyone can apply. In this talk we'll discuss factors for applying these patterns including the life-cycle of your database, how hardware affects your choices, and tools to help you on the way Read more.

Giuseppe Maxia (Continuent)
Sharding is a hot topic. Every big web site is using some sharding technique with home made solutions. The quest for the silver bullet goes on without apparent good results. This session will present two MySQL storage engines (Spider and Vertical partitioning) that implement transparent sharding techniques. Read more.
Zohar Babin (Kaltura), Jason Levitt (TIC), Tab Atkins Jr. (Google, Inc.)
Admist a number of proprietary alternatives such as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, and Sun JavaFX, the HTML 5 specification now offers competitive multimedia features that promises a more open platform for RIA development. What are the tradeoffs? This session will look at the current state of the art, and then invite a conversation about the future. Read more.
Databases
Location: Portland 255
MongoDB (from "humongous") is a high-performance, open source, schema-free document-oriented database. Read more.
Java
Location: D137
Howard Lewis Ship (TWD Consulting)
Aside from learning Clojure's syntax and approach to functional programming and concurrency, there's also the more mundane issues: What editor do I use? How to I build large projects? How do I share my work with others? This session will discuss IDEs and plugins, command line build tools, and web sites. Read more.
JavaScript
Location: Portland 255
WebSockets is an exciting new technology that enables bidirectional communication between web applications and server-side processes. Google's Chrome browser already provides WebSockets and developers can expect to see the technology in other browsers in 2010. This presentation will cover the WebSocket protocol, JavaScript API, and server-side implementations. Read more.
JavaScript
Location: Portland 255
Mike Hostetler (appendTo, LLC), Jonathan Sharp (appendTo LLC.)
jQuery UI is the official jQuery suite of interactions and widgets for building Rich Internet Applications. It makes building web interfaces as refreshingly simple as jQuery has made Ajax and the DOM. As simple as $('<p>Hello, World</p>').dialog(); Read more.
Steven Parkes (smparkes.net llc)
Testing is JavaScript's Achilles' heel: the language is powerful with good library support, but testing practices are cumbersome to non-existent. This talk demonstrates a set of tools that make test/behavior driven development in JavaScript as quick and effective as Java, Ruby, or Python, including aspects unique to JavaScript such as the browser environment and asynchronous programming. Read more.
JavaScript
Location: Portland 255
Tom Hughes-Croucher (Jetpacks for Dinosaurs)
While JavaScript is ubiquitous on the web it isn't really well known outside of the browser. All of that is about to change. Node.js is a fast, non-blocking, event driven server that is opening the door for JavaScript on the server. For everyone who ever wanted to use JavaScript everywhere, or wondered just how fast a server can go, this talk if for you. Read more.
Robin Anil (Google)
Data is exploding all over the internet. There is immense knowledge within this huge volume of information that needs to be unlocked. We need to Mine patterns, Find clusters, Organize content and Predict the future. In this talk, we will show what these methods are and how the new Apache Mahout project is attempting to solve these problems in a scalable way by utilizing Hadoop. Read more.

Tools & Techniques
Location: E145/E146
Tim Bray (Google, Inc.)
Computers are getting wider, not faster. If you want your code to run faster, it has to have some parallelism. This is hard, and threads probably aren't the answer. There is a lot of new concurrency technology on the scene. This talk surveys the 2010 state of the art in tools to empower developers to write concurrent code, and makes some predictions. Read more.
Java
Location: Portland 251
