Personal schedule for Mark Russo

Based off the popular title 'The Well-Grounded Java Developer', this tutorial covers four major themes (Java 7, Functional programming, polyglot programming and modern concurrency) which we believe that all Well-Grounded Java developers should be aware of, and start practising to stay ahead of the game in 2012 and beyond. Read more.

In the Matrix, the hero Neo learns Kung Fu in 30 seconds. But in the real world, it takes a three hour OSCON tutorial to master such a skill! In this tutorial, you'll learn what makes Erlang so powerful and how to use it to build your own scalable, fault tolerant distributed systems. At the end, you you'll wake up, turn to your friends and say, "I know Erlang". Read more.

Monty Taylor, manager of Automation and Deployment at HP, will be our guest speaker and will be running a lab session. This will be an in-depth, hands-on session on how to set-up OpenStack. We'll walk through setting up devstack, with the end result of creating a working OpenStack development environment by the end of the night. Read more.

Join us for a day-long program exploring OpenStack, the open source cloud infrastructure platform. Originally founded at NASA and Rackspace, OpenStack has grown to be a global software community of developers collaborating on a standard and massively scalable open source cloud operating system. Read more.

This talk introduces the Java EE 7 platform, the latest revision of the Java platform for the enterprise. Read more.

Storm is an open-source realtime computation system relied upon by Twitter for much of its analytics. Storm does for realtime computation what Hadoop did for batch computation. It has a huge range of applications and combines ease of use with a robust foundation. Since being open-sourced, Storm has been adopted by over 25 companies. Read more.

Why don't more companies practice code review? We all know how beneficial it is, and we've all seen it's successes in open source. What's so hard about bringing it over to the world of commercial software development? Nothing! This is a success story about adopting code review from the open source community and applying it to commercial development. It worked for us. It can work for you too. Read more.

This talk will include a review of the breadth of ZooKeeper features and use cases in low latency systems like ad platforms, high latency WAN environment and high throughput deployments. The talk will also include the future roadmap for ZooKeeper. Read more.

Whether you're consumer or provider, getting the API right is a puzzle. This session gives the best practices for making this relationship easier all round, with clear PHP-based examples and a few war stories to go with them. Read more.

If open APIs and open data are the new open source, then what makes a good API into a great API? This session is a deep-dive on helping you build better APIs. And designing an open API is a lot harder than it looks: protocols, data formats, optimizations, security, abstractions, and more. This session draws on our experience at ProgrammableWeb where we've looked at over 5,000 different open APIs. Read more.

Learn how to use open source to build an enterprise grade log processing and searching solution that scales. We’ll cover the challenges and all the software that makes a diy solution possible: logstash, elasticsearch, rabbitmq and Kibana. We’ll cover a practical use case with examples and provide you with everything you need to get up and running. Read more.

So you have a ton of data that you need to search efficiently. How do you do it? Make friends with search. Index and search solutions can provide distinct advantages over traditional RDBMS systems for storing and querying large data sets. Learn how to leverage elasticsearch, an open source search solution, for fast and painless indexing and querying of data. Read more.

We often hear engineers lament how hard it is to get anything done inside of a big company. The trick to overcoming this is to know the right people, understand how power flows in the organization, and, most importantly, what you can get away with and when. We'll help you understand the human element of navigating companies both big and small through a series of (hopefully) amusing anecdotes. Read more.

This session explores the concept of the network as a source of truth for distributed applications and offers a deep-dive into higher-level problems that often manifest early at level 3. Tying network and application behavior together offers a powerful cocktail for finding and fixing problems in distributed applications quickly while also ensuring timely responses to clients spread across the net. Read more.

After a brief introduction to a methodology to performance tune Java applications, the audience will guide me through the steps needed to tune an application using a number of "poor" (open source) tools that will be instrumental in helping you, the audience, diagnose and repair these problems. Read more.

Web services are everywhere! I'll give you the context you need to use REST web services, and - more importantly - give you the tools you need to debug what's happening while you do. Attendees will be taught how to understand, sniff and debug HTTP traffic to debug web service calls. They will be given a brief overview of REST web services and an overview of how OAuth authentication works. Read more.

Have you ever wished you could know early in a project's development which choices you were making that would later harm the project as it grows in longevity, scale, and complexity? We'll share with you how thanks to software architectural principles and testing discipline, and we'll share with you a few laughs as we relate the bumpy road we took on our way to finding out how ourselves. Read more.

The JVM is capable of amazing network throughput and performance when used properly. Different languages (Java, Scala, Clojure), programming approaches (Asynchronous IO, Blocking IO) can greatly affect throughput and latency. This talk will draw on experience building networks of millions of devices to discuss best practices and contrast emerging idoms on the JVM. Read more.

In this session, Andreas Kollegger will take you on a whirlwind tour of the current NoSQL landscape. He'll give a crash course overview of the four main categories of NoSQL databases, and discuss what's currently lacking to make the enterprise adopt NoSQL, and how to solve it. Read more.

Take the opportunity to network one last time and exchange contact information with one another. Drinks and snacks provided. Read more.
