Presentations
Comparing Kick-Ass Web Frameworks
What's the best Web Framework? It's a question developers often ask when they begin they begin a new project. This session will take a cynical look at four web frameworks that make developers happy: Rails, Grails, GWT and Flex.
APIs are easy to create with both Rails and Grails, but which one scales better? Rich UIs can be created with GWT or Flex, but do both offer end users the same user experience? This session looks at the pros and cons of each framework and will help you decide which framework might work best for your application.
Building SOFEA Applications with Grails and GWT
In early 2009, Matt participated in a major enhancement of a high-traffic well-known internet site. The company wanted to quickly re-architect their site and use a modern Ajax framework to do it with. An Ajax Framework evaluation was done to help the team choose the best framework for their skillset. The application was built with a SOFEA architecture using GWT on the frontend and Grails/REST on the backend.
This talk will cover how Matt's team came to choose GWT and Grails, as well as stumbling blocks they encountered along the way. In addition, we'll explore many topics such as raw GWT vs. GXT and SmartGWT, the GWT-Plugin, modularizing your code, multiple EntryPoints, integration testing and JSON parsing with Overlay Types.
Comparing JVM Web Frameworks
The rise of Java Web Frameworks has come and gone, yet many are still widely used today. This session looks at the top JVM web frameworks and compares their pros and cons.
Frameworks included: Struts 2, Spring MVC, Wicket, JSF, Tapestry, GWT, Grails and Rails.
Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Online Video
This session takes you through the nitty-gritty of online video and what it takes to build a high-traffic video portal. How do you get content, encode it properly and deliver it to a CMS and CDN? How do you program the backend infrastructure to handle load and high-availability? We'll also talk about various clients (Flash, HTML5, iPhone, iPad, Android, Sony) and lessons we've learned implementing applications on them.
This session should be particularly interesting since it's being delivered by members of the Online Video Team at Time Warner Cable, the 2nd Largest Cable Provider in the US.
Books
by Matt Raible
- The Spring Primer is the most complete book on the Spring Framework. It is for users who are familiar with Java development but have never used Spring. As you read this title, you will learn how Spring reduces the amount of code you have to write and why it receives so much attention and respect from the Java community. This book is very code-intensive and contains many examples for developing applications with Spring. You'll use Test-Driven Development to rapidly develop and test a simple CRUD application. All of the code in this book is available on SourceBeat's web site. In addition, an open-source project called Equinox is available as part of this book to help users get started quickly and easily with Spring.

This is the first comprehensive guide to cover JSP 2 and 2.1. It supplies you with the tools and techniques to develop web applications with JSP and Java servlets. You'll learn to choose and implement the best persistence option for your web applications, and how to secure web sites against malicious attack and accidental misuse. You will improve the performance and scalability of JSP pages, as well as architect reliable, stable applications.
The authors describe all of the rich JSP 2 features, and explain JSF integration with JSP. Completing the thorough package, this book examines how integration with open source projects like Ant, Struts, XDoclet, JUnit, and Cactus can make web development even easier.

Simpler, faster, easier dynamic website development based on new additions to an established and proven technology&emdash;that's what JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.0 is all about. Pro JSP, Third Edition is the most comprehensive guide and reference to JSP 2.0 yet. It equips you with the tools, techniques, and understanding you need to develop web applications with JSP and Java servlets.
The new features of the JSP 2.0 and Servlet 2.4 specifications make developing web applications easier than ever before. The new JSP Expression Language (EL) provides a new, simple language for creating JSP pages and tags. In addition, by also using the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL), you'll never have to use a Java scriptlet or write spaghetti code again.
Beyond covering the JSP and Servlet APIs, this book shows you how to choose and implement the best persistence option for your web applications; how to secure your web sites against malicious attack and accidental misuse; how to improve the performance and scalability of your JSP pages; and how to architect and design your applications to be reliable, stable, and maintainable through the use of design patterns and best practices.
Finally, no JSP book would be complete today without looking at the role that open source projects such as Ant, Struts, XDoclet, JUnit, and Cactus can play in making your web development even easier.
