Buy AND build. A strategy for building applications that spans both packaged applications and custom development

Speaker:
Christopher Hearn
Keynote
Beschreibung:

Classically companies have two choices when it comes to their IT strategies: build or buy (packaged applications versus custom development). Buy generally offers better long-term value for money; Build promises more flexibility. Of course, typically companies will deploy packaged applications (e.g. SAP) AND have in a different silo custom development (Java, .NET and so on). However, the two are weakly linked (generally with some sort of expensive and inflexible integration framework), there is redundancy of work, indeed the two groups often do not talk to one another. The result is a lack of agility in building out new applications in response to changing business requirements. This presentation will look at a strategy (particularly as regards custom development based on the Java stack) that can combine the best of both worlds.

The State of Web Frameworks

Speaker:
Craig McClanahan
Keynote
Beschreibung:

The space of Web application frameworks has seen, and continues to see, a tremendous amount of innovation over the last few years. At the same time, standardization efforts around JavaServer Faces have energized their own burst of activity. How does an application architect choose between 50 or so available options? We will review the set of problems that Web application frameworks solve, and offer some ideas on what might be useful decision making criteria for your projects.

Introducing Eclipse Callisto

Speaker:
Mike Milinkovich
Keynote
Beschreibung:

This summer Eclipse is shipping it's first ever release train, codenamed Callisto. Currently there are ten separate Eclipse projects which are working hard to ship on the very same day: BIRT, C/C++, Data Tools, Eclipse (including Java development tools and rich client platform), EMF, GEF, GMF, Test and Performance, Visual Editor and Web Tools. For the Java developer, this will give them a great collection of open source tools to use for development. Even more importantly, it will provide a comprehensive set of frameworks to build products and applications on top of. This talk will provide a look into the major new features coming from each of the projects, and how Callisto will impact the commercial businesses rapidly growing around the Eclipse technology.

Escaping the Technology Cycle

Speaker:
Rod Johnson
Keynote
Beschreibung:

The Java/Java EE technology platform continues to evolve at a rapid rate.
This pace of change is problematic for enterprise application development, as enterprise software assets must often serve for 5-10 years, rather than the typical 2 year generational changes of Java technology.

Fortunately, today's POJO-based technologies provide a way to maximize the life of your investment, by decoupling your business logic and domain model from volatile infrastructure.

In this keynote, Rod Johnson will discuss the challenges in building long-lived Java applications, and how to ensure that maintenance of your applications is primarily driven by changes in business requirements, rather than technology platform.
