Ken Sipe is a Technology Director with Perficient, Inc. (PRFT), IBM's largest service partner, where he leads multiple teams in the development of solutions in the SOA, Web 2.0 and portal domains, on both the Java and .Net platforms.

Ken was the founder of CodeMentor, where he was the Chief Architect and Mentor, leading clients in the execution of RUP and Agile methodologies in the delivery of software solutions. He is a former trainer for Rational in OOAD and RUP, and a CORBA Visibroker trainer for Borland. He continues to enjoy providing training and mentoring in all aspects of software development.

Ken has a deep need to be highly diversified. Ken often works with IT executives on high-level strategic roadmaps, currently geared around service oriented architectures (SOA). Ken also likes to keep his hands "dirty" in the code, which has him on a regular basis, pairing or otherwise producing code. Ken is regularly requested by clients that know him to "rescue" projects, either through the streamlining of processes or the rapid production of code.

Ken is a certified JBoss developer and is a frequent participates on open source projects. Ken is currently interested in the growing maturity of SOA solutions in the open source space, such as the ESB solutions like ServiceMix and Mule, or rules engines such as JBossRules.

We'll discuss JRuby.  We'll introduce you to the basics of Ruby.  You'll see how you can put the productivity of the Ruby language together with the power of the Java platform.  And of course, we'll see how JRuby lets you use the popular Rails framework in your favorite Java servlet container.

Chris Nelson is a director of cinjug and has presented at JavaOne, TheServerSide Java Symposium, and OSCON, as well as other JUGs in the midwest.  Chris is currently an independent consultant helping companies deliver software using Java and Ruby.

The Google Web Toolkit(GWT) is a great tool for any Java developer looking to create advanced interactive web based applications. Thanks to the release of the source code to the open source community under the Apache 2.0 license, we can now examine in detail how the GWT works it's magic in transforming regular Java code into HTML and javascript to create an interactive web-based system.

Joseph Sinclair is a Software Engineer currently working for Google in Tempe. Joseph has been writing software for networked and web-based systems for almost 20 years. A leader in the Free/Open Source Software community, Joseph is a strong advocate for open innovation, greater access to technology, and greater attention to accessibility in developing web-based content and applications.

Within every innocent web application lies a sleeping monster. There comes a time when every successful web application outgrows its single-machine architecture. Whether for high-availability, scalability, or both, the adult web application must grow to live on more than one application server. That’s when the latent beast strikes: the State Monster.

The most recent accepted wisdom about solving application state problems in a scaled-out production architecture is to make your web application “stateless”—i.e., externalize all application state out of the application tier so that any application server can serve any user request. Unfortunately for the owners of such applications, making it “stateless” is hard to do, corrupts the programming and data model of the application, and pushes the problem out to other pieces of infrastructure that are ill-equipped to handle it.

Stateless programming is hard on the application developer, hard on the application infrastructure, and hard on the application. There must be a better way to write business applications. In this talk, we will discuss the current “stateless” application paradigm, its shortcomings, and a new alternative using Terracotta’s open-source availability and scalability technology for the Java Virtual Machine.

Orion Letizi is a co-founder and software engineer at Terracotta. He has worked in enterprise Java for nearly ten years. Before Terracotta, he was a software architect at Walmart.com.

OpenEdit is made for web professionals who need a better way to build and maintain web sites for their clients.

OpenEdit allows you to create web sites on a powerful Web Content Management System with built in eCommerce and blog software. This fast, open source platform does not require a database and can be used on top of existing html, jsp or php web sites.

Christopher Burkey is the main developer of OpenEdit and one of the founders of Cinjug. Christopher works with regional solutions providers supporting many OpenEdit installations around the world.

Scott Davis is the Editor in Chief of aboutGroovy.com. The website, in addition to being, umm, about Groovy, is implemented in Grails. This talk shows you how to get started with Grails, but also talks about the experience of using it in a live, production web site.

Grails is a web framework that maximizes the strengths of familiar Java libraries — Spring, Hibernate, and Sitemesh, to name a few — while minimizing the XML jockeying it usually takes to get them all to play nicely with one another. It brings “Convention over Configuration” to Java. It uses Groovy as the language to glue the pieces together, which means that experienced JEE developers can learn Groovy in the context of libraries that they are already familiar with.

Grails includes a web server, a database, and all of the libraries necessary for a full-fledged web application. It will even generate a directory structure and scaffold common classes (Controllers, Views, etc.). It is no exaggeration to say that you will have your first application up and running in minutes. But Grails is more than about a quick start. In this talk, we’ll look at ways to move beyond the default configurations. We’ll deploy a Grails app to an external Tomcat instance instead of the included Jetty server. We’ll move from the default HSQLDB database to MySQL. We’ll include external JARs to bring new functionality to the mix.

Scott Davis is an author and independent consultant. He is passionate about open source solutions and agile development. He has worked on a variety of Java platforms, from J2EE to J2SE to J2ME (sometimes all on the same project).

He is the co-author of JBoss At Work, quite possibly the world's first agile J2EE book. He is also responsible for several mapping books, including Google Maps API and GIS for Web Developers: Adding Where to Your Web Applications. Most recently, Scott became the Editor in Chief of aboutGroovy.com, a news and information website that tracks the latest developments in Groovy and Grails. Scott is a frequent presenter at national conferences (such as No Fluff, Just Stuff) and local user groups.

• Apply automated software inspection and run-time analysis tools to help identify common problems that can cause performance and scalability issues. Discuss the problems found and demonstrate how tools can help accelerate the implementation of appropriate solutions. Discuss what development teams can do to avoid the problems on future projects.

• Find:
  • Apply software quality audits (check for common coding errors and enforce standards)
  • Apply software quality metrics (measure object-oriented design characteristics such as complexity, cohesion, and coupling)
  • Reverse engineer structure and behavior (Reverse engineer class diagrams and generated sequence diagrams)
  • Apply Application Quality Analyzer (analyze J2EE components for performance issues, detect misuses of J2EE, identify errors)
  • Discuss discovered problems (excessive temporary objects, dead code, highly complex methods, etc.)
  • Generate documentation
• Fix:
  • Discuss principles of software remodeling (audits/metrics, design patterns, refactoring)
  • Create JUnit tests (code with confidence)
