As JavaScript continues to grow in popularity, an increasing number of ex-Java developers are moving to the language. Each language has its own set of best practices and patterns for creating clean code and they aren't always transferable.

In this lightning talk, I'll explain a number of common "anti-patterns" that I've repeatedly seen in "recovering" Java developers who have moved to JavaScript. I'll also be providing the solutions to help remove these issues from your codebase today!

Come and see the coolest thing I've ever done at IBM :o)

A Raspberry Pi is a credit card sized computer designed for encouraging school children to program. I've taken that uber-lightweight computer and installed Debian Linux, Java and the new Liberty Profile.

Come to this session to have a play with the Raspberry Pi to hear what I did and some of the problems/fun I had! Also you'll what's likely to be the smallest computer WebSphere App Server has *ever* run on in the world, for your own eyes!

As web applications continue to become more interactive and sophisticated, real-time messaging and updates are becoming increasingly prevalent. Performance optimizations and constraints for real-time web and mobile web applications are crucial to successful application deployment. One of the hottest new APIs in HTML5 is WebSocket, which enables true duplex communication without the overhead, complexity, and extraneous latency of HTTP-based solutions. Although WebSocket is an exciting new API, we can easily fallback to HTTP-based techniques when WebSocket is not available with Dojo's Socket API. Finally we'll review the future of real-time applications, including bi-directional audio and video streaming.

Your company needs a Mobile solution fast but there are so many choices to make! Should you take a Mobile Web approach? Or go with a Hybrid or Native app? Serve content or package it in the app? Can you have code reuse with multi-channel delivery? What do these questions even mean? Discuss these and more on the road to Mobile!

In this talk we will explore a thought invoking DevOps concept of using agile development tools for source code management to manage environment configuration changes to ensure consistent and repeatable updates to running environments. The DevOps community often call the environment configuration changes that are stored in a version management system as "Infrastructure as Code". Another controversional point that will be covered is the question: "Who developes Infrastructure as Code?". We will introduce the notion of a new role called an "Infrastructure Engineer" into the vocabulary of the attendees as the role that would produce "Infrastructure as Code".

There are lots of choices in how to expose your application APIs remotely. We can use REST, Web Services, SCA, and lots of other technologies...but what are the downsides and upsides to each? Which are best for creation and consumption?

The WebSphere Application Server v8.5 Liberty Profile Beta introduced a lightweight application server that greatly simplifies development. So how fast is it? Join to see some of the cool features of the Liberty Profile in a demo that's shorter than the product name!

From a blank IDE screen to a real app running on a Mobile smartphone. Watch this tools demo to see how it's done. Don't blink or you'll miss it!

DevOps - how this emerging cloud enabled approach can make you responsive to customer needs in an innovative manner

The best way to build secure applications is by integrating security practices into every phase of the software development process. However, all too often, security testing is tacked on to the end of the test cycle, or ignored altogether.

Let's discuss what it would take, to build white box and black box application security testing into your development organizations.

More and more of the concepts of agility and performance are based on the ability to abstract services and scale them to meet the individual SLA's for that service. With new models of implementing such as a caching ESB and federated ESB's new patterns and considerations are having to be considered.

Gone are the days of the lone coder. With teams distributed by space as well as time, we'll discuss you how you can work more efficiently and effectively with advanced team collaboration capabilities provided by Rational Application Developer and Rational Team Concert.

Come see what the future holds for your development environment. Ok, maybe we won't be holding hands, but let's talk about what the the ideal development environment of the future will be like. We'll talk about what advanced features already exist in IBM tools today and what the next generation IDE could be like.

Now that WebSphere 8.0 is released with Java EE 6 support there are new ways to implement common use cases found in applications. In particular for people coming from the J2EE 1.4 world of WebSphere 6.1 it will be helpful to know how much change has been introduced and how with modern Java EE versions you may approach an application completely differently. It would also help to know which of the "J2EE Patterns" are now anti-patterns with the availability of new technologies.

It is not only about standars, protocols, formats... is more about everything in the cloud with connected communities, people, messages, information flowing from one device to another...
More variables than ever: INFORMATION, TIME and PLACE from any kind of device to another powered by automation or people.
Could be the future
Let's talk about the future, is it is driving the change to another server model?

Cover topics of JMS Queue's, High Availability and scalable workload processing for MQ that could be distributed on the 'cloud'.
