Amplifying Your Voice - Social Media 201Mark Anderson
These are the slides created by Monica Burns (@ClassTechTips), Kelly Grogan (@KellyEd121), Kristin Ziemke (@KristinZiemke) and me, Mark Anderson @ICTEvangelist. They come from our recent session together on 'Amplifying your voice' aka Social Media 201 for Educators.
Welcome to OUT OF THE BLOG FOG: Intro to Blogging with your presenter Chris Brown. This 45-minute podcast and PowerPoint presentation was recorded live on Saturday May 1st at the very first annual PodCamp Cleveland un-conference. To find more sessions from Pod Camp Cleveland ’10, search #PCCLV10 in both twitter and in Google. Audio will be added soon.
A short ppt I prepared for showing at my IT club meeting in school to encourage children to adopt Blogging. This presentation introduces newcomers to some basic concepts in blogging.
Caching has been an essential strategy for greater performance in computing since the beginning of the field. Nearly all applications have data access patterns that make caching an attractive technique, but caching also has hidden trade-offs related to concurrency, memory usage, and latency.
As we build larger distributed systems, caching continues to be a critical technique for building scalable, high-throughput, low-latency applications. Large systems tend to magnify the caching trade-offs and have created new approaches to distributed caching. There are unique challenges in testing systems like these as well.
Ehcache and Terracotta provide a unique way to start with simple caching for a small system and grow that system over time with a consistent API while maintaining low-latency, high-throughput caching.

A talk about doing innovative software development including embracing constraints, iterating towards product/market fit, and the qualities of a great innovative team. This presentation was given at the St. Louis Innovation Camp in Feb, 2010.
Releasing Relational Data to the Semantic WebAlex Miller
Enterprises are drowning in data that they can't find, access, or use.
For many years, enterprises have wrestled with the best way to combine all that data into actionable information without building systems that break as schemas evolve. Approaches like warehousing and ETL can be brittle in the face of changing data sources or expensive to create. Data integration at the application level is common but this results in significant complexity in the code. Data-oriented web services attempt to provide reusable sources of integrated data, however these have just added another layer of data access that constrain query and access patterns.
This talk will look at how semantic web technologies can be used to make existing data visible and actionable using standards like RDF (data), R2RML (data translation), OWL (schema definition and integration), SPARQL (federated query), and RIF (rules). The semantic web approach takes the data you already have and makes that data available for query and use across your existing data sources. This base capability is an excellent platform for building federated analytics.
Stream Execution with Clojure and Fork/joinAlex Miller
One of the greatest benefits of Clojure is its ability to create simple, powerful abstractions that operate at the level of the problem while also operating at the level of the language.
This talk discusses a query processing engine built in Clojure that leverages this abstraction power to combine streams of data for efficient concurrent execution.
* Representing processing trees as s-expressions
* Streams as sequences of data
* Optimizing processing trees by manipulating s-expressions
* Direct execution of s-expression trees
* Compilation of s-expressions into nodes and pipes
* Concurrent processing nodes and pipes using a fork/join pool
Using Groovy? Got lots of stuff to do at the same time? Then you need to take a look at GPars (“Jeepers!”), a library providing support for concurrency and parallelism in Groovy. GPars brings powerful concurrency models from other languages to Groovy and makes them easy to use with custom DSLs:
- Actors (Erlang and Scala)
- Dataflow (Io)
- Fork/join (Java)
- Agent (Clojure agents)
In addition to this support, GPars integrates with standard Groovy frameworks like Grails and Griffon.
Background, comparisons to other languages, and motivating examples will be given for the major GPars features.
Terracotta (an open source technology) provides a clustered, durable virtual heap. Terracotta's goal is to make Java apps scale with as little effort as possible. If you are using Hibernate, there are several patterns that can be used to leverage Terracotta and reduce the load on your database so your app can scale.
First, you can use the Terracotta clustered Hibernate cache. This is a high-performance clustered cache and allows you to avoid hitting the database on all nodes in your cluster. It's suitable, not just for read-only, but also for read-mostly and read-write use cases, which traditionally have not been viewed as good use cases for Hibernate second level cache.
Another high performance option is to disconnect your POJOs from their Hibernate session and manage them entirely in Terracotta shared heap instead. This is a great option for conversational data where the conversational data is not of long-term interest but must be persistent and highly-available. This pattern can significantly reduce your database load but does require more changes to your application than using second-level cache.
This talk will examine the basics of what Terracotta provides and examples of how you can scale your Hibernate application with both clustered second level cache and detached clustered state. Also, we'll take a look at Terracotta's Hibernate-specific monitoring tools.
Maybe you've heard of Clojure, one of those new-fangled JVM languages. How does anybody get any work done in a language like that? What's up with all those parentheses?
If you're coming from Java and OOP, Clojure can indeed feel disorienting. In this talk we'll demystify the basics of Clojure and dissect the source of its power. Functional programming is on the rise and Clojure is indeed a functional language, but we'll learn the real secret sauce that makes cooking with Clojure fun.
We'll look at how to translate concepts you know in Java (like domain objects, interfaces, collections, and concurrency) into their natural Clojure equivalents. And more importantly, we'll learn how these components interact to make Clojure a beautiful language for building abstractions.
No prior knowledge of Clojure or functional programming is assumed... Clojure novices welcome!
Clojure is a new language that combines the power of Lisp with an existing hosted VM ecosystem (the Java VM). Clojure is a dynamically typed, functional, compiled language with performance on par with Java.
At the heart of all programming lies the need for abstraction, be it abstraction over our data or abstraction over the processes that operate upon it. Clojure provides a core set of powerful abstractions and ways to compose them. These abstractions are based in a heritage of Lisp but also cover many aspects of object-oriented programming as well.
This talk will examine these abstractions and introduce you to both Clojure and functional programming. Attendees are not expected to be familiar with either Clojure or FP.
Women in Data Meetup, February 2014
The talk introduces a visualisation grammar called spruce-leaf. Spruce-leaf is a declarative format for creating interactive leaflet maps. The talk is aimed at developers and non-developers alike - no programming knowledge is necessary. With spruce-leaf you can describe the visualisation in JSON format: merge your shapefile (e.g. map of CCG areas in the UK) with CSV data, colour the features, add legend and hover-on information box.
One of the greatest benefits of Clojure is its ability to create simple, powerful abstractions that operate at the level of the problem while also operating at the level of the language.
This talk discusses a query processing engine built in Clojure that leverages this abstraction power to combine streams of data for efficient concurrent execution.
* Representing processing trees as s-expressions
* Streams as sequences of data
* Optimizing processing trees by manipulating s-expressions
