The Snowboarding joke

Snow Boarder + Ninja + Apple Mac = Web Developer

The Snowboarding joke

A wise man was once said “Give a man a snowboard...
... and you've distracted him for a day.”

“Teach a man to snowboard, and you can't get him to
work.”

*Obviously this is joke true, since none of my other conferences have a “riding day”

What is a social network?
• What are the first web sites people think of a “social networks”?
• The big hitters
– MySpace
– Facebook
– Bebo
– Orkut
• Maybe some interest specific sites
– Boardpassions.com
– Drop19

A language for the Internet: Why JavaScript and Node.js is right for Internet...

Increasingly we want to do more with the web and Internet applications we build. We have more features, more data, more users, more devices and all of it needs to be in real-time. With all of these demands how can we keep up? The answer is choosing a language and a platform that are optimized for the kind of architecture Internet and web applications really have. The traditional approach prioritises computation, assigning server resources before they are actually needed. JavaScript and Node.js both take an event driven approach only assigning resources to events as they happen. This allows us to make dramatic gains in performance and resource utilization while still having an environment which is fun and easy to program.

Node.js is a highly concurrent JavaScript server written on top of the V8 JavaScript runtime. This is awesome for a number of reasons. Firstly Node.js has re-architected some of the core module of V8 to create a server implementation that is non-blocking (similar to other event driven frameworks like Ruby’s Event Machine or Python’s Twisted). Event driven architectures are a natural fit for JavaScript developers because it’s already how the browser works. By using an event driven framework Node is not only intuitive to use but also highly scalable. Tests have shown Node instances running tens of thousands of simultaneous users. This session will explore the architectural basics of Node.js and how it’s different from blocking server implementations such as PHP, Rail or Java Servlets. We’ll explore some basic examples of creating a simple server, dealing with HTTP requests, etc. The bigger question is once we have this awesome programming environment, what do we do with it? Node already has a really vibrant collection of modules which provide a range of functionality. Demystifying what’s available is pretty important to actually getting stuff done with Node. Since Node itself is very low level, lot’s of things people expect in web servers aren’t automatically there (for example, request routing). In order to help ease people into using Node this session will look at a range of the best modules for Node.js.

Server Side JavaScript - You ain't seen nothing yet

Server Side JavaScript - You ain't seen nothing yet

Server Side JavaScript - You ain't seen nothing yet

One of the costs of working on the web has traditionally been having to work in multiple languages. JavaScript has been the only choice for web front-ends, but as soon as you start back-end work, it can be anything from PHP to Python to Perl to Ruby or even C. Anything, that is, but JavaScript.In the last year server-side JavaScript has leapt forward with a passion, partly due to CommonJS but also due to NodeJS. With these new advances we have an opportunity to enjoy more code re-use, and faster, more efficient pages. We’ll explore server-side JavaScript and look at how we can use a JavaScript DOM/BOM to run YUI3 on NodeJS, allowing us to reuse the same code on the client and the server, deliver targeted experiences to various classes of client, and smoke test DOM operations during continuous integration.

The standard Salesforce Approval process can be limiting in many ways, especially in complex scenarios. What if there was a way to implement very flexible approvals where one can use Apex code to make data updates in unrelated records, dynamically generate next steps details, and compute assignees on the fly? And still use UI-based configurations to implement concrete approval processes. In this session, we will share ideas behind such a solution and show a few lines of code to get you started.

ScyllaDB has the potential to deliver impressive performance and scalability. The better you understand how it works, the more you can squeeze out of it. But before you squeeze, make sure you know what to monitor! Watch our experienced Postgres developer work through monitoring and performance strategies that help him understand what mistakes he’s made moving to NoSQL. And learn with him as our database performance expert offers friendly guidance on how to use monitoring and performance tuning to get his sample Rust application on the right track. This webinar focuses on using monitoring and performance tuning to discover and correct mistakes that commonly occur when developers move from SQL to NoSQL. For example: - Common issues getting up and running with the monitoring stack - Using the CQL optimizations dashboard - Common issues causing high latency in a node - Common issues causing replica imbalance - What a healthy system looks like in terms of memory - Key metrics to keep an eye on This isn’t “Death-by-Powerpoint.” We’ll walk through problems encountered while migrating a real application from Postgres to ScyllaDB – and try to fix them live as well.
