Gr8conf US 2015: Reactive Options for GroovySteve Pember
Reactive applications and Reactive programming are an alternative to the standard thread-based imperative programming model that can result in flexible, concise code. The Reactive approach has gained popularity recently for one simple reason: we need alternative designs and architectures to meet today’s demands. However, it can be difficult to shift one’s mind to think in Reactive terms. It doesn’t help that the descriptions around the web can be contradictory and the library documentation can be obscure.
In this talk, we’ll explore the concepts of Reactive and Reactive Programming. We’ll demonstrate some of the useful Reactive functions and examine some practical implementations - including how we’re currently using Reactive libraries in production code. Most importantly, we’ll look at some of the open source options available to us in the Groovy community, including Reactor, RxJava, and the Java 8 stream API. If Reactive is new to you, this should be an excellent introduction.

Cornell Study makes the case for why hotels need to pay attention to Social Media
Kerry Bodine on Customer Experience Management: To create a complete picture of your customers, you need to conduct three main types of customer research.

Hundreds of people are talking about you, your brand, your food, your service and the overall experience, they talk to friends on Facebook, on Twitter, and to anyone that will listen on social media sitesIts impossible to monitor all this, its like a typhoon of information, you need to find the needle in the haystack to react quickly and you need to find trends over time to set strategyOut of this chaos emerges the digestable, deciphered truth. Its ready for you to react to, its easy to manage and monitor over time and its going to produce more loyal customers and higher revenues for you, if you listen
To fix the experience for customers, operators need to pay more attention to what they say, not how they scored. This graphic shows an analysis of 102,000 reviews posted about two popular hotel chains, you can see that the star ratings tend to be higher than our operational grades, especially for reviews with lower than five stars. This can show how using simple Online Reputation Management tools leaves a lot of data on the table in terms of potential operational improvements. You might miss the reviews you could have used to improve your star rating. Harvard business school research says that a one-star increase on Yelp can lead to a 9% increase in overall sales. Furthermore, a study by UC-Berkley states a half star increase leads to 30 – 50% increased traffic during peak times.
