Java WebStart Is Dead: What Should We Do Now?Hendrik Ebbers
Starting with Java 11, WebStart is being removed from Java. Because even today several applications are built on top of this technology, it will be mission-critical for many companies to find a replacement for it. This session presents an overview of the features of WebStart and how they can be replaced. It includes samples of several open source and commercial tools that provide such features and might mean new and cool possibilities for WebStart-based applications.
How to Create a Drupal 8 Theme Using Bootstrap Acquia
Bootstrap is one of the most popular digital (HTML, CSS and JS) frameworks used today. Because it makes front-end web development faster for any device and for projects of all sizes, many of the responsive mobile first applications you interact with daily were built on Bootstrap.
Join this tech talk to learn how to create a Bootstrap theme for Drupal 8. We'll go through the process of creating a Bootstrap subtheme in Drupal 8, as well as how you can customize it to suit your site's design.
The process will include:
- Structuring your sub-theme files
- Figuring out your mobile-first strategy
- Using Compass to compile CSS from SCSS

"Solr Update" at code4lib '13 - ChicagoErik Hatcher
Solr is continually improving. Solr 4 was recently released, bringing dramatic changes in the underlying Lucene library and Solr-level features. It's tough for us all to keep up with the various versions and capabilities.
This talk will blaze through the highlights of new features and improvements in Solr 4 (and up). Topics will include: SolrCloud, direct spell checking, surround query parser, and many other features. We will focus on the features library coders really need to know about.
Using Apache Lucene and Solr search technologies, information and knowledge have become vastly more searchable, findable, and accessible. Because scholars and researchers are some of the most demanding users of search systems, the problems encountered by the implementers are complex. For example, many of the applications built on these technologies also thrive on intentionally designed-in serendipitous discovery capabilities, bringing to light previously unknown, yet related and potentially interesting, content.
Libraries and other public knowledge-sharing environments, such as Wikipedia, generally embrace "open source" and community improving contributions as core principles, making a lovely synergy with the power, features, and community-driven ecosystem provided by Lucene and Solr.
This talk will introduce you to several Solr powered library-related systems, detail how they work, and leave you with lessons learned that can be applied to your applications.
Lucene powers the search capabilities of practically all library discovery platforms, by way of Solr, etc. The Lucene project evolves rapidly, and it's a full-time job to keep up with the ever improving features and scalability. This talk will distill and showcase the most relevant(!) advancements to date.
For enterprises, it's rarely a single function causing your OSS problem, it's a combination of architecture, packages, or networks. Using three real-world examples, these slides, from our recent webinar, walk through identifying the infrastructure needs, the technology stack selection process, and the final architected solution for each environment (e-commerce, PaaS, and HPC machine learning.)
In the big data world, our data stores communicate over an asynchronous, unreliable network to provide a facade of consistency. However, to really understand the guarantees of these systems, we must understand the realities of networks and test our data stores against them.
Jepsen is a tool which simulates network partitions in data stores and helps us understand the guarantees of our systems and its failure modes. In this talk, I will help you understand why you should care about network partitions and how can we test datastores against partitions using Jepsen. I will explain what Jepsen is and how it works and the kind of tests it lets you create. We will try to understand the subtleties of distributed consensus, the CAP theorem and demonstrate how different data stores such as MongoDB, Cassandra, Elastic and Solr behave under network partitions. Finally, I will describe the results of the tests I wrote using Jepsen for Apache Solr and discuss the kinds of rare failures which were found by this excellent tool.
This session will introduce and demonstrate several techniques for enhancing the search experience by augmenting documents during indexing. First we'll survey the analysis components available in Solr, and then we'll delve into using Solr's update processing pipeline to modify documents on the way in. The session will build on Erik's "Poor Man's Entity Extraction" blog at http://www.searchhub.org/2013/06/27/poor-mans-entity-extraction-with-solr/
Faceted Search – the 120 Million Documents StorySourcesense
Upayavira's presentation at Online Information 2010 in London: the case study of an Enterprise-critical migration from custom Lucene indexes to Apache Solr, with a significant focus on scalability.
The solution needed to providing search against rapidly changing data-sets and multi-million document indexes, enabling complex queries with sub second responses and maintaining high availability.
Solr 4.0 dramatically improves scalability, performance, and flexibility. An overhauled Lucene underneath sports near real-time (NRT) capabilities allowing indexed documents to be rapidly visible and searchable. Lucene’s improvements also include pluggable scoring, much faster fuzzy and wildcard querying, and vastly improved memory usage. These Lucene improvements automatically make Solr much better, and Solr magnifies these advances with “SolrCloud.” SolrCloud enables highly available and fault tolerant clusters for large scale distributed indexing and searching. There are many other changes that will be surveyed as well. This talk will cover these improvements in detail, comparing and contrasting to previous versions of Solr.

Decoupling Drupal 8.x: Drupal’s Web Services Today and TomorrowAcquia
To much fanfare, Drupal 8 was released in 2015 with web services capabilities off the shelf. But that doesn’t mean our work finished there; the community, thanks to the hard work of the API-first initiative team, has been actively addressing new changes in the surrounding world of web services. The two intervening minor versions of Drupal 8 since 2015 are chock full of improvements.
Even so, the wider web services landscape is rapidly shifting, and new approaches and ideas are quickly gaining momentum in an increasingly diverse landscape. For instance, in the front-end world, particularly in the JavaScript community, emerging specifications such as JSON API and GraphQL are overturning our long-held perceptions about what a web services API is capable of.
Key topics covered in this tech talk include:
How Drupal’s web services have evolved and progressed since the release of Drupal 8
How the wider landscape of web services has shifted around us
How we’re securing Drupal’s place at the vanguard of API-first content management
What’s most relevant to you as a decoupled app developer in Drupal 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3
Simpler, faster, cheaper Enterprise Apps using only Spring Boot on GCPDaniel Zivkovic
Enterprises traditionally think of App Platforms as PCF (Pivotal Cloud Foundry) or Red Hat OpenShift. In reality, public Clouds have evolved into Application Platforms - especially when using Managed Services & Serverless.
• If you are an IT Executive under increased pressure to cut costs, see how better Technology Stack choices – not layoffs or pay cuts, can reduce IT costs + increase business agility (while avoiding vendor lock-in):
• If you are a Developer lost in the sea of the Cloud Computing choices, watch Ray Tsang (Java Champion from GCP) live-code, and you will walk away Cloud-Native :)
See how to stop cannibalization of IT by deploying your good ol' Java Spring Boot Apps directly to Google Cloud Platform - no Servers/PCF/OpenShift/Kubernetes to manage, nor to limit your creativity: https://youtu.be/2B0wWagE0dc
P.S. For more forward-looking Software Developerment topics, join ServerlessToronto.org Meetups, and if you have any questions about the Architectural Patterns discussed, reach out to me to chat.
Here is the blog: http://www.aurorasolutions.io/architecture-workflow-of-modern-web-apps/
In the IT industry the biggest problem we regularly face is the abundance of choice. We have tons of frameworks, languages, tools, platforms, etc. Although for competition purposes; multiple choices are ultimately very good but we usually find ourselves in paralysis when we have to choose among them for our next project.
People usually still consider that (frontend) of web applications are created by mixing together HTML, CSS & JavaScript without giving any thoughts about the frontend architecture, workflow and testing; but things have definitely changed now since last couple of years and in this presentation I try to explain that how JavaScript and it’s related stuff has become first class citizen and how the new workflow looks like. And I will also explain that how the architecture of modern web applications is migrating from thick server-side applications to smart clients and services on their journey North to pure Microservices.
Here is the list of different tools and frameworks that have been discussed in this presentation:
* Yeoman: (http://yeoman.io/) Yeoman is the web’s scaffolding tool for modern webapps. Yeoman helps you to kickstart new projects, prescribing best practices and tools to help you stay productive.
* Bower: (http://bower.io/) Bower is used for dependency management, so that you no longer have to manually download and manage your scripts. Web sites are made of lots of things — frameworks, libraries, assets, utilities, and rainbows. Bower manages all these things for you.
* Grunt: (http://gruntjs.com/) Grunt is a task-based command line build tool for JavaScript projects. When you work on large projects you have couple of things that you do regularly and you would like them to be automated; Grunt is the tool to solve that problem!
* HTML5 Boilerplate: (https://html5boilerplate.com/) HTML5 Boilerplate is a professional front-end template for building fast, robust, and adaptable web apps or sites.
* Twitter Bootstrap: (http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/) Sleek, intuitive, and powerful front-end framework for faster and easier web development.
* Jasmine: (https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine) Jasmine is a behavior-driven development framework for testing JavaScript code. It does not depend on any other JavaScript frameworks. It does not require a DOM. And it has a clean, obvious syntax so that you can easily write tests.
* Karma: (https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/) A simple tool that allows you to execute JavaScript code in multiple real browsers.
* PhantomJS: (https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/) PhantomJS is a headless WebKit scriptable with JavaScript.
* Protractor: (https://github.com/angular/protractor) Protractor is an end-to-end test framework for AngularJS applications.
Got data? Let's make it searchable! This interactive presentation will demonstrate getting documents into Solr quickly, will provide some tips in adjusting Solr's schema to match your needs better, and finally will discuss how showcase your data in a flexible search user interface. We'll see how to rapidly leverage faceting, highlighting, spell checking, and debugging. Even after all that, there will be enough time left to outline the next steps in developing your search application and taking it to production.

Demystifying Decoupled Drupal for Developers & Content AuthorsRachel Wandishin
Today, with the diversity of customer experiences, developers require a WCM that provides flexibility and creativity in display output, and the ability to build innovative experiences that take advantage of diverse front-ends (i.e. JavaScript frameworks and libraries).
Join our session to learn how Acquia’s WCM, Drupal, delivers universal content flexibility — providing the greatest creative flexibility to front-end developers and content authors to build content-rich experiences for any channel, device or mode of interaction.
We’ll cover how the Acquia platform supports decoupled Drupal architectures and how you might use Drupal in three different modes that cover the “best of all worlds” - traditional, decoupled, and progressively decoupled WCM. As a result, developers have full flexibility and creativity, and content creators have full content management control - only Drupal provides this flexibility to all stakeholders.
During this webinar, we will investigate the following topics:
- An intro to decoupled Drupal concepts, options & supported features
- Decoupled Drupal best practices and trade offs
- Acquia customer case studies using decoupled Drupal
- Decoupled Drupal improvements and upcoming releases
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

• Exposes an API to modify search and display
behavior.
• Supported by engineers at Acquia.
• All Acquia code improvements have been
contributed back to the Drupal.org project.
• Many of the Drupalcon sponsors and attendees
are already involved and using it.
66. Feaure highlights
• Taxonomy, user, and language facets.
• Node type faceting, weighting, and exclusion.
• Node property (e.g. sticky) and date weighting.
• Date facets on content creation or change.
• OG facets (optional sub-module).
• Node access respected (optional sub-module).
• More-like-this content recommendations.
• Customizable (see drupal.org module browsing
features).
68. You Can Run Yourself. Easy!
1. Get a dedicated server or a VPS and get Solr loaded on it.
2. Find a Java server administrator or get some books.
3. Get the Drupal module, install the PHP library, and configure it.
4. Replace the stock Solr configuration files with Drupal ones.
5. Learn about Solr replication and configuring it.
6. Set up log management, alerting, monitoring, etc.
7. Implement regular upgrades or patches to Solr which will requiring getting your Java
development set up and building from source sometimes.
8. Keep up to date with the Drupal module.
9. Implement a security regime to protect data transfer (i.e. so spammers can’t add Viagra ads
to your search results)
10. Harden your servers, setup firewalls and IP-based, password-based, or other security.
11. Figure out how handle updates and versioning of Solr and your schema.
12. *Recommended: Get on the solr-user and solr-developer mailing lists to get updates and
alerts on the Apache Solr project. Don’t worry, it’s only a 50 or so mails a day if you don’t
count the commit messages.
69. Or... use Acquia Search
• Sign up on acquia.com.
• Free 30 day trial subscriptions for anyone.
• You must be running a Drupal 6.x site, with PHP
5.2.0+ (5.1.4+ possible as well).
• Use Acquia Drupal or install our search module
package.
• It leaves Drupal core search intact, so you can
go back anytime.
• Convert your site and start impressing users!
• We will worry about everything else.
70. How Acquia Search Works
Search master server

Search slave servers
71. Proving the platform
• Benchmarking our servers, on the search server
itself, most searches run in < 200 ms, even
under high load.
72. Who Is This For?
• Small and medium size sites - easy access to
enterprise search for every Drupal site.
– No hardware, no experience, fast setup, low cost.
• Large sites and Acquia partners - the same
solution you’d deploy, but faster and easier.
– Don’t consume your engineering resources.
– Why load your own servers?
– We handle the security and availability.
– Impress your users and clients.

Classic Information Architecture and how you structure your menus and site navigation
I&#x2019;ve built a few websites
Usually, we start with something called IA
What is IA?
* Start with Who your visitors are and what they want to do
* take a look at the inventory of content the site provides
group that content into categories which make sense.
Often called cart sorting, mapping, etc
Name the groups, and they become menus and highlights (Navigation)
What&#x2019;s wrong with these conventions? Our forefathers have used them since time immemorial (1996)
The web is a lot more complicated now.
Content comes from a lot more sources (other sites and users)
And websites do more things
Also...
It isn&#x2019;t 1996 anymore
In short time your Content may start looking like... {flip}
It isn&#x2019;t 1996 anymore
In short time your Content may start looking like... {flip}
And your menus become more like {flip}
And now your site is hard to organize and impossible to use.
You made up archetypes, but your real visitor base is more varied and unique than that.
Did you think of the user who wanted handmade paper?
Which category do you think handmade paper is in?
It literally took me 7 clicks to find Drupal on Dmoz
No one except for someone desperately trying to prove a point during a presentation will spend this long
This is the most important
And the main reason I&#x2019;m speaking to you today.
To deal with this paradigm shift, this generation of the internet has a few new devices / patterns to address the bloat of content. They all seek to handle the issue of unpredictable content and unknown users.
Search is Web 0.5
Remember, Yahoo made millions with lists of websites to visit
Google made billions letting people find the websites they wanted
Most people building websites just think of search as a checkbox on their requirements list
I&#x2019;ve taken a totally biased sampling from Dries&#x2019;s blog of large and newish Drupal sites
I took a sample of some of the top sites on the web.
Search was largely abandoned by site owners because the quality of results was not good enough.
It was too slow.
Users learned not to trust it, and in turn, site builders learned not to prioritize it.
If the same word doesn&#x2019;t mean the same thing, your intentions, delivery and content are worthless.
When a user wants something from your website, they are looking for a keyword.
You, as a site builder tried to think of them, and make links
Users leave only when the content they want doesn&#x2019;t exist. Never before
In this case, the user choose to search for Drupal Work, not Drupal Jobs...
The disadvantage of most search engines is that this doesn&#x2019;t work. The user is just presented with a deluge of information they are not looking for and no obvious way to refine the set.

The disadvantage of most search engines is that this doesn&#x2019;t work. The user is just presented with a deluge of information they are not looking for and no obvious way to refine the set.
The advantage of a good search engine is that the user can use whatever vocabulary they want and will find what they are looking for.
What you see here is called &#x201C;Faceted Search.&#x201D; Because Solr is aware not just of the text of your nodes, but all of their metadata, it can provide a much richer way to filter down to just what you are looking for.
Newer is better in this case. No one wants taken jobs.
Solr allows you to sort
Just as vocabulary is important, spelling is to.
Solr Spellcheck is not from dictionary
uses actual content in your index
If you have a funny name for your product

Just the tip of the iceberg in terms of customization

reduce width of browser + increase font
Let&#x2019;s stop trying to think for our users
Let&#x2019;s give them tools that allow them to think they way they want
AND find what they are looking for.
Now, I&#x2019;m going to hand over the floor to Peter Wolanin who has been the driving force behind recent development of the Apache Solr module. He and I are Acquia&#x2019;s experts on the Solr server.
He&#x2019;ll be speaking to you about the Solr project in a little more detail, the communities involved and show you some of the really amazing features we&#x2019;ve got planned.
All the Drupal module code is on drupal.org and available to everyone.
Solr is an Apache Foundation project, avaialble free under the Apache 2.0 license.
Yes, it&#x2019;s doable, but using Acquia hosted service allows:
1. Small to medium sites to get rolling in 15 minutes with no special knowhow or hardware
2. Large sites to not worry about scaling or securing yet another service and the opportunity cost that comes with it.

If you have an Acquia Subscription, you will have search.
The Beta which starts today is totally free. Also, ApacheSolr does not stop core search, which means you can fallback to standard drupal search any time. No Risk!
Setup takes about 5-10 minutes. What are you waiting for!?
