Description: Go has seen a tremendous growth in popularity. It is used by many large open source projects like Docker, Kubernetes and Terraform. But what is it exactly?

Go is an open source project developed by a team at Google and many contributors from the open source community. It is similar syntactically to C, and is small, statically typed and run-time efficient. The language supports many powerful capabilities such as pointers, memory safety, garbage collection, structural typing, and CSP-style concurrency. Just as important, it has become a popular replacement for untyped scripting languages.

This webinar will offer you the opportunity to see for yourself why Go is the next-generation language for today’s modern computer environment.

Description:Jenkins isn’t just for build jobs – Jenkins Pipelines provide a powerful tool for automating a continuous delivery process, and can even support general-purpose automation for a wide range of DevOps activities. This two-hour webinar touches on the highlights of Jenkins Pipelines – what they are, what makes them an essential part of your toolkit, and how they work. Through a series of demonstrations, we’ll see a pipeline develop that builds software, and distributes testing across multiple machines.

This webinar is based on a two-day Web Age course, “Jenkins Pipelines”.

The Jenkins Pipelines course takes Jenkins users beyond basic build jobs, providing a comprehensive overview of pipelines. We cover pipeline automation from the basics, through advanced use cases, pointing out common patterns and common pitfalls. A knowledge of basic Jenkins is assumed, but no prior experience with pipelines is required. After this course, you’ll have the tools to start automating your software build, test, and deployment activities following Jenkins best practices.

The recently released Angular v5 includes a mix of compiler optimizations, development workflow improvements and coding enhancements that make it well worth the upgrade effort. Code compilation happens faster and produces more efficient output than in previous versions. The team at Angular are now fully endorsing the Angular CLI utility for the creation of development environments as well as for building and serving applications. Development workflow is streamlined with changes to code being compiled and pushed to the browser in near real-time allowing developers to see changes as soon as they are saved. Coding enhancements include the HttpClient library, Internationalized pipes and the “updateOn” property which improves control over form validation. These topics will be reviewed in our upcoming half day session on Angular 5.

Description:
Writing Angular applications requires the developer to keep source files for each Angular Component and service they create. Source files are bound together into an application using export and import statements which can be difficult to maintain. Source files written in TypeScript need to be transpiled to javascript and the entire app needs to be made available on a file server in order to test. All of these operations are made easier for the developer by using Angular CLI. This webinar offers an introduction to the features as well as the pluses and minuses of using Angular CLI.

Description: This webinar will discuss some of the major changes in the Java 8 platform, one of the most significant updates to Java in some time. Besides a long sought-after API for working better with Date and Time, one of the most significant changes in Java 8 are ‘Lambda Expressions’. These allow you to treat a function implementation like an object and have far-reaching impacts on what you can do with Java. New approaches to filtering, sorting and performing calculations with Collections are now possible with Lambda Expressions. You can also use Lambda Expressions in many places where previously you needed an extraneous anonymous class so this will simply code.

Description: Although it is a huge part of the modern web, the syntax of JavaScript hasn’t really changed significantly in quite a long time. That all changed though last June, when ‘ECMAScript 2015’ was released. This major update contained some significant changes and new features. Now that more JavaScript engines and environments support the new specification it is a good time to get familiar with these changes. This webinar will cover the main differences with the new ECMAScript 2015 specification and the impact on how JavaScript code can be written. In particular, focus will be paid on how various ways to leverage the new version while also considering backwards compatibility.

Description: AngularUI and UI Bootstrap are front-end technologies that are backed by AngularJS, a popular JavaScript framework. While AngularUI and UI Bootstrap have many similarities, they are also quite different and this webinar will review the pros and cons of using them.

Description: DevOps is an approach to delivering software solutions in a continuous manner based on lean and agile practices. In this webinar we will review some of the technologies and practices used by DevOps teams.

Description: Arguably, the Backbone.js library and the Angular.js framework are the two most popular JavaScript libraries/frameworks for building Single Page Applications. For principled technical reasons, many JavaScript developers tend to prefer one library/framework while opposing the other. In this webinar, we will examine the strengths and weaknesses of each of these JavaScript approaches to building a Single Page Application. We will aim to help dispel some of the misconceptions about each of these approaches and identify how each approach can be useful to solve specific problems. Also, we will be using a Node.js backend to power our demonstrations including a quick run-through with Browserify to demonstrate how to organize Backbone.js and Angular.js web applications into Node.js modules.

Description: This webinar provides a quick introduction to services in the DataPower environment. Topics: Quick introduction to developing on DataPower, Services Overview

Description: Scala is a hybrid programming language that combines object-orientation with functional programming. Scala is short for “Scalable Language”. Scala is being adopted by many companies who currently use Java to increase their productivity, applications scalability, and overall reliability. If your business problem is best solved using the functional programming paradigm, then you should investigate using Scala. In this webinar, we’ll explore why you should learn Scala programming, introduce functional programming, and examine programming language basics.

Description: Continuous Integration is a software development approach that uses ?build automation? to automatically build and test software. With Continuous Integration, there is always an up-to-date version of the software available to run quality assurance tests and conduct sample deployments, and any problems accidentally introduced by developers can be seen quickly. The automation involved also provides a convenient spot to implement quality assurance tools like automated unit testing, code coverage testing, static code analysis, style checking, and so on. This webinar will discuss some common tools and plugins for Apache Maven that are useful for Continuous Integration, and present a useful pattern for establishing a Continuous Integration server combined with a Maven Repository Manager. The webinar will appeal to all developers working with Java technologies, and in particular to those using Apache Maven or the Jenkins Continuous Integration server.

Description: JavaScript is the Lingua Franca of the front-end Web development. In order to support agile business requirements for the “Next Generation” Web, developers need to be intimately familiar with JavaScript’s capabilities, best practices and useful libraries. This webinar will provide an overview of the modern JavaScript ecosystem and make recommendations on using some of the more popular libraries.

Description: AngularJS is a popular JavaScript framework sponsored by Google and used for building dynamic single page web applications. By way of introducing additional custom HTML tag attributes, AngularJS brings the popular MVC (“Model-View-Controller”) pattern to the client-side web development and facilitates application development with the support for such mechanisms as “data-binding”. The webinar introduces the attendees to the main programing elements and idioms of the AngularJS framework.

Description: The ‘git’ tool for distributed version control, originally written by Linus Torvalds, has taken the open-source world by storm, and is now starting to penetrate the enterprise. This webinar will introduce the concept of distributed version control, show you how to get started using git, and show how git can simplify common enterprise workflows for software development and maintenance.

Description: After spending some time where the Java language was “stuck” at Java SE 6 because of Oracle buying Sun, Java is moving forward again and companies are starting to leverage some of the new versions. Many companies are starting to move to Java SE 7 since that has been out for a few years and will be the required minimum version of Java EE 7 application servers as those are released. Java SE 8 was also recently finalized and although probably too early for many large Java projects to move to it fully it will help to know what are some of the more significant features of Java SE 8. In this webinar we will focus on the changes in Java SE 7 that projects can use when adopting this environment along with some of the significant features of Java SE 8 to watch out for as that becomes more popular.

Description: The Spring Framework has been a very popular foundation for many Java programs. So the release of the 4.0 version of Spring in December 2013 has implications for a great many developers. In this webinar we will present some of the major changes in the Spring 4.0 Framework and focus on what the impact of these changes and new features might be for Spring developers. Besides the “Spring Framework” project, which is certainly the core of the Spring platform, there are also a lot of other Spring-related projects available to developers that might be useful in certain types of projects. In this webinar we will also take a quick tour of some of these projects so that you can get up to speed on what has been happening in the Spring space and evaluate how to leverage these new releases within your own projects.

Description: Jenkins Continuous Integration includes the capability for one “Master” installation of Jenkins to control multiple “slave” installations. You can use this facility to add capacity to Jenkins or to add support for different environments. In this webinar, we’ll examine the rationale and the mechanics involved in setting up a live Jenkins cluster.

Description: Python is a programming language whose uses run the gamut from simple scripting to web applications to complex graphical applications. It can even be used in conjunction with Java libraries and web applications. This webinar will provide an overview of Python’s syntax and a sampling of places where Python can be used.

Description: Although Apache Maven has been around for several years now, some of us have been reluctant to adopt it for our development projects. We have many excuses – It’s not flexible. We can’t control what it downloads. It’s hard to use. The metadata is difficult to understand. We can’t layout our project the way we want. And the list goes on. In reality, many of our assumptions are not true. Join us for this webinar where we’ll try to convince Late Adopters to re-examine their resistance to Apache Maven.

Description: Although there are a number of Java frameworks for web applications, Spring MVC has become one of the most popular. In this webinar we will look at some of the major tasks in using Spring MVC, like configuration, handling requests, and displaying views. We will look at how Spring MVC integrates with other Spring technologies, Apache Tiles for page templates, and AJAX/JavaScript support. We will also show a brief introduction to Spring “Web Flow” which is an advanced extension of Spring MVC built to address specific web application requirements.

Description: Groovy is an agile and dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine, that combines the power of Java with features inspired by Python, Ruby and Smalltalk, to provide an enhanced and productive programming environment that interoperates fully with existing Java infrastructure. In this webinar we’ll examine the Groovy language, syntax, and features, and we’ll explore applications for Groovy in traditional Java shops.

Description: Although many applications have been developed that use web services in some way or another, not all of them have been developed recently. This means that the choices available when these web service applications were developed could have been very different than it is now. Since many clients are beginning to upgrade their Java application server environments, perhaps even after skipping 1-2 versions of the server, it would be good to be familiar with all of the choices available now with modern web service environments and the changes that have been introduced. In this webinar we will survey the various choices for implementing modern web services and the clients of these services. Besides introducing JAX-WS, a simplified way to do SOAP web services, we will also cover the newest style of REST web services and how to use the JAX-RS specification to develop these services. A comparison between SOAP and REST web services and when to use each will be important information also. We will also provide a brief review of some of the various advanced WS-* SOAP service specifications that can address specific integration issues since these have seen much wider support and adoption as more environments are upgraded. So attend this webinar if you want to know the current range of choices available to you and how to apply the best technologies to implement application requirements.

Description: Even though JSF has long been the most popular framework for use with Java web applications, there are still many people who are not aware of it or are still using Servlet/JSP directly. This webinar will show you how using the JSF framework can greatly simplify your Java web application programming and at the same time allow more advanced features to be implemented in these applications. In addition to an introduction of the JSF framework, we will cover some of the new features in the latest JSF 2.0 version and some thoughts on migrating from Servlet/JSP programming. So attend this webinar and see how to write more feature-rich Java web applications with less effort!

Description: Although many of the services in active use are SOAP or at least XML-based, an increasing number of services take a RESTful approach to data transmission. Representational state transfer (REST) is a style of software architecture that differs from the more traditional Remote Procedure Call (RPC) style of data transmission, instead emphasizing the importance of defining and retrieving representations of resources.The Java JAX-RS specification covers how to implement RESTful services with Java. This specification is driven by annotations and can be leveraged from many different environments, including a Java EE ‘Application Server’. With the recent inclusion of the JAX-RS specification in the Java EE 6 umbrella of technologies implementing RESTful services with JAX-RS will become even easier.

Description: Cloud Computing is gaining increasing attention within enterprises of all shapes and sizes, but few technologists actually have hands-on experience building Cloud solutions. Taking standard software applications, databases, and user interfaces and deploying them in a Cloud environment is a recipe for disaster. The Cloud is a different animal, requiring different skills and expertise to be successful.

Description: The latest release of JBoss is drastically restructured and has many improvements in performance, administration, clustering and other areas. There are so many changes that it is important for JBoss clients to understand them as part of the migration process and a great way to do that is to join us for this webinar that will focus on all of these great changes. Another topic of interest will be the various JBoss versions floating around out there as it can be fairly confusing right now as JBoss will have released 3 different significant versions in just over a year, some of which are already “dead” and not going anywhere.

Description: With many of the major Java Enterprise servers recently releasing or about to release support for Java EE 6 now is a good time to take a look at the changes introduced with this version. With the number of new technologies and significant updates to almost all existing technologies, Java EE 6 is likely the biggest release ever of the Java EE platform. Many of these technologies can have a significant effect on the architecture of applications and even what technologies are preferred for use in applications. Knowing what these changes are and how they might impact application developers will be very important for people looking to migrate to the new platforms that support Java EE 6. This webinar will provide an overview of the Java EE 6 changes and help attendees understand how those changes might impact the projects they are involved with.

Description: Although the 3.0 version of the Spring Framework has been released for a while, we have found that many clients are just now beginning to adopt this version. It is a good time not only to examine what is new in Spring itself but what other new developments around Spring will impact Spring developers. Besides covering the new changes in the main projects like Spring and Spring Web Flow, this webinar will also focus on changes to available Spring development tools, Spring runtime environments offered by SpringSource, like SpringSource tc Server, and even how Spring will apply in a cloud environment. For those on the cutting edge of Java Enterprise development this webinar will also show how the Spring framework will apply to some of the recent Java EE 6 specifications like JPA (Java Persistence), JSF, and even some of the recent Java specifications for dependency injection.

Description: The pace of change in the Java and Java Enterprise areas is increasing. With many more companies and projects starting to adopt the Java EE 5 specifications and several major vendors soon releasing support for Java EE 6, 2011 looks to be a year of great opportunity in improving the robustness and efficiency in Java programming and projects. Rather than adapting to changes well after they have occurred and risk using outdated technology or simply using the same technologies used in the past because of familiarity, this webinar will make sure decision makers and those responsible for skill development are aware of what is happening and can plan accordingly. We will discuss the status of popular technologies like Struts and Spring and where more modern equivalents may be available for better lifetime of applications. We will also introduce other new technologies and show how some of the innovations of third party libraries like Spring and Hibernate have been brought back into the Java specifications. We will help you understand how using some of these technologies can help create applications that are easier to implement, perform better at runtime, and leverage the built-in capabilities of the environment they execute in.

Description: The technologies available to modern Java EE 5 applications is very different than it was for previous versions of Java Enterprise. So what does this mean for the “J2EE Patterns” that were so popular when Java Enterprise programming was more difficult? In this webinar we will look at what changes to the common patterns should be understood. We will also look at where applying some of the “old” patterns could no actually be an “anti-pattern” that makes an application more complex than it should be. Attending this webinar will help you be most effective with the latest standards and apply best practices that take into account what is available with Java EE 5.

Description: The yearly update of Eclipse projects at the end of June continues to expand the options provided to clients using Eclipse-based development tools. In the spirit of the 2009 coordinated release, code named Galileo, this webinar will explore the universe of Eclipse projects and new features available. Although we will focus on some of the new features that might be very common for clients using Eclipse this webinar will also show you some of the other projects involved in the Eclipse Galileo release that may not be as well know but certainly provide useful tools and options. One of the primary projects focused on will be the new Memory Analyzer tool. We will also cover some of the changes to how you install and update software in an Eclipse installation which continues to improve the experience of using Eclipse tools. Finally, we will take a quick review of some of the most popular sets of free Eclipse tool sets that can provide Eclipse support for things like Spring and JBoss.
