Exploring the value proposition of Rails - part I
By now many of you have heard the growing rumble of the approaching train. Rails is taking the web development community by storm. Large numbers of people are taking notice of the productivity gains that it enables. This presentation will cover the foundations of Ruby and Rails and answer the “how” and “why” questions: how does Ruby and Rails work, and why should you care? We will begin by highlighting the Rails fundamentals that are most important to productivity gains. We will then compare Rails and the Java stack. We will look at the specifics behind the risk/reward equation, and clearly explain where the Rails sweet spot is and how to make an informed decision about usage.

Test and other ways to make your code work right the first time - Part I
An introduction to JUnit 4.x
JUnit is a tool that is nearly universally used to support Test-Driven Development (TDD). While there are other tools, such as TestNG, none of have had a greater impact on unit testing or the support of TDD. JUnit4 offers significant changes to how we organize and write tests, and it also offers backwards compatibility with environments that don't yet support it.
Learning what it takes to move to JUnit 4 is more important ever, since the upcoming release of Eclipse 3.2 will have built-in support for JUnit 4.
Many people aren't familiar with the annotations or static imports in Java 5, so seeing a few exampleswill help them appreciate the changes JUnit 4 offers. It will also introduce them to some of the new features in Java 5.

Enterprise Maven 2.0 - Part II
Unleash the power of Maven to streamline enterprise application development Building enterprise Java applications is a challenging process in which you must build, package, and deploy multiple components to a wide variety of environments. These components frequently depend on one another and on third-party libraries and frameworks. Additionally, effective software development organizations want this process to be automated, repeatable, and continuously integrated. Every enterprise application built will address these issues to some extent, and most will do so differently.

Monitoring distributed projects ; a tool comparison - Part I
The first agile principle (http://agilemanifesto.org/) says “individuals and interactions over processes and tools”. This line leads us to think that the agile principle gives more importance to individuals than the processes. Does that mean we should not give importance to agile methods like Scrum, XP, etc and do only what the individuals (team members') decide? “Or”, discard the tools, avoid automation and do things manually? In fact, tools usage has been given less importance in agile manifesto.But from the past experiences while working with agile teams, it is clear that, tools are in fact necessary part of agile development environment. Can you imagine a situation where the team does not have continuous integration tool, automated testing tool, code coverage tool and were asked to deliver a quality product in a short period of time ?. It would have taken ages for the development teams to deliver a quality product without tools.

Spring & EJB 3.0 compared - Part I
Inside two of the most popular and promising Java technologies
One of the hallmarks of the Java community is its constant innovation. The downside of this positive trait is that the community's pace of change often complicates the technical decision-making process. With the recent approval of Java Enterprise Edition 5.0 and Enterprise Java Beans 3.0 by the Java Community Process organization, the mainstream Java community has embraced many of the powerful concepts made popular by the Spring framework. But how do these two technologies compare? Do they even compare at all? What factors must a software development organization keep in mind when considering adoption of either technology?
This presentation will compare the Spring framework and EJB 3. It will examine similarities and differences, map strengths and weaknesses, discuss usage scenarios, and consider integration strategies. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the relative positioning of these technologies and of the types of considerations to bear in mind when considering adoption of either.
You are invited to take a closer look at this comparison at the speaker's wiki site: http://rodcoffin.wikispaces.com/SpringEJB3.
