This presentation video is available on http://www.parleys.com/#st=5&id=2442.

Arduino is a popular, open source electronics prototyping platform that is intended for artists, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects. It can sense the environment and affect its surroundings by controlling just about anything: light, motor, and more.

This session will introduce you to Physical Computing, Arduino and how Arduino can be integrated with the Java platform. The session will include:

• An introduction to Physical Computing and Arduino
• How to develop Arduino applications
• A brief overview of electronics key principles
• How to integrate Arduino with Java
• Live demos to illustrate the various points

This session is for anyone who wants to learn how they can, with just their Java skills, extend their applications to reach the physical world.

This event was dedicated to Web development in java with Play! Framework (Guillaume Bort/Nicolas Martignole).

17h30 - Welcome and registration

18h00 - The World Wide Web and Java by Pierre-Antoine Grégoire

18h15 - Where are my Servlets and XML files? Play - a mindset shift in Java web development, by Guillaume Bort, Play! Framework Creator and lead developer (french, slides in english)

The Play! framework is more than just yet another web framework in the Java eco-system: it is also another way of developing web applications. Like RoR, Django, it encourages fast and expressive development, with a clean and pragmatic API. Most importantly, perhaps, it brings simplicity to the Java world. It is the first web application framework in Java that is built by web developers for web developers. Because it is a simple, stateless framework that promotes a RESTful approach it offers the possibility of building complex web applications and, by extension, complex systems.

19h00 - Comment réaliser un site web en quelques semaines en s'amusant by Nicolas Martignole a.k.a. "Le Touilleur express"

Play! Framework appliqué sur un vrai projet, avec de vrais clients, et bien ça marche ! Avec mon expérience des différents frameworks Web, je vous présenterai des cas concrets d'utilisation, un parallèle avec d'autres frameworks, et des exemples concrets basés sur la réalisation du site l'eXpress-Board.
Attendez-vous à être surpris et étonné.

Tuesday 19 October 2010 - Java EE 6 + Glassfish

This event covered Java EE 6 and Glassfish. The video recordings are now published on Parleys.

17h30 - Welcome and registration

18h00 - Alexis Moussine-Pouchkine

        Part 1 - Why and how J2EE became popular again
Abstract : Every new Java EE version is important but this one different. It is probably the first one that is powerful enough to stand on its own and not require any third party framework. Its web profile, standardized dependency injection, restful web services and much much improved EJB, JSF, servlet and JPA all make for a great standard basis for enterprise applications.

Proposal : Java EE 6 was released at the end of 2009 in its final form with GlassFish v3, the open source application server, implementing the entire specification in a modular and developer-friendly environment. Now is a great time for understanding what's new in this specification and how it can and will make a difference in your enterprise developments.

This session will introduce Java EE 6, its new concepts such as the web profile, managed beans, CDI 1.0 (context and dependency injection), JAX-RS 1.1 (restful web services), and BeanValidation 1.0 but also cover what's new in EJB 3.1 (singleton, simplified packaging and a lot more), JSF 2.0 (facelets, ajax, composite components), servlet 3.0 (optional web.xml, fragments, async, ...).

Time permitting, this session will insist on illustrating new concepts and features with demos using GlassFish, the Java EE reference implementation and a number of different IDEs.

        Part 2 - Familiarization with Glassfish
Abstract: GlassFish is way more than a reference implementation. It's fully buzzword-compliant (JavaEE, Modular, OSGi, WebSockets, embeddable, ... ) but more importantly it strikes a balance between cool stuff and management-compatible (in fact it is both). See how GlassFish can work for you, with or without Java EE 6.

17h45 - Oracle plans for Java and communities, Sébastien Stormacq, (french, slides in english)

17h55 - Eclipse - an Open Source Innovation Network, Ralph Mueller, (english, slides in english)

Open Source- for many the expression is a synonym for 'no cost' or 'easy to obtain'. Only known to the insider is the fact that Open Source methods and licenses have become the basis of many industry collaboration efforts. Here Open Source is applied to jointly develop, maintain and distribute software relevant for the industry. Due to its well-defined Intellectual Property Management and its Development Process is the Eclipse Project today well positioned to support industry initiatives in the collaborative value creation process. The commerce-friendly Eclipse Public License (EPL) makes it easy to capture value in commercial exploitation, providing the basis for a successful and sustainable eco system. The talk will discover the motivation for open source in its different instantiations, discuss an 'open source maturity model' and will explain the Eclipse Foundation in more detail. We will also look into the future trends that we experience in the Eclipse Eco System.

18h20 - e4: building the next generation of the Eclipse Platform, Frédéric Conrotte, (french, slides in english)

18h50 - OSGI in a nutshell, Pierre-Antoine Grégoire, (french, slides in english)

19h20 - Spring dmServer, Christopher Frost, (english, slides in english)

Virgo is a modular open source application server based on OSGi. It supports standard WAR files and modular webapps comprising OSGi bundles. We'll explore Virgo features such as: repositories, deployment plans, regions, admin shell, and the admin console. The session will discuss the increasingly open future direction for the project and how you can get involved. This will be followed by a demo of a simple modular application showing it in both the command line shell and the web console of Virgo.
