                  Bringing Code to the Cloud and Back Again



                   Mik Kersten, CEO of Tasktop Technologies and creator of the

                   Eclipse Mylyn open source project

                  Rod Johnson, creator of the Spring framework



                   The deployment destination for enterprise applications is

                   going through its biggest transition since the creation of

                   Java. Cloud infrastructure is changing the game for both

                   application deployment and lifecycle management. Over the

                   past decade, open source technologies, such as Spring and

                   Tomcat, have defined how we build and run enterprise Java

                   applications. Recent developments in open source

                   collaboration and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)

                   tools are now transforming how we evolve and manage those

                   applications.



                   During this keynote, Kersten and Johnson will explore a

                   turnkey approach that marries enterprise Java with cloud

                   deployment and Agile/ALM. They will provide an overview of

                   new technologies at the intersection of these three areas

                   and demonstrate how they radically simplify the Java

                   developers' workday by creating a new level of connectivity

                   between the team and the application. The talk will

                   conclude with a roadmap of how developers can apply these

                   new lessons to define the next decade of enterprise Java

                   productivity.



                  Presentation: Thurs., March 17, 10 a.m.

                  ---------------------------------------

                  Mylyn 3.4 and the New Face of the Java IDE



                   Mylyn has become the tool of choice for connecting team

                   collaboration with coding. In 2010, Mylyn grew to support

                   the entire Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) stack.

                   This talk will provide an overview of how Mylyn can double

                   Java development output by bringing the entire workday into

                   the place where developers are most productive - the IDE.

                   Demos showcase how Mylyn's task-focused interface

                   integrates all leading task and Agile tools, SCM tools such

                   as SVN and Git, and build/CI tools, including Hudson, then

                   show how Mylyn's frameworks can run outside of Eclipse on

                   the server side. The talk concludes with a vision of how

                   realigning collaboration around a unified notion of tasks

                   yields a measurable productivity benefit across the

                   organization.
