Yet I'm still confused of how the work stealing would work when multiple workers compele to steal the task from the tail of a single workers dequeue?
God, that was awful. I'll paraphrase it here: Java sucks as a language for massive concurrency, but we don't want to face that, so, instead, we'll talk about some ad-hoc approaches to various problems that are already solved and working, and build a library for them as if it were original. Only those problems are not the everyday problems most of us face, and, as said, are solved for those who need them.
I particularly liked when he mentioned that threads are expensive, as if this was basic truth, instead of a consequence of various characteristics of Java.
Now, the library is nice -- actually, very good, and if I hadn't read about it before and the presentation was a bit more honest about the very limited scope of what they were doing, it would be a great presentation.
For those still left looking for effective massive concurrency, it seems Erlang and the like are still it.
Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).
The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?
The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.
"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?
Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.
SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer discusses AspectJ, SpringSource's dm Server and tc Server products, OSGi and Scrum.
Heroku's Adam Wiggins talks about Rails, Background Jobs, Add-Ons, Ruby, and how Heroku manages to work around Ruby's inefficiencies using Erlang and other languages.
For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
