How is it to give a presentation based on a site that is totally down as I am watching the presentation and trying to access it ?
I'm trying to access to this site... and again is down :)
That's ruby on rails :)
Java is not bad the consultants that wrote the earlier site were bad consultants.
What a bunch of misconceptions about Java.
Does anybody know the reason for the outage? I guess it is not because of Rails.
A system with one database connection and they can not use Apache due to performance. I am pretty unimpressed. And they do not use Java because it does not make pretty urls? I was hoping this would be a reason to use ruby but it was more about how sad ATT is at development.
Having worked at a superpages.com a few years back, the volume doesn't impress me. Back in 2002 superpages.com was handling 10million+ pageviews a day and it used tomcat. Today it handles a lot more than that per day using a well thoughout architecture. If the talk was suppose to show how impressive ROR is or can be, I'm not impressed.
Maybe he should have looked up in yellowpages.com a person who actually knows how to build something like this. It's one of the "I don't have a clue of java/jee - let's move on to something else I don't have a clue of." I especially like the part about the crap-machines they bought from another company that has gone broke... and the "architecture"-pictures are great, all lines and smoke...
And also I am surprised that they didn't write the search component in-house for a website centered around search!
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.
