Jon McKay on Building Tessel Boards and What We Can Expect From Tessel Soon
The Internet of Things is right around the corner and it's very much about connected devices, sensors and gathering and leveraging data. The Tessel Board is programmable in JavaScript and makes it extremely easy to try out programming connected devices, send sensor data to the cloud or even control your elevator with a text message. And there's more to expect in the future, Jon tells us.

Jacob Fahrenkrug on Building a Secure Platform for the Smart Home
The Internet of Things is just around the corner and it will massively impact our lives. Most of the devices in our homes will become connected and collect data or react to certain events. Currently it is still uncertain, how personal data can be protected and leveraged for crowd sourcing and swarm intelligence at the same time. Jacob is sharing the ideas that his company Yetu has to clarify this

Eberhard Wolff on the Death of Java Application Servers
Eberhard Wolff explains his assertion that "Java application servers are dead". He describes application server deployment and monitoring model complexities and WAR and EAR deployment format deficits. In turn he promotes simpler and more standard compliant alternatives based on language agnostic tool stacks, while also acknowledging valid non-technical reasons that can prevent their adoption.

Jez Humble on Continuous Delivery and Lean Enterprise
In the last ten years we have seen the emergence of things like lean startup, continuous delivery, DevOps, and all these movements around how to not only build things correctly, but also around making sure to build the correct thing. Now it's time to help leaders in large enterprises to understand how to move faster and adapt to changing circumstances.
