Next Meeting - May 1st
Written by Administrator   
Sunday, 22 April 2012

May's meeting features Dan Juliano of the Federal Home bank of Des Moines talking about open-source Enterprise Service Buses.

If you've dealt with server-side Java long enough, you've probably had to deal with tying two applications together over messaging or shoveling data between data stores. Chances are you've written a good deal of code managing that integration, and if so, you're likely aware how much of a headache that can be.

Back in 2003 a number of academics got together, thought through a number of common types of integration approaches, and codified them in the book Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP). Apache Camel uses the EIP approach to allow a high level view of application integration, and at the same time abstracts away the headache and customization that a developer would normally have to deal with.

For this meeting we will look at a sample integration between a long running process and a web service using an Enterprise Service Bus based on Apache Camel, ActiveMQ and ServiceMix. We'll get to stare at some Camel code, discuss some EIP's, and dissect some of the finer points of messaging.

Next Meeting - April 3rd
Written by Administrator   
Sunday, 25 March 2012

April's meeting will feature Darrin Holst (@darrinholst) talking about coffeescript.

 From coffeescript.org...

The golden rule of CoffeeScript is: "It's just JavaScript". The code compiles one-to-one into the equivalent JS, and there is no interpretation at runtime. You can use any existing JavaScript library seamlessly from CoffeeScript (and vice-versa). The compiled output is readable and pretty-printed, passes through JavaScript Lint without warnings, will work in every JavaScript implementation, and tends to run as fast or faster than the equivalent handwritten JavaScript.

 This meeting may look familiar to anyone who attended February's Iowa Ruby Brigade meeting. But if you couldn't make it, come see how this abstaction leads to a more enjoyable Javascript experience.

Next Meeting - March 6th
Written by Administrator   
Sunday, 26 February 2012

March's meeting moves into the world of sysadmins. We'll learn how you can treat system configurations like code. Gone are the days of manually changing conf files and hoping the change gets made to all nodes, in all environments. No more httpd.conf.old, httpd.conf.bak, or httpd.conf.bak2?

Luke Amdor and Shawn Siefkas will talk about two of the more popular tools: Puppet and Chef.

Even though these tools are both written in Ruby and try to do the same thing, there are differences. Enough differences for 2 pages worth of "puppet vs. chef" search results. Luke will also talk about Vagrant that deals with managing VirtualBox instances.
