Topics include Jetty's early adoption of Comet-style "server push" interactions, its use in Android and other mobile application environments, its lightweight, embeddable component model, and its recent adoption as an Eclipse Foundation project. Webtide CEO Adam Lieber joins in to discuss the open source business strategy behind Jetty and other Webtide initiatives. http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2009/042809jtech-jetty.html http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2009/042809jtech-jetty.html Tue, 28 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0400 Alex Miller is a respected Java concurrency and scalability enthusiast  who works on Terracotta, an open source, Java-based clustering system. In this talk with Andrew Glover, Alex demystifies Terracotta, explaining the programming magic that enables enterprise customers to run 50 to 100 JVMs on a single application server instance. Alex also talks about Terracotta's "sweet spot" -- storing session data off of the database -- and Terracotta 3.0, which promises new features that he says will eliminate certain scalability barriers. http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2009/041309jtech-terracotta.html http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2009/041309jtech-terracotta.html Mon, 13 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0400 Recent controversies have eroded confidence in the Java Community Process  and left some leaders in the developer community calling for reform. In this conversation with JCP Chair Patrick Curran, Andrew Glover gets an overview of the structure and inner workings of the process. He learns first-hand where the JCP has historically fallen apart and gets Curran's view on what can be done to reform it. While candid about Sun's ambivalent relationship to open source, and about the predominance of corporate interests on the JCP Executive Committee, Curran ultimately places responsibility for reform in the hands of developers. Anyone can join the JCP, he says, and participation is key to democracy. http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2009/030909jtech-curran.html http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2009/030909jtech-curran.html Mon, 9 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400 With Grails 1.1 due for release in late February 2009, Andrew Glover  sat down for a chat with Grails founder and creator Graeme Rocher. Get a preview of what to expect from the next iteration of Grails, including performance improvements based on changes in Groovy 1.6; upgrades to the Grails plugin ecosystem; support for Maven and Ant Ivy; and the exciting, unexpected liberation of GORM. http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2009/022609jtech-rocher.html http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2009/022609jtech-rocher.html Thu, 26 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0500 After some years of relative stability, Java-based Web application development  is in a season of innovation. In this JavaWorld podcast, Andrew Glover talks with Sun Microsystems' Director of Web Technologies Tim Bray about forces for change in the Web development and deployment space. Tune in for Bray's inside perspective on current trends in Java Web development, including the long-term outlook for dynamic languages on the JVM, new ideas about data persistence and storage, the "outrageously, obscenely hard" problem of concurrency, and what Bray calls the "sweet spot" of cloud computing: platform as service. http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2009/020909jtech-bray.html http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2009/020909jtech-bray.html Mon, 9 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0500 In late November 2008, SpringSource acquired G2One,  solidifying the bond between three of the most popular and disruptive technologies for Java-based development: the Spring Framework, Groovy, and Grails. Now, in this JavaWorld podcast, SpringSource CEO Rod Johnson and G2One co-founder Graeme Rocher discuss what the acquisition means for Groovy, Grails, and Spring-based developers. Learn what motivated the companies to come together, what you don't need to fear about the merge, and what developers can expect from Groovy and Grails, now that they're backed by Spring. http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2009/012709jtech.html http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2009/012709jtech.html Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0500 As Java-based Web developers have learned to take JavaScript seriously,  the rush is on for tools that enrich the Ajax-development experience. In this JavaWorld podcast, Foundations of Ajax co-author Nate Schutta talks with Andrew Glover about the component libraries, debuggers, and frameworks he uses for Ajax. Nate also discusses projects and trends that reveal new directions for Ajax as a foundation technology for Web 2.0. http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2009/011209jtech.html http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2009/011209jtech.html Mon, 12 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0500 JavaFX 1.0 makes its debut today amid high hopes and a sea of doubt. Some in the Java community believe JavaFX could become "the application environment for the Java platform," while others say Sun has made nothing but mistakes on the client side, and JFX is too little, too late. In this talk with Sun Microsystems Senior Director of Java Marketing Param Singh, and JavaFX Architect John Burkey, Andrew Glover addresses both the concerns associated with JavaFX 1.0 and its potential. Get the developer's perspective on what you'll be able to do with JavaFX 1.0. Also hear Sun's answer to the question: What does JavaFX 1.0 mean for Swing? http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2008/120408jtech.html http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2008/120408jtech.html Thu, 4 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0500 Todd Hoff's High Scalability Blog is a destination  for developers tasked with building Web apps that scale. One of the blog's best features is its extensive list of site profiles, which reveal the architectural decisions (and revisions) that support Web 2.0 success stories like Amazon, eBay, and Twitter. In this podcast Andrew Glover picks Hoff's brain about scalability tactics like sharding, parallelization, and caching. The two also discuss the challenge of building scalable Web sites that support cloud computing, or service-level architectures, where traffic comes in over APIs. In the end, Hoff gives his insight into why Java isn't necessarily first choice for building sites that scale big, and tips for what to do if you -- like LinkedIn and Fotolog -- decide to use Java anyway. http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2008/112608jtech.html http://www.networkworld.com/podcasts/jtech/2008/112608jtech.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0500
