Last week Chariot Solutions hosted a one-day seminar around Groovy and Grails. Or Grails and Groovy if that is your preference. Chariot has been trying to have two events a year, the larger Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise in the spring, and a smaller event in the fall. We have tried to use the fall event as a way to see how much support there is in the development community for newer technologies. We did this with Spring, Ruby, Cloud,…
It was great to catch up with a good friend of Chariot’s, Chris Richardson. Chris’s company, Cloud Foundry, was purchased by Springsource in August, right before the Springsource acquisition by VMWare. In the interview below, Chris discusses what Cloud Foundry does and where it fits into the Springsource family.
We were able to conduct a short interview with Graeme Rocher and Jeff Brown, Grails leads, at SpringOne 2GX. They review some of the new features that will be available in Grails 1.2. And if you are looking to learn more about Grails: click here.
Chariot’s Tracey Welson-Rossman took a few minutes to talk with Colin Sampaleanu today at SpringOne about the Spring Framework 3.0 release.
Gordon Dickens sat down with Ken Rimple today to give a a quick rundown on his view of the conference so far on the Chariot TechCast. Below are some of points he recounts from Rod Johnson’s keynote, which opens SpringOne/2GX: Rod Johnson spoke of the history of SpringSource and how the community (estimated at around 3 million members by Gartner) has been an asset to SpringSource’s success in delivering quality frameworks to the IT community. He stressed the importance of…
Real-time performance insight application will be on display during SpringOne 2GX. We at Chariot have been working on an iPhone application to monitor Java EE application servers. Dubbed “ServerMonitor,” the application can connect to an application server and monitor various aspects of the system. This week we are demonstrating integration with tc Server at SpringOne/2GX in New Orleans. The application uses RESTful web services to communicate with a monitoring web application. The monitor communicates with the JMX Server on the…
The opening night festivities have kicked off this year’s SpringOne and 2GX (Groovy/Grails). The keynote is happening right now and we will be giving a recap during the day tomorrow. While we are here, we hope to also interview (video or audio) a some of the committers we know to get an update on their projects. If you have anything you would like us to ask and who you might want us to interview, please post a comment. Our team…
Today, I interviewed Andy Oswald, one of our architects. Andy is embarking on developing an Android application for the Philly ETE conference. In this talk, he discusses the choices he made in getting started. With so much information, he shows the particular path he took which may help if you are beginning this type of work. The site he references is actually : developer.android.com In future weeks, we’ll follow Andy’s progress as he finishes the application.
Up this week we have Chariot’s Eric Snyder, a consultant with a background in traditional Java/Spring as well as dynamic platforms such as Ruby/Rails and Python. Here is a quick teaser. You can download the full episode here.
Chariot Solutions was once a start up, way back in 2002. The beginning and the first few years were a roller coaster ride. And even though, we are now at the ripe old age of 7, I like to think we continue to operate with the spirit of a start up. Because of our background, Chariot is a supporter of the Philadelphia tech start up community. Start ups are a vital part of the region and help bring news ideas…
