But how does that architecture work for other businesses? Learn how at Riot we leveraged Netflix OSS Cloud tools and platform components to create a complete infrastructure for hosting our global game platform. Maybe it can work for you too. This session will describe the libraries, services and tools from the Netflix OSS stack that…

Philly ETE 2014 #14 – Distributed Systems and the End of the API – Chas Emerick

From the abstract: “Every system is a distributed system” has become a common catchphrase among distributed system theoreticians and distributed database vendors…and they’re right. What hasn’t become common are actionable discourse about what this concretely implies for real-world systems, and how it differs from the status quo. Drawing inspiration from and parallels with some of the lessons learned from our collective migration towards functional programming languages and data-orientation, I will attempt to provide part of one such discourse.

Philly ETE 2014 #13- Design Patterns for Mobile Applications – Saul Mora

From the abstract: Mobile Apps are the new hotness. However, when it comes to building mobile apps, the new hotness can learn from some of the old skool design patterns made popular by the book Design Patterns by the Gang of Four. Many of the original design patterns introduced in this book are extremely useful in today’s network centric world. Classic Design Patterns can quickly solve problems using tried and proven techniques. However, technologies and other demands on our applications…

Philly ETE 2014 #12 – Marathon: An init.d for Your Whole Data Center – Tobi Knaup

Marathon is a framework built on Apache Mesos that provides a fault-tolerant and elastic scale-out architecture for any long-lived application like Ruby on Rails/node.js-based web applications or traditional J2EE servers like Tomcat. Marathon can run applications without modification, and supports running Docker containers as well. It provides a simple REST API for controlling the app lifecycle and allows scripting of custom deploy and release policies. Marathon automatically responds to failures and makes sure your apps keep running forever. It’s the…

Philly ETE 2014 #11- Core Data Made Easy, Featuring MagicalRecord – Saul Mora

Everyone loves to hate on Core Data. It’s a very powerful framework with many great features for keeping your applications in an Object Oriented world while persisting your application’s data. What if Core Data were easy to use? What if the boilerplate code was eliminated? What if the threading model was understandable? Check out my answers to these problems in this session! And, of course we’re going to cover MagicalRecord 🙂

Philly ETE 2014 #10 – Connecting Arduino and Phones with Bluetooth and Cordova – Don Coleman

From the abstract: The internet of things is everywhere, but how do you interact with devices? This presentation will walk through using Apache Cordova to communicate with Arduino over Bluetooth. Don will demonstrate how to write cross platform Cordova applications to receive data from devices and control devices over…

Philly ETE 2014 #9 – An Introduction to Angular JS – Ken Rimple

AngularJS is an MVC JavaScript framework that has been extending itself into the enterprise like ivy on a wall. There are several reasons: dependency injection, strong testability and the ability to define business services and UI components lead the list. Ken Rimple takes a quick tour of Angular and discusses its current state, and offers tips for beginning developers.

Philly ETE 2014 #7 – Look, Ma, No Plugins! – Aaron Mulder

In the olden days, 3D in the browser meant something antiquated like VRML, Java3D, or other unpleasant formats and plugins. But many of today’s browsers can handle it natively via the HTML5 Canvas and WebGL, based on the popular OpenGL standard. But wait, you say, the only way to program anything in the browser is via JavaScript! Sure, there are libraries like three.js to help, but JavaScript is so…slow. Enter asm.js, a subset of the language specifically constructed for high performance. In this talk, we’ll look at the browser support, APIs, and JavaScript libraries for WebGL, and check out the changes needed to bump up performance with asm.js.

Philly ETE 2014 #6 – Angular Reality: Rendering the World in Real Time with AngularJS Directives and WebGL – James Wanga

From the abstract: “AngularJS directives are a powerful tool that can bring elegance to complex technologies like WebGL. Last year, with an amazing team, I won a NASA hackathon by building a drone using a quad-coptor and a custom built sonar that was later featured on the discovery channel. During my talk I’ll walk through how that project has evolved into an example of how we can use AngularJS directives and services to interact with the physical world in beautiful…
