Tim Bray on what’s next in Java Web development

Huffduffed by j4mie on February 17th, 2009

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.

  1. Test Driven Development, Patterns and Extreme Programming

    Relating anecdotes from the past, Kent Beck, the father of Extreme Programming and JUnit, reflects back on the impact his ideas have had in the last 20 years, especially with respect to the history of Test Driven Development (TDD), Design Patterns, and Extreme Programming (XP). According to him, good ideas take about that much time to mature and come to fruition.

    He regrets how patterns have become a tool in the arsenal of the software developer to solve a programming problem whereas he intended it to be one that would create more space for the user who was to be affected by the software. Reminiscing about the birth of patterns, he draws analogies between architecture in general and software architecture.

    Finally he discusses the factors that affect the successful acceptance of an idea.

  3. Programmers Are the New Creatives

    Programming has long been the domain of logic and order, but with the ubiquity of programming languages in our lives and the growth in tools to help you code, there has come a newfound ability for self-expression and creativity through code.

    Cameron Adams will be exploring the creative aspects of coding and how it relates to design and art. With a focus on visual and interactive design, Cameron will look at the many ways in which you can stay creative with code of all sorts — JavaScript, Processing (Java), HTML, CSS, ActionScript, even BASIC — and put the fun back into the technologies you work with everyday.
