JavaOne is just a few weeks away, so it's time for a preview post! The road to JavaOne started last week for me with an interview by Stephen Chin in his Night Hacking show. We have been chatting about my sessions and the book by Bert Ertman and me that will be published right before JavaOne.
This year I will have four sessions, all around the modularity theme.

Building Modular Cloud Applications in Java: Lessons Learned [CON2020]
The first talk, together with Bert Ertman, is about our experiences with modularity in the past few years with building "cloud" applications. The talk is not so much about the cloud itself, but about building modern (web) applications using a modular approach in the "cloud era". We will discuss modular architecture based on OSGi, practical examples of leveraging OSGi services and cloud deployments. If you're interested in how modularity works in practice, this talk is for you.
Tutorial: Building Modular Enterprise Applications in the Cloud Age [TUT1978]
In this two hour talk, Bert Ertman and me are not just talking about building OSGi based cloud applications, we are going to actually show you. OSGi has had a name of being complex and hard to use, but with today's tools and frameworks this is far from true. During this talk we will show how to build modular applications based on dynamic OSGi services by implementing an application from scratch during the talk. If you are relatively new to OSGi, this is the perfect introduction to developing with OSGi. You will learn about modular architecture, package imports/exports, versioning, dynamic services and we will show how to use interact with MongoDB and create RESTful web services. Although the application that we will build during the talk is obviously small, it uses the exact same architecture and patterns that we use in large scale applications.
Modularity in the Cloud: A Case Study [CON2775]
While the previous two talks are mostly about building modular applications, this talk if focussed at deploying modular applications. "Cloud" features such as auto scaling and automated failover sound great, but actually setting this up for large deployments isn't trivial. In this talk, Marcel Offermans and me will share how we have been deploying a large scale OSGi application to the cloud in the past two years. We will also cover baselining and versioning of OSGi bundles, and applying modular deployments. The central component in our approach is Apache ACE; a provisioning server that fits cloud deployments perfectly. If you are either using OSGi and wonder about ways to deploy applications, or are facing the general challenge of deploying to the cloud this talk is for you.
Modular JavaScript [CON2959]
Me giving a talk about JavaScript at JavaOne. I didn't see that one coming! A few years ago I would probably have laughed at the idea, but a lot has change since that time. JavaScript is now a major part of the development I'm involved in. With that, I also started to notice the same problems with JavaScript that we have with Java; how do you keep a large code base maintainable? In this talk, Sander Mak and me will discuss possibilities to introduce modularity in JavaScript. We will be looking at module systems available in JavaScript, and will give detailed examples of RequireJS. Next we will discuss modularity at a higher level that requires services and dependency injection. We will give some examples based on AngularJS. We will also show how all of this fits a modular Java backend, so that we achieve modularity end-to-end.
Book signing session
Bert and me will have a book signing session during the JavaOne week. Rumour goes that there will be some free book give aways... I will tweet the exact time and location when I have the details.
