6. JRuby Rails Workshop

   Web development has never been easier than with Ruby on Rails. Ruby is a popular open-source language and has gained exponential momentum in the recent past. Rails is an open-source web framework for developing database-backed applications according to the Model-View-Controller pattern.

   From the first day using Ruby-on-Rails, you have a runnable application, complete with development server. JRuby, a 100%-pure Java implementation of the Ruby language, provides a complete runtime for Ruby on the Java platform. With JRuby, Rails can beeasily run on the Java platform. JRuby on Rails brings the agility of Rails to Java technology-based servers and applications, from the simplest web applications to the largest enterprise deployments. It promises agility for web tier developers across all organizations, in addition to the ease of use and proven scalability of Java technology-based application servers, such as GlassFish.

   Attendees will become power users of JRuby and GlassFish by learning various Warbler tricks, Capistrano recipes, Monitoring and Performance guidelines, deployment strategies, and much more.

   Please bring your own personal laptop.
   Instructors: Nick Sieger, Arun Gupta, Vivek Pandey, Jacob Kessler, and a very special suprise guest!

7. Development and Optimization with DTrace
   This deep-dive session is an intensive, hands-on approach on incorporating DTrace into a developer's role. The session begins with an overview of DTrace's capabilities in the Solaris environment, and a discussion of how providers supply program state and context to interested observers through probes. A walk-through of script-building, including an advanced exploration of D program capabilities and helpful techniques, followed by some examples of incorporating DTrace into C and Java development covers the major portion of the day. The session concludes with a list of effective practices for minimizing the effect of DTrace on a running system and tuning DTrace consumers for best results.
   
   Demonstration are a key portion to all elements of the session. Access to all prepared demos will be available to attendees.
   
   
   Course Outline
   • Overview
   • Providers and Probes
   • Building DTrace Scripts
   • Advanced Scripting
   • Development in C and Java
