GigaSpaces canceled on us yesterday afternoon. Erik and I discussed canceling the meeting but decided that we would not and instead we’ll look at the recently announced Spring Certification Program from SpringSource. We’ll look at the published requirements and discuss the possibility or some brush up training for certification.
Hope everyone can still make the meeting, it will just be a little more unstructured than normal.
TITLE:
“No more hops! - towards a linearly scalable application infrastructure.”
ABSTRACT:
This talk focuses on the architecture and the patterns implemented behind the scenes that enable the GigaSpaces XAP (ZAP) platform to scale linearly and still provide a rich and fault-tolerant programming model.
Learn how to leverage the simplicity and consistency of Spring and achieve the scalability of Google. Understand the programming paradigm known as SBA and Discover what the power of Transparent Partitioning and Colocation can do for applications ranging from Logistics to Order Processing to Algorithmic Trading.
