4. What the heck is VMware doing? SpringSource? Really?!

5. Why does Steve Ballmer love developers?

6. Where does VMware fit in the Software Development Lifecycle? IT Administrators Business Owners Developers Transient VMs Test VMs Production VMs vmware

7. VMware needs to move up the stack

8. There basically two choices for any serious, career minded developer

9. Why SpringSource? = 73% percent of organizations surveyed said they either use Spring now or plan to use it within the next two years. Application developer productivity and reduced complexity stand out as key reasons for using Spring in building enterprise applications. http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/Survey-Spring-Framework-Adoption-Soars

11. What it means for us and why we should care • New relationships • Develop new relationships with folks on the development side of things • Strengthen existing relationships • Bring Additional Value • Deliver services at a higher level • Offer complete, end-to-end solutions • Sell More of the Core Business • The Steve Ballmer effect • “Top down” driven demand for more of the core infrastructure and services

12. Do we all need to learn Java now? • We do NOT need to become software developers. • But we DO need to: • Understand developer challenges • Know developer tools • Understand developer lingo • Simply put, we need to … • KNOW OUR NEW AUDIENCE

13. Itinerary: our new audience The boring OS Our new audience Peace, Love and Spring The platform The vision What it means for us Tools Frameworks

14. Programmers are translators of human ideas into the language of computers --wikipedia

15. We need to find some common ground • Understanding is the first step on the road to success. Hi • Developers • New ideas • Drive innovation • Very creative • Deep focus • Pro-change class HelloWorldApp { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); }} Dude! I think he just made fun of your sister! • Operations • Stability • Reliability • Process driven • Wide focus • Anti-change

19. Java 101: the Java programming language The Java programming language is a high-level, object-oriented language. The language is unusual because it is both compiled and interpreted. Compilation translates Java code into an intermediate language called bytecode. Bytecode is then interpreted by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for the the underlying operating system and hardware. Source code Compiler Bytecode Windows Linux Mac Bytecode Bytecode Bytecode JVM JVM JVM

20. Java 101: the J2EE platform

21. Java 101: the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) as a platform The JVM has also proven to be a robust platform for executing languages other than the Java programming language. For example, Groovy, Scala, and special implementations of Ruby and Python give developers the versatility to program for the JVM in a dynamic or functional language. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/newto/?ca=dgr-lnxw961New2Javadth-J&S_TACT=105AGX59&S_CMP=GRlnxw961

22. Typical Java challenges • Tangled CodeInfrastructure and business logic interspersed • Code DuplicationMany versions of the update routine • JDBCVery low level code = Error Prone • Result? • Slow to Change • Awful code that nobody wants to maintain

24. Application Frameworks Application Application D A A D B Class Library Application Framework E C Component A Component A Component D Component D Component B Component B Component E Component E Component C Component C Component F Component F Frameworks contain some functionality or flow and calls your code to extend or make the flow a specific one. The principle of frameworks calling your code is known as Inversion of Control.

25. The Spring Framework

26. Groovy & Grails: Ruby on Rails for Java developers Grails is an advanced and innovative open source web application platform that delivers new levels of developer productivity by applying principles like Convention over Configuration. Groovy is the leading open source dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine that offers a flexible Java-like syntax that most Java developers can learn in matter of hours. Groovy provides features seen in other dynamic languages like Ruby, Python or Smalltalk.

27. Java challenges? We ain’t got no stinking Java challenges! Tangled Code • Dependency Injection • Decouples components • Test a component in isolation • Aspect Oriented Programming • Management in one place • Dedupe code chunks Code Duplication • Simplified Transaction Framework • No low levels calls to manage • Handles opening, exceptions, cleanup, etc. JDBC

29. An analogy VIC (VMware Infrastructure Client) Our primary interface to the virtual environment IDE (Integrated Development Environment) A developer’s primary interface to the application development environment

30. Spring STS • SpringSource Tool Suite™ (STS) provides the best Eclipse-powered development environment for building Spring-powered enterprise applications. • Task focused development • OSGi made easy • Guided learning • Resolve problems faster

31. Spring Roo • “Roo is a little genie who sits in the background and handles the things I don't want to worry about” • Roo is an extensible, text-based RAD tool for Java • Roo is development-time only (no Roo runtime) • Roo is a hybrid code generator (both active and passive) • Uses Java’s strengths
