Presentation: "Developing Java Applications for the Cloud, present and future"

Track: Open platforms / Time: Tuesday 10:20 - 11:10 / Location: 2nd Floor Balcony, Musikhuset

Java application developers have new options for building and deploying their applications, with Platform as a Service environments like Heroku and CloudFoundry offering Java runtimes and frameworks. These environments allow developers to focus completely on developing their application content, abstracting away most of the environmental issues.

In this talk, we'll take a look at the developer experience building a Java application in Eclipse, working with a CloudFoundry runtime. At the same time, there are exciting new development capablities arriving for non-compiled languages like Javascript. As an eye-opener, we'll show a completely browser-based development experience for a node.js application. What would it take to bring this experience to Java developers? We'll talk a bit about this, too.
