Open Source Speaker Series: SilverStripe CMS

Google Tech Talks
August 1, 2007

ABSTRACT

Learn about New Zealand from two of their biggest open-source developers and evangelists (and who have naturally starred in The Lord Of The Rings.)

Sam Minnee and Sigurd Magnusson are two of the three founders of New-Zealand based "SilverStripe", a company and open source project with ten students participating in this year’s Google Summer of Code.

They will share wisdom learnt managing people in an open source project, share ideas from developing a rich web interface and templating system, and stories from wearing the ring of darkness.
Sigurd has been living and breathing free software since his teens in the 1990s, discovering a 486 with Redhad Linux could run Quake fast enough to frag others at LAN games. His grandma taught him BASIC and C and got him access to a precursor of New Zealand’s first ISPs, which culminated years later with founding SilverStripe, an open source web-development company bent on making fantastic applications to simplify building and managing websites. Having let a dozen others at SilverStripe surpass him at PHP, Sigurd has now been charged with building up the SilverStripe community and producing other things, like daughters.
Sam is the lead architect of SilverStripe and has challenged the manner in which software is constructed ever since he began programming in his teens. Armed with a degree in computer science and philosophy, Sam has been mentoring and guiding the development of a dozen coders, hundreds of websites, and hundreds of thousands of lines of code. He has a firm grasp on intelligently structuring code as well as producing useful, enjoyable system interfaces, particularly helpful in the challenge of making SilverStripe a great tool for building and managing websites.

Leveraging Unit Tests As Functional Tests, Load Tests, and Service Monitors

Google Tech Talks
August 13, 2007

ABSTRACT

Frank Cohen, the leading authority on XML, Platforms, Applications and Database (XPAD) optimization will give a TechTalk at Google on the issues confronting software developers, QA technicians, and IT managers to rapidly surface and solve functional and performance problems in service environments.

Frank will demonstrate the new PushToTest TestMaker Version 5 open- source end-to-end service governance and test automation tool. Software developers use PushToTest to turn their unit tests into functional tests in a test automation platform that runs on their development machine. Frank will demonstrate PushToTest’s Wizards and Recorders to automatically build tests and supports a variety of languages, including Java, .NET, Jython, Groovy, PHP, Ruby, and many others. Plus Frank will show how PushToTest Version 5 supports SOA, Web Service, AJAX, and REST services using HTTP, HTTPS, SOAP, XML- RPC, and the email protocols.

Frank will show how the platform requires no programming to turns these same functional tests into load tests and service monitors for QA technicians, IT operations managers, and CIOs. PushToTest test run- time load tests and service monitors integrate into Service Registry/ Repository products and database performance optimization and root- cause analysis tools.

Web Services Middleware: All Grown Up!
Google engEDU
47 min – Nov 8, 2006

Google Tech Talks
November 8, 2006

ABSTRACT
The term Web services carries the connotation of (slowly) doing RPC over SOAP. While many original SOAP toolkits supported and promoted that model (including Apache SOAP which I created), that is not at all what Web services are about. Apache’s history with Web services has seen three generations of efforts: Apache SOAP, Apache Axis and now Apache Axis2.

Axis2 is fundamentally different: instead of treating XML as a hot potato that must be replaced with a language structure immediately, it treats XML lovingly and offers a very clean processing model for XML. Of course it does support data binding for those that want to look a the XML as objects but the core of Axis2 is a pure XML processing architecture.

Axis2 is the basis of a new kind of enterprise middleware. Building on that core stack we have built support for the entire security protocol (Apache Rampart and Rahas) set as well as for reliability (Apache Sandesha) and transactions (Apache Kandula). Apache Synapse is providing ESB like message and service mediation capabilities on top of Axis2.

Axis2 supports both WS-* style services as well as XML-over-HTTP (POX) style services. We’re also working on JSON support and a host of other cool stuff. We support HTTP, SMTP and JMS with other transports on the way (including XMPP).

The Axis2 architecture is being implemented in both Java and C, with the C version bound to PHP and other scripting languages as well as Firefox, IE and other hosts.

In this talk we will introduce the new generation of Apache Web services middleware. Read the rest of this entry »
