Docker talk at SVCC’15
Some short notes from a talk from Ted Young on the Docker ecosystem. Slides available here.
BusyBox – a number of use linux tools packaged up in to a single file. “The Swiss Army knife of Embedded Linux”
CoreOS and Red Hat’s Atomic are particularly suited for running containers, work well with (and I think even come preinstalled with) Docker.
VM vs Container. VMs ofter have multiple apps running in them (e.g. a tomcat with multiple apps running it int). With containers it is typically 1 app per container. Containers typically run within a VM (although can run on “raw metal” too). Multiple containers per VM? – I’m not so clear on!
Cgroups may be used to limit and control resource usage.
12 Factor apps – Good practices for building “cloud native” or software-as-a-service apps.

‘An Introduction to Spring’ at LA Code Camp
I gave my ‘An Introduction to Spring’ talk today at the LA code camp. It went fairly well I think. I had very little time to go through the Spring MVC module at the end, but perhaps I will give that as a separate talk another day.
I have posted the presentation slides here.

Speaking at LA Code Camp
I am very pleased to say I will be speaking at the LA Code Camp this weekend. My topic is An Introduction to Spring. I will try to post a report from the code camp this weekend…
This is the same talk I had planned to present at the Silicon Valley Code Camp, so great to be finally giving it…
Spring talk canceled
With much reluctance, I have had to cancel my planned Spring presentation at Silicon Valley Code Camp this weekend. I have been knocked out with flu all week and I am still hoarse, so giving a one hour talk is, unfortunately, not an option.
It is a shame as there was a lot of interest in the talk but in this instance can’t be helped.
CodeCamp 2009: An Introduction to Spring
As I posted about earlier, the Silicon Valley Code Camp 2009 is coming up and this year, I am planning on presenting a session on the Spring framework.
You can find my session details here: An Introduction to Spring.
Silicon Valley Code Camp 2009
The planning for this year’s Silicon Valley Code Camp seems to be well under way. After attending last year’s event, I’m looking forward to it already. There are some great sessions lined up already, including
- Beginning iPhone Development
- Creating Java Applications with Google App Engine
- Intro to Cloud Computing
- Asynchronous Web Services
As the site says: Attendance is free, but space is limited so you need to Register.
As well as attending this year, I am also hoping to present a session on ‘An Introduction to Spring’. I will post more details when I have submitted my proposal…
