In the last few days I&rsquo;ve tried to make something useful and I&rsquo;m happy to have something to show.</p> <p>The first demo runs with Nailgun. The basic idea is to share a single Java VM across all clients, so they can share some objects. The second is much more complete, as its clients have their own Java VM. There are many true interpreters running, and they are sharing objects through Terracotta. Terracotta is responsible for sharing memory in Java VM clusters and, despite of its slow startup, has much more to offer. The shared objects (hats and rabbits) could be automatically persisted by Terracotta, as MagLev also does.<br /> <br /> I&rsquo;ve patched JRuby and configured Terracotta to make demos run. I&rsquo;ll upload the patches and configuration somewhere, ASAP.<br /> <br /> Working on JRuby to make it run multiple runtimes (VMs) at the same time is being really fun!<br /> &nbsp;</p><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bestechvideos.com/2008/12/03/jmaglev-jruby-sharing-objects-across-multiple-runtimes">Read more about this video…</a></p></td></tr></table><p><b>Want to control this feed contents?</b>&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bestechvideos.com/user/all/signup">Sign up here</a> and create your own feed!</p><hr/>Want more on these topics?<br/>Browse the archive of posts filed under <a rel="nofollow">Development</a>, <a rel="nofollow">Broadcasting</a>, <a rel="nofollow">Java</a>, <a rel="nofollow">Ruby</a>, <a rel="nofollow">Screencasts</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/BestTechVideos?a=X9Mydi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/BestTechVideos?i=X9Mydi" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?a=LknXo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?i=LknXo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?a=fCnRO"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?i=fCnRO" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?a=btMho"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?i=btMho" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BestTechVideos/~4/473902656" height="1" width="1"/> Dmytro Shteflyuk http://www.bestechvideos.com/2008/12/03/jmaglev-jruby-sharing-objects-across-multiple-runtimes Wed, 03 Dec 2008 11:04:22 -0800 http://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=BestTechVideos&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestechvideos.com%2F2008%2F12%2F03%2Fjmaglev-jruby-sharing-objects-across-multiple-runtimeshttp://www.bestechvideos.com/2008/12/03/jmaglev-jruby-sharing-objects-across-multiple-runtimes http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BestTechVideos/~3/473769144/scott-ambler-on-agile-s-present-and-future <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td width="170" valign="top"><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bestechvideos.com/2008/12/03/scott-ambler-on-agile-s-present-and-future"><img alt="Scott Ambler On Agile&#x002019;s Present and Future" height="110" src="http://www.bestechvideos.com//thumbnails/0001/4171/_thumb.jpg" style="border:1px solid #7f7f7f;" width="150"/></a></p></td><td valign="top"><p><b>Summary</b> <br /> In this interview, InfoQ&rsquo;s Chief Editor, Floyd Marinescu, interviewed Scott Ambler, Practice Lead for Agile Development at IBM, on the current status of the Agile community and practices having a look at the perspective of the Agile&rsquo;s future. <br /> <br /> <b>Bio</b> <br /> Scott Ambler is Practice Leader Agile Development within the IBM Methods group in Ontario, Canada.

However, applying functional ideas can benefit your applications in other ways, too. This talk will describe the key ideas in functional programming, the functional-like features that Ruby already supports, and how you can improve your code by leveraging functional programming ideas.</p> <p>Ruby supports several functional programming features. You can make variables immutable (value objects) and you can write functions with no side effects, meaning they don't modify any global or object state and all the work they do is returned by the functions. These characteristics may sound restrictive, but they eliminate common bugs, as we will see.</p> <p>These characteristics also make concurrency easier, as there is no state shared between threads that requires synchronization! We will examine functional-style concurrency in Ruby, using the Actor model, for example.</p> <p>Functions are "first class citizens" in functional programming (as the name might imply), meaning you can assign them to variables and pass them as arguments to other functions. Of course, Ruby already supports functions (methods) as first-class citizens and closures are anonymous functions.</p> <p>Ruby DSL's are naturally declarative in nature, like most functional code. Code simplification is a major benefit in large, non-trivial applications!</p> <p>Along the way, we will see a few other useful functional techniques, like ways to avoid using nil values and better use of arrays, maps, and pattern matching.</p> <p>When finished, you will have a new appreciation for the benefits that functional programming can bring to your Ruby projects.</p> <p><strong>About Dean Wampler<br /> </strong>I'm a consultant at Object Mentor, "Uncle Bob's" company. Recently, I've focused on "polyglot and poly-paradigm programming"; how to combine languages and modularity "paradigms" (OOP, FP, aspect-oriented programming, etc.) to implement applications in the most effective way. In particular, I have started using Functional Programming ideas to improve my Ruby code.</p> <p>My open source projects are Aquarium (aquarium.rubyforge.org), an aspect-oriented toolkit for Ruby, Contract4J (contract4j.org), a design-by-contract tool for Java, and I've contributed to FitNesse (fitnesse.org), an acceptance testing tool for many languages.</p> <p>I blog frequently on the Object Mentor blog, blog.objectmentor.com.</p><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bestechvideos.com/2008/11/30/rubyconf-2008-better-ruby-through-functional-programming">Read more about this video…</a></p></td></tr></table><p><b>Want to control this feed contents?</b>&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bestechvideos.com/user/all/signup">Sign up here</a> and create your own feed!</p><hr/>Want more on these topics?<br/>Browse the archive of posts filed under <a rel="nofollow">Conferences</a>, <a rel="nofollow">Development</a>, <a rel="nofollow">Ruby</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/BestTechVideos?a=9gAFpb"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/BestTechVideos?i=9gAFpb" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?a=j63no"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?i=j63no" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?a=WYf7O"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?i=WYf7O" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?a=MpRno"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?i=MpRno" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BestTechVideos/~4/473769147" height="1" width="1"/> Dmytro Shteflyuk http://www.bestechvideos.com/2008/11/30/rubyconf-2008-better-ruby-through-functional-programming Wed, 03 Dec 2008 08:36:04 -0800 http://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=BestTechVideos&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestechvideos.com%2F2008%2F11%2F30%2Frubyconf-2008-better-ruby-through-functional-programminghttp://www.bestechvideos.com/2008/11/30/rubyconf-2008-better-ruby-through-functional-programming http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BestTechVideos/~3/473769148/rubyconf-2008-fear-of-programming <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td width="170" valign="top"><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bestechvideos.com/2008/11/30/rubyconf-2008-fear-of-programming"><img alt="RubyConf 2008: Fear of Programming" height="110" src="http://www.bestechvideos.com//thumbnails/0001/4163/vlcsnap-2295597_thumb.jpg" style="border:1px solid #7f7f7f;" width="150"/></a></p></td><td valign="top"><p>We developers spend a lot of time talking about how to improve technically at our craft, how to write better code, how to be more productive when we're writing code. But what about when we don't feel like coding? What about the emotions that often keep us from putting our fingers on the keyboard and working on that cool library we want to write or finishing up that cool side project we were so fired up about a few weeks ago?</p> <p>Or to put it another way, why is it that some developers turn out so much more code than the rest of us? How do they maintain five open source projects (or more!) while we might be doing good to make progress on one? It certainly might be that they're smarter, or that they spend more time at it. But maybe not...</p> <p>Maybe the reason we don't create more is that we're afraid. Afraid of not finishing, afraid of what others will say, afraid we won't know how to solve a problem, afraid that we're not working on the right thing. If creating code is even partly an act of artistry, then it's worth examining our emotional connection with what we're making.

The imperial forces are laboring tirelessly to stamp out such dangerous ideas as late-binding, and automatic memory management.</p> <p>Based on long experience, such ideas are known to cause severe performance problems at best, and to bring down the Empire with errors at worst.</p> <p>The year, 2008 Ruby vs. Java*, or ca 1990 Smalltalk vs. C++, or ...</p> <p>The languages change, but the arguments remain. After a period in the shadows, dynamic languages have been on the rise again. Ruby has been at the forefront of this resurgence, with older dynamic languages tagging along. At the same time, hard-learned lessons from the implementation of these earlier languages are starting to have an influence on implementation of the newer ones. Witness the buzz in the Ruby community about "repurposeing" projects such as MagLev.</p> <p>This talk will explore the history of the dynamic vs. static debate, and attempt to bring to light the reasons why many of the arguments against dynamic languages are based on things which just don't matter if the language isn't static.</p> <p>I'll also have a few things to say about why things like MagLev make sense.</p> <p>* Well at least Java has a better regard of GC.<br /> <br /> <strong>About Rick DeNatale</strong><br /> I am a long-time object oriented technologies, practitioner, evangelist, and provocateur.</p> <p>During a 32 year career at IBM, I served in various capacities, including the development of the initial proof of concept for IBM VisualAge/Smalltalk, a distributed implementation of the Smalltalk language, parts of VisualAge Micro Edition for Java (the precursor to Eclipse), founding member of the X3J20 Smalltalk committee, and many other activities related to Smalltalk and Java, and in the early decades of OOPSLA.</p> <p>This gave me the opportunity to know, work, and interact with many of those, some known, and others not so well known, who laid the groundwork for what we do with Ruby and how we do it.</p> <p>I've been a Ruby programmer and consultang since shortly after 'retiring' in 2006. Currently I am working at Near-Time, a software-as-a-service business based on Rails.</p> <p>My sporadic thoughts, mostly about the Ruby language and related topics can be found at my blog.</p><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bestechvideos.com/2008/11/30/rubyconf-2008-the-fall-and-rise-of-dynamic-languages">Read more about this video…</a></p></td></tr></table><p><b>Want to control this feed contents?</b>&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bestechvideos.com/user/all/signup">Sign up here</a> and create your own feed!</p><hr/>Want more on these topics?<br/>Browse the archive of posts filed under <a rel="nofollow">Conferences</a>, <a rel="nofollow">Development</a>, <a rel="nofollow">Java</a>, <a rel="nofollow">Ruby</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/BestTechVideos?a=FhG2nr"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/BestTechVideos?i=FhG2nr" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?a=DOCio"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?i=DOCio" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?a=m9LCO"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?i=m9LCO" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?a=QAXno"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/BestTechVideos?i=QAXno" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BestTechVideos/~4/472508639" height="1" width="1"/> Dmytro Shteflyuk http://www.bestechvideos.com/2008/11/30/rubyconf-2008-the-fall-and-rise-of-dynamic-languages Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:58:58 -0800 http://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=BestTechVideos&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestechvideos.com%2F2008%2F11%2F30%2Frubyconf-2008-the-fall-and-rise-of-dynamic-languageshttp://www.bestechvideos.com/2008/11/30/rubyconf-2008-the-fall-and-rise-of-dynamic-languages http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BestTechVideos/~3/472508642/rubyconf-2008-how-i-learned-to-love-javascript <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td width="170" valign="top"><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bestechvideos.com/2008/11/30/rubyconf-2008-how-i-learned-to-love-javascript"><img alt="RubyConf 2008: How I Learned to Love JavaScript" height="110" src="http://www.bestechvideos.com//thumbnails/0001/4134/Picture_1_thumb.png" style="border:1px solid #7f7f7f;" width="150"/></a></p></td><td valign="top"><p>Using Johnson (github.com/jbarnette/johnson), we'll show how tightly Ruby and JavaScript can be integrated.
