Back to the Enterprise Wed Nov 12th

For the last 10 years, Enterprise Application Architecture, JEE specifically, has been advertised to corporations as being the elite class of software solutions meant to solve challenges of scalability, concurrency, performance, security and even simplicity (the nerve!). But if you look beyond the corporate walls of downtown Calgary, into the land of the Internet, you will find very little "enterprise anything". Furthermore, you'll find that most successful internet businesses deal with scalability, stability and security challenges that make the enterprise look laughable by comparison.

Clinton Begin 10 years of Enterprise Java experience, but for the last two years of his career, he's visited the land of Dot-com: startups, venture capital, social networks, dynamic languages, cloud computing and more. Now, Clinton is returning to the enterprise with a whole new view of how to simplify application architecture, while achieving a level of robustness far beyond that of most prescribed "enterprise" architectures.

In this session, Clinton will share some of his experiences and how he plans to apply them to real world Java.

Clinton Begin has built a presence in both the enterprise and open source communities. Having consulted as a Senior Developer and Agile Mentor for industry greats such as ThoughtWorks, Microsoft and Stanford University, his experiences have spanned a broad range of business and technical domains. Clinton has applied agile methodologies, open source software, Java, .NET and Ruby to the development of large-scale applications. He is an experienced author, speaker, and has delivered formal presentations and training from San Francisco to New York City.
