Building an Erlang microservice from A to Z open_in_new

Microservices are the new black, but what are they and why should you use them? This workshop's goal is to demonstrate the advantages of microservice architecture and teach you how to build your first production-ready Erlang microservice! Together we will build a simple distributed key-value store with a RESTful API and go over all aspects of an Erlang project (from build tools to scaling out our microservice).

Instrumentation and Monitoring for Functional Architectures open_in_new

Using a hands-on format, this workshop will address the design and construction of a well-understood back-of-house system found in larger organizations: a resource-consumption based billing system. We will focus on multi-group collaboration to build a service-oriented architecture with individual groups being responsible for a service vertical. Basic infrastructure tools and specific goals for each service vertical will introduce and teach functional concepts that will be immediately useful in existing production environment. Each service vertical and the total integrated system will be exercised by a tool that I will provide. Intra-component protocols will be well-specified and groups will be free to meet their goals as they see fit. No specific language will be used. Participants are encouraged to use languages they are comfortable with. The principles being taught in this workshop will require functional architectures and this will be covered explicitly. Special emphasis will be placed on designing for instrumentation and monitoring using functional principles and the goals of the workshop will support this emphasis.

Introduction to Swift Workshop open_in_new

If you are an experienced developer who hasn't had a chance to look at the Swift Programming Language, this workshop is for you.

We'll look at language fundamentals: functions, variables and constants, collections, control-flow, optionals, generics, and closures. We'll look at Swift classes, objects, protocols, structs, modules, and enumerations.

We'll use Swift Playgrounds to explore some of these aspects of the language including the latest additions to Swift 2.0.

Swift is scheduled to be open sourced this fall. You will be able to use it for development on Linux and OS X.

There will be several hands-on portions of this workshop. To fully participate in those, you must have the Xcode 7 beta installed on your Mac.

Implementing Reactive Applications using Akka (and Play) open_in_new

So you have read the reactive manifesto. What does it mean? How reactive traits are used in real world applications? How does one implement - event-driven, scalable, resilient & responsive applications for JVM?

I think its time to act on it. In this workshop we will take ideas from manifesto and implement them in an application.

Its time to take ideas from the manifesto and implement them in an application and learn how these ideas can be used in real world. We will use Java 8 and Scala to build our solution.

Rescuing your Legacy Code with Erlang open_in_new

This workshop will examine some of the challenges posed by having to work with a large legacy codebase while attempting to leverage more modern, powerful and appropriate languages and ways to overcome them.

The problem:

• Your existing C/C++ code is not Erlang (or Haskell or any of the good languages).
• Your existing code assumes all the other code it directly talks to is in the same un-good language.
• You really want to use a good language, but your manager won't let you because of the above two.

At a minimum, you'll need marshalling / de-marshalling to be able to communicate between old and new code. But creating this often results in a maintenance nightmare where any time you want to change a structure, you need to change its description in each language specific declaration as well as the (de)marshalling code.

This workshop will build up, from the basics, a system that will automatically generate language specific structure declarations as well as marshalling code, all generated from a single canonical source, leaving you only one place to edit when you need to change the structure.

Agenda

• Review and analysis of the problem
• Architecture of the solution:
  • Canonical data schema
  • Schema parser
  • Per-language metadata generator
  • Per-language code generator
• Let's design a schema language
• The Erlang yecc parser generator
• Generating language specific metadata
• Metaprogramming with erlyDTL

Learning Outcome

Attendees will learn some of the pitfalls involved in trying to interface between native-compilation languages and higher level VM-encapsulated languages like Erlang, as well as some techniques for simplifying the process.

Target Audience

Developers who work with multiple languages or who wish to introduce new languages into an existing legacy system

Julia - A Lisp for Fast Number Crunching open_in_new

Julia is a programming language for data science and numerical computing. Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic language, it uses just-in-time compilation to provide fast machine code - dynamic code runs at about half the speed of C, and orders of magnitude faster than traditional numerical computing tools.

Julia borrows two main ideas from Lisp lore:

1. Multiple-dispatch: a method is identified by a name and the types of all of its arguments (traditional OOP only uses the type of a single argument) multiple-dispatch allows for a natural programming model suitable for mathematics and general purpose programming. Interestingly, the same feature is responsible for Julia's ability to generate really fast machine code.
2. Macros: Julia has syntax that is familiar to users of other technical computing environments, however, Julia expressions are homoiconic -- Julia code can be represented as Julia data structures, and transformed from one form to another via hygienic macros. There are some very interesting uses of macros to create domain-specific languages for effective programming.

Co-Presenter

This workshop will be co-presented by Shashi Gowda

Outline/Structure of the Session

• What is Julia and why Julia
• Simple expressions and syntax
• Basic functional programming
• Type system: mutable and immutable types, abstract type, type parameters, types with constant parameters
• Multiple-dispatch through examples
• Quoted expressions and Expr type
• Macros and macro expansion
• Examples of DSLs created with macros
• Some simple benchmarks
• How to inspect low-level generated code (llvm and native)
• Julia's module system and how to create a package

Array Oriented Functional Programming with Dyalog open_in_new

Dyalog is a modern, array-first, multi-paradigm programming language, which supports functional, object-oriented and imperative programming based on an APL language kernel. During the morning and early afternoon, Dyalog's functional language guru John Scholes will introduce the fundamentals of functional programming in APL. At the end of the day, Dyalog CTO Morten Kromberg will round off with an application development session, showing how a simple web application with a HTML5/JS front-end and a RESTful web service can be used to deliver the power of APL to end users, or as embeddable components for other application tools. The "hands on" sections of the workshop can be followed under Mac OS X, Linux, or Microsoft Windows.

Morten Kromberg has been developing applications and tools for developers in APL since 1979 – almost ¾ of the time that has passed since the first APL interpreter saw the light of day in 1966 (coincidentally, this is roughly the same fraction of his own life). Amongst other things, he was the CTO of Adaytum Software from 1995 to 2000 (http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Adaytum... where he was responsible for the development of a highly successful business planning solution based upon APL, which was subsequently acquired by Cognos and is currently known as IBM Cognos 8 Planning.

Since 2005, Morten has been the CTO of Dyalog Ltd (www.dyalog.com) , which has become the fastest-growing vendor of APL interpreters, based in Bramley (Hampshire), UK. Morten is a frequent speaker at APL conferences, and presented a paper titled “Arrays of Objects” at 2007 the symposium on Dynamic Languages, on the integration of object and array paradigms in Dyalog APL (http://portal.acm.org/citation...).
