Bringing the Open Source to the Enterprise! An incomplete story
You have been there before, wondering why do we pay all this money in licensing while we can go Open Source. You work for government, non-profit, healthcare, or an IT consulting company, you propose Open Source, but you find objections. If you are lucky enough to get an Open Source project going, you meet resistance and many challenges. Well, you are not alone. Let's contemplate on few stories.

Declarative web data visualization using ClojureScript
by Kevin Lynagh
Excellent statistical graphics first and foremost *show the data*.
Likewise, the tools for making such graphics should emphasize essential data-visual mappings and hide implementation details.
We describe a D3-like language for visualizing data on the web using declarative, constraint-based layout, implemented in ClojureScript. -
Desktop Applications in the 21st Century
Within 10 years 90% of people will use a smartphone, tablet, or other non-traditional device as their primary computing interface.

Kotlin: A Good Citizen on the Java Platform
by Hadi Hariri
Ever wondered how you could benefit from using a new JVM-targeted language? It seems hard to change horses in mainstream, while having a huge code base in production. And in the end, you don’t use tools because they are cool, but because they lower your cost/effect ratio…
It turns out that the infrastructural cost of using Kotlin code in your Java project is close to nothing: one more step in your build script and one IDE plugin, and you can call Java code from Kotlin as well as call Kotlin code from Java.
In this talk we will tell you what you get in return.
You can read more about Kotlin at http://kotlin.jetbrains.org
And try it out at http://kotlin-demo.jetbrains.com/ -

I will end with special visual effects on a video players much like YouTube Christmas player or other Canvas tricks that will lead the industry -
Optimizing MySQL Configuration
MySQL's configuration file is often the focus of too much attention, and too much tweaking of variables that make no difference -- or worse, have the potential to negatively impact performance. The sample default configuration files that come with MySQL are unfortunately not very helpful or good, either. We'll looking in creating a better one in this session.

Client/Server Apps with HTML5 and Java
by James Ward
The web application landscape is rapidly shifting back to a Client/Server architecture. This time around the Client is JavaScript, HTML, and CSS in the browser. The tools and deployment techniques for these types of applications are abundant and fragmented. This session will teach you how to pull together jQuery, LESS, Twitter Bootstrap, and some CoffeeScript to build the Client. The Server could be anything that talks HTTP but this session will use the Play Framework. You will also learn how to deploy Client/Server web apps on the cloud using a Content Delivery Network (Amazon CloudFront) for the Client and a Cloud Application Provider (Heroku) for the Server.
