Slides from EclipseCon Europe 2013

Last week I was at EclipseCon Europe where I gave two talks. The first one was about making the Eclipse IDE fun again. The major part of the talk was a number of live demos and showcases for making the IDE fun and even more useful again. But since these live demos are not on the slides, they are a bit misleading and highlighting mostly the pain points that we talked about in the intro section of the talk. Anyway, here are the slides:

EclipseCon-Europe 2013: Making the Eclipse IDE fun again from martinlippert

The other talk was about improving performance of Eclipse-based tooling:

EclipseCon-Europe 2013: Optimizing performance - how to make your Eclipse-based tools run fasterEce2013 optimizing performance from martinlippert

Coming up: EclipseCon Europe 2013

One of my favorite conferences of the year is coming up: EclipseCon Europe. It takes place from October 29-31 in Ludwigsburg, Germany, and I proudly served as a member of the program committee again this year (which was awesome). So I am really looking forward to the conference and to meet all the people from the Eclipse community.

One of the main topics for me this year are all the activities and sessions around the general Eclipse platform and Eclipse as an IDE topic. A lot of discussion is happening in- and outside of the community about the future of the Eclipse as an IDE, a possible lack of innovation and awesomeness, and similar complains. Therefore I am very much looking forward to these talks:

• Eclipse Committer Bootcamp (tutorial)
• Become an Eclipse Committer in 20 min and fork the Eclipse IDE
• Eclipse and Java™ 8
• Eclipse Contributor Hackathon
• Eclipse JDT Kung Fu

In addition to those talks I am involved in two additional sessions around this topic:

• Making the Eclipse IDE fun again
• The Eclipse IDE - lets make it fun and successful again

Of course I am still a big fan of the Eclipse Orion project and I am very happy to see a good set of talks being presented about Orion at EclipseCon Europe:

• End to end web application development with Orion
• Orion meets SAP (presented by SAP)
• Developing for the Cloud, in the Cloud, with Eclipse Orion (presented by IBM)
• Designing a silver lining - the cloud based user experience of Orion
• The Hitchhiker's Guide to Orion Solutions
• Orion, Flower Platform and Diagrams: How to Build Enterprise HTML5 Apps in Minutes. And Then Maintain Them

And there are so many more awesome talks in the program. It is going to be a fantastic conference. Looking forward to seeing you there!!!

Coming up: EclipseCon Europe 2012

This years EclipseCon Europe conference is going to be awesome!!! It starts only a week from now in Ludwigsburg again and I am very much looking forward to it. Why? Well, let me explain why I am so excited about it... :-)

First of all, I am really looking forward to meet a lot of good friends and colleagues from the Eclipse community. I love all those amazingly prolific chats in the coffee breaks and around the sessions. You should go there as well and meet all the people who are working on your favorite Eclipse projects. Ask them questions, motivate them by giving them good and constructive feedback, and enjoy the time. I also very often use those meetings to also say "Thank You" to those who helped me on mailing lists, implemented bug fixes that I am benefiting from or helped me to fix issues on my own. Its a good chance to say "Thank You"... :-)

In addition to that I am also looking forward to the awesome program and some good BoF sessions, of course. Here are my favorite ones that I am going to watch:

• The Future of Eclipse: Eclipse needs to continuously innovate and improve itself as a platform, as an IDE, and as an ecosystem. So looking ahead at the next challenges for Eclipse is important, and brainstorming about what might (need to) come up after the 4.x releases is at the heart of such a conference like EclipseCon and could be inspiring for all of us. 
• Orion - a browser based tools integration platform: The Orion project at Eclipse is one of the most promising and inspiring projects at Eclipse, at least from my point of view. Looking at the browser as a runtime environment is one of the natural choices when doing software engineering today, and thinking about software development tools themselves as running in the browser it part of our all future, I think. Orion moves ahead into this direction.
• A regular day as an Eclipse Committer: A look behind the scenes is always interesting, especially if you would like to get involved in the development of an existing project at Eclipse or maybe even think about proposing a new project. And I am sure Benjamin and Steffen will give a lively and interesting talk on how much fun working on Eclipse projects can be.
• Tycho adoption: Lessons learned, tips and tricks from the 1st line of front: Tycho is becoming a standard for building Eclipse-based applications, p2 repositories, plugins, features, distributions, RCP apps, and whatever artifact you can think of. And adopting a new build system is not always as easy as you might think. So its definitely worth to listen to those experiences before doing it yourself. 
• Eclipse Spykit - A Handy Tool for Startup Analysis: Analyzing performance, especially startup performance, is an important work to do. But it can be really painful to figure out what exactly is happening at startup - and why. I am looking forward to this talk on the Eclipse Spykit to help you with this.
• Flight Club and Club ECE: Don't forget to have some fun with the Drones and the live music!

Last but not least I am excited to give a talk myself about "Embracing Eclipse Orion" - where I will talk about re-using Eclipse Orion and demo the "Scripted" project, a browser-based JavaScript editor that we released last week on GitHub: https://github.com/scripted-editor/scripted.

Why SOLID matters - even for JavaScript

This week I was invited to give a talk for the AdCloud Tech Talk series in Cologne, where I talked about design principles in general, the SOLID set of design principles in more detail, and why I think they matter for JavaScript development as well. My slides are available as PDF or from Slideshare.

Some special thanks also go to Derek Greer, who wrote a great blog article series on SOLID principles for JavaScript and from where I borrowed the example code snippets.

Enjoy!

open and transparent demo camp sponsoring

Its been a while since Peter Friese and I started to organize the Eclipse Demo Camp in Hamburg. And since the early days, we couldn't have done it without companies sponsoring the event so that we could sit in a nice location, have free drinks and quite often even free food for everybody joining us to watch great demos and great speakers.

Since sponsoring was always an important part of organizing that event, we decided to try something new in this area. For the next demo camp (the Juno release camps in the summer of 2012), we try a totally open and transparent sponsoring. Everybody is invited to join us sponsoring this event. All you (as a sponsor) need to do is: register yourself as a sponsor on the demo camp wiki page with your name and the amount of money you would like to spend. And we explicitly invite everybody: from big companies spending several hundreds of Euros to individuals spending only a few bucks. Every single Euro is welcome and highly appreciated.

The sponsoring will have absolutely zero effect on the selection of speakers or demos and we continue to have no sponsored talks or company presentations at the beginning (the only exception to this is if the management of the company that is giving us the room for free is asking for a small intro at the beginning, but we try to avoid that as well). And attendance will be free, as usual... :-)

Ah, one more thing: We will donate 20% of the food/drinks that we order for the event to a local organization that helps homeless people. We think its not fair when we sit inside having more food than we can eat and having other people sitting on the street being hungry. Therefore 20% of all the drinks/food that we order will be delivered directly to that organization on the evening of the demo camp.

Conference Slide Updates

I went to four conferences over the past weeks, talking about various topics around the Spring and Eclipse tooling universe. All the talks included a number of live demos, so just looking at the slides doesn't give you the full experience and content of the talk. But anyway, I uploaded the slides for those who want to take a look:

• SpringOne 2011: Spring Tooling Update - New and Noteworthy (pdf, slideshare)
• JAX London 2011: WaveMaker - Spring Roo - SpringSource Tool Suite - Choosing the right tool for the right job (pdf, slideshare)
• EclipseCon Europe 2011: All about Virgo (pdf, slideshare)
• WJAX 2011: WaveMaker - Spring Roo - SpringSource Tool Suite - Choosing the right tool for the right job (pdf, slideshare)

Book on Agile Development Practices using Scrum

Quite some time ago I was invited to contribute a book chapter to a new German book on development practices and techniques for Scrum, edited by Roman Pichler and Stefan Roock. What an honor to join them on this book project, so I wrote a chapter on agile software development using the automated refactorings that modern IDEs provide. Meanwhile the book is already out since a few month and contains a collection of really cool chapters from all kind of different authors from the agile universe. Take a look if you are interested in agile software development and willing to read a book in German... :-)

Video podcast from the OSGi Users Forum UK meeting on OSGi Tooling

Last week I went to the OSGi Users Forum UK meeting in London to join a panel on OSGi Development Tooling. I was invited as one of the people working on the Virgo IDE, the Eclipse-based developer tooling for the Virgo runtime at Eclipse (which we recently contributed from vmware to Eclipse and made the first milestone build available to the public).

The idea of the panel was to tell the panelists (all somewhat related to OSGi tooling) what you wanna get from those tools, what you are missing and what you would like to have in the future. Obviously we touched the old discussion whether manifest-first or manifest-generation is the better or more natural way of doing OSGi development, but this was not the only topic.

Now there is a video podcast available online:

• OSGi Users' Forum UK: OSGi Development Tooling Panel

It was fun having a part of the panel sitting in front of the audience in person while the other part of the panel joined the session via Skype video. Thanks again to the organizers for making this panel happen!!! And enjoy the video!!!

"Spring Tooling – What’s Cooking" - Article in German Eclipse Magazin

Based on my short "New and Noteworthy" kind of talk at the JAX conference I wrote an article for the German Eclipse Magazin about what is cooking in the Spring tooling world. And the article made it for the top cover story:

So if you wanna know more about the latest news from the Spring tooling world, take a look at this. Aside of my quick walkthrough, Eberhard Wolff added a nice feature about the Cloud Foundry PaaS, which provides a great introduction to this platform. Enjoy!

My personal highlights from JAX 2011

I spent the past few days visiting the JAX 2011 conference in Mainz. And again, like the past years, it was great to meet a lot of interesting and nice people there. Aside of that, I wrote up some short notes about my personal highlights of JAX 2011 for jaxenter (in German), so if you are interested, take a look. I especially recommend to watch the Kata video with Arne Roock demoing a real Karate Kata. Enjoy!
