Effective Teams: The dirty little secret
by Bruce Tate

By far, the biggest factor in the success or failure of a software project is the quality of your team. Build a great team first, and great software will follow. In this session, we'll explore ways to build effective teams for modern software development. Whether you're a project manager or a technical lead, you need to know how to build the most effective team possible. In this session, we'll look at all aspects of team building, including

- What team sizes are optimal for software projects?
- How do you go about recruiting?
- What's the most effective way to ramp up skills quickly?
- What's the ideal makeup of a team for effective communication?

Get Groovier with Grails
by Venkat Subramaniam

Inspired by the Ruby on Rails project, Grails brings the ease of web development and "convention over configuration" to the Java platform. We will learn how to create web applications using Grails, how to integrate it with Hibernate, and how to Ajax it, all using the built in features of Grails. This section assumes that you are familiar with Groovy or you have attended the Groovy for Java Programmers session. The session will be example driven with live coding where we will build a web application from scratch.

Spring Web Flow Jumpstart
by Ben Hale

One of the new projects under the Spring umbrella is Spring Web Flow. Spring Web Flow is a framework for declaratively modeling web application user interactions. In this session, you'll get a quick primer on the business case for using Spring Web Flow and then we'll jump right in to a live coding session showing its use.

Developing Manageable Component-Based Systems with JMX and Spring
by Vladimir Vivien

JMX (or Java Management Extension) facilitates the manageability of components hosted in the VM. While JMX has been available to developers prior to the latest version of Java, it has now been added as a standard API to Java 5. This session provides techniques and best practices for developing your own managed components using JMX and the Spring Framework.

Spring/Hibernate Integration
by Scott Leberknight

Hibernate is a very popular Java transparent persistence framework, but you often need to create additional infrastructure to manage sessions, transactions, and lazy-loading in a clean and elegant manner.

Groovy: Greasing the Wheels of Java
by Scott Davis

This is the year of the dynamic scripting language. Ruby (and Rails) has won the hearts and minds of many independent software developers. JavaScript is experiencing a renaissance thanks to the wild success of AJAX and websites like Google Maps. And Groovy (JSR-241) brings the same level of excitement and "scripting goodness" to the Java platform.
