Dev.Live Sessions 2016
Join Liferay developers and IT professionals at the Dev. Live Sessions in London. This is the best opportunity to meet Liferay experts from around the globe and gain valuable knowledge of current hot topics. There will also be plenty of time for sharing and networking!
The event will take place one day before the Liferay Digital Solutions Forum, the biggest Liferay event in the UK, which brings together customer case studies, a roadmap and much more.
Agenda:
10:00 - Registration
10:30 - Welcome and Introduction
10:45 - Getting Used to the API - Olaf Kock, Training Manager, Liferay
Liferay has a powerful API, but the size of it can be overwhelming. Follow Olaf on a tour into the API - see what's necessary to remote-control Liferay and use the features you can easily reach on the UI with code.
11:30 - Controlling Access to Web Form Elements Based on User Roles and Dynamic Business Rules - Femi Ajayi, Chief Solution Architect, Digirati
There are situations where different parts of a web form should be made visible to different types of users based on their roles, user attributes, and the business rules that are defined at runtime or through a business process. This presentation will walk through a solution for this requirement that has been implemented for the NHS by Digirati using Liferay, and how we aim to improve the implemented solution using semantic annotations.
12:15 - Lunch
13:15 - OSGi Fundamentals - Milen Dyankov, Senior Consultant, Liferay
Introduction to fundamental OSGi concepts! The goal is to help you understand how bundles/modules, packages and (micro)services work together. Learn how to deal with dependencies, requirements, capabilities and service discovery... And finally how all this fits into Liferay DXP.
14:00 - Extending Audience Targeting with OSGi Modules - Matt Fulford, CTO, PFIKS
Audience Targeting in Liferay DXP is already pretty awesome out of the box... but we want more! In this session, we will look at some of the ways to make it even better through development of custom OSGi modules.
14:45 - Networking Break
15:00 - Introducing WeDeploy by Liferay: Overcoming Infrastructure Challenges in Scalable Applications - Eduardo Lundgren, Sofware Engineer, Liferay
When building a scalable application in the cloud there are many things you need to consider and be prepared for. Things like storing and consuming data securely, distributing incoming traffic, detecting and diagnosing errors, and so on. WeDeploy is a new Liferay initiative that helps you forget about those infrastructures challenges so you can dedicate your time to what really matters: building great apps. Join us in this talk to see how you can leverage the power of WeDeploy.
