Agenda: 

10:00 ** Registrations **

10:30 - Welcome and Intro

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, (micro)services work together. How to deal with dependencies, requirements, capabilities, service discovery... And finally how all this fits into Liferay DXP.

14:00 - Extending Audience Targeting with OSGi modules - PFIKS

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.
