ApacheCon 2016

Domain driven design is hard, and the lack of agile modeling techniques in code, makes it tedious and even error-prone. The paradigm of composite oriented programming allows the team to focus on the models and not the mechanics of making it work.
This presentation will show how Composite Oriented Programming, using Apache Zest, can help developers get a clearer understanding of their own models, reduce the amount of code needed for a given implementation, and avoid boiler plate code. We will go through the basics of Apache Zest, and show how to build a real world Restful API using Apache Zest and Restlet.
Apache Zest is built on top of Java, currently compatible with Java 8, is modular, has no core dependencies and provides persistence, validation, layering/module enforcement, AOP, indexing/query, SPI for extensions, data migration support, JMX, and much much more.

I want to introduce you to my little cyborg. It's based on a Rapiro robot, but filled with an Arduino for controlling it's movement, an Intel Edison for higher brain functions and stuff like voice control, video object detection and much more. With all of it's different types sensors and actors this makes it a perfekt simulation of an IoT backend which I will use to demonstrate how easy it is to create a perfect looking and working frontend to your IoT system with Apache Flex. Because skinning is where Flex outperforms all the IoT systems I have come across. Ever wanted that control panel in your hall to look like one of those fancy Starship Enterprise panels? With Flex it's actually easy, and I'll show you how to do it. Also I'll demonstrate how Apache Flex BlazeDS is the perfect backend for your IoT system.
