My First Blog - Satyajit Tripathi: Here I start blogging

Novelties of Java EE 6 is in the improved ease of development, remodeled web services, and platform simplicity with introduction of profiles. GlassFish V3 is the first fully compliant Java EE 6 Enterprise Server.

Evolution of Java Platform Enterprise Edition since the year 1998 resulted in a more robust, scalable, highly performing, and extensible platform. GlassFish V3 Enterprise Server is built on modular OSGi Standard, with its MicroKernel HK2 reducing the startup time while providing the flexibility to extend the services at Runtime. GlassFish is now also embeddable.

My Presentation : A Technical Overview.

As a lead performance engineer with wide exposure to multiple applications in various industry domains, and working on Solaris10 platform for years. I believe, Solaris^TM DTrace is one of the coolest innovations that could have ever happened in the Operating System world. DTrace was designed and implemented at Sun Microsystems by Bryan Cantrill, Adam Leventhal and Mike Shapiro.

DTrace is a comprehensive dynamic tracing framework created for troubleshooting kernel and application problems on production systems in real time. DTrace was developed for Solaris and released under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL). Other OS communities, after realizing the high potential and worthiness, have initiated projects to make DTrace available on respective operating systems.

DTrace can be used to get a global overview of a running system, such as the amount of memory, CPU time, filesystem and network resources used by the active processes. It can also provide much more fine-grained information, such as a log of the arguments with which a specific function is being called, or a list of the processes accessing a specific file. DTrace is Programmable, Flexible, Robust, Safe and Easy-to-Learn-and-Use. Possibilities are Endless !

My Presentation: Solaris^TM DTrace-Simplified.pdf

Date: 31 May - 3 June, 2009
Venue: Berjaya Times Square Hotel & Convention Center, Kuala Lumpur.

The post is to share my exposure to MSC Malaysia Open Source Conference (OSCONF) 2009 participation, and the opportunity to meet the numerous young enthusiastic minds of the open source community. I was tasked to present on OpenSolaris, Introduction to some of its advanced technologies and coolest features on the Hackathon Day Install Fest.

I had promised the audience to post my presentation slides and other references. I am happy to add those here for everyones benefit. Please drop me a comment through my blog or if you would like to network. OpenSolaris Presentations Introduction Advanced Technologies and Practice Workshop  My Personal Album Pictures     Memories of Malaysia "Truly Asia"

The event was one of its kind with many open source evangelists from around the world. Organized by MSC Malaysia in cooperation with the Malaysian Administrative Modernization and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU). OSCONF was an International forum for sharing and exchanging ideas on technical advancements, applications, development and business cases on open source, and its positive impact in meeting challenges of the current economic climate. Four crucial stakeholders comprise of government, businesses, developers and community in envisioning open source's contribution to the IT industry and socio-economy environment.

If you are ever wondering what is NetBeans, its really the confluence of world's best 'Three'

1. A very popular IDE (Integrated Development Environment), which is open source
2. One of the richest Platform, comprised of enormous set of Module and Plugins
3. A large Thriving Community of Subscribers, and growing by the day
   

NetBeans 6.1 IDE is completely developed on Java technology which is known for its portability and interoperability. NetBeans 6.1 is the "The Only IDE You Need!" to develop applications in almost any programming language of your expertise. What more if I say, its also now available on operating system platform of your choice, Sun-OS Solaris10, OpenSolaris, Microsoft Windows, various Linux distributions, Mac OS Intel. Moreover you may choose to build and manage your entire SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle) within this single most familiar NetBeans 6.1 IDE.

The history of NetBeans started in the year 1996 with few University students at Prague as their academic project. In the year 2000, Sun Microsystems decided to sponsor the project and also made it open source at www.netbeans.org domain. Today's one of the richest NetBeans Platform was born in the year 2001. The Platform comprises of extensive Packages and APIs those can be extended to rapidly build your Rich Client Applications without the effort of reinventing the wheel. In 2006 the NetBeans 5.0 was launched with a comprehensive Module development support. The recent NetBeans 6.x brought about new enhancements in Platform development like SWING GUI Builder (formerly known as Matisse project) among multitude of new other features.

Here are two slide sets which I created to talk about 1). NetBeans 6.1 IDE (preso) and 2). NetBeans Platform (preso) development. I have also used few proofs of my photography skills in the slides to express myself.

Enjoy !

My Introduction : A Computer Engineer with 12+ years of industry experience. Practicing Project Management in Sun Microsystems. My expertise are in the area of Java/ Java EE technology, Solaris operating system, and database technologies. Some of my contributions externally available are FUSE port on OpenSolaris, LRWP implementation in Java, and more in the pipeline.

What I do : I work for a worldwide organization, within Sun Microsystems, called ISV Engineering. I work with Independent Software Vendors (ISV) to help them adopt critical Sun technologies. The key activities involves Evangelising technology, Porting, Integration, Architecture review, Performance engineering, etc.

If you are an ISV and haven't yet connected with Sun Microsystems, sign-up through SPA Program. The program brings multiple benefits to Sun Partners. Being patrons of Sun Microsystems, partners can also request for Sun logo to associate their products and take benefits of market leading Brand value.

Stay tuned to the blog as I plan to share my experiences on various technologies and how to get started (if you haven't yet done so) or some of the Advance topics.
