Jan is an enthusiastic Java and Scala programmer with a long history of large and successful systems.
Jan has used the Spring Framework from its earliest versions and then shared his experience with the framework itself and with writing elegant Spring code in Pro Spring and Pro Spring 2.5; he is an expert in most projects in the Spring Portfolio.
Alongside the Spring Framework and Java, Jan has extensive experience in functional and strongly typed programming in Scala. He is the author of Specs2 Spring and Akka Patterns projects which aim to give boost to Java programmers who want to try out Scala.
Jan also shares his expertise and passion for software as the chief editor of the Open Source Journal
Jan will show how to use RabbitMQ to connect components on different platforms. After a few introductory slides explaining the main concepts, the rest of the talk will be live code. The coding will begin by showing Spring Integration code to connect to RabbitMQ to send and receive messages--think byte[] values back and forth to start with. Jan will then show the real power of RabbitMQ by replacing the RPC server component by native code in C++: we will write image processing component. To make matters even better--faster--we will then use CUDA to perform the image processing. Come to Jan's talk and demo if you want to find out how to use RabbitMQ in the core of your application, especially if your application needs to tie together code on completely different platforms and if it performs heavy number crunching or image processing. You do not need to have deep knowledge of Spring Integration, AMQP or OpenCV, …; all that you will need is your inner geek.
