JGridstart/2012 Collaborathon

In December 2012, there will be a jGridstart hacking day. Since the main developer is leaving, this is the main means of transferring knowledge to other people. Please feel free to contact me when you'd like to join.

Program

The idea is to give an in-depth presentation in the morning at Nikhef, and delve into the code together in the afternoon in the collaboratorium. Getting your hands a little dirty will help you to get to know jGridstart.

Presentation (morning)

Very much a work in progress program.

• Introduction
  • What is jGridstart, and what does it do? The user-perspective, which is what it's all about in the end.
  • Behind the scenes: what is happening that the user doesn't see? RA, CA, and all that.
  • Philosophy: never to forget
• Design overview
  • Modules
  • Dependencies
• Some glimpses in the code

• Tools and libraries
  • Maven
  • Eclipse
  • BouncyCastle and the JCA
  • ProGuard

• Closing off
  • Some statistics: what's the value?
  • Open ends & the future: dirt, unfinished work, grand ideas, bugs, and more
  • Conclusion
  • Read more at...

Collaborathon

As said, in the Collaboratorium, Amsterdam Science Park. Bring your laptop with a Java development kit, git, Maven and Eclipse. Dig into the code, look at bugs (and fix them!), ask questions, learn about Java development, and have fun.
