Application Development and Delivery

Spring into the Cloud: Understanding Spring as a Cloud Application Development Platform
ID: ADD-02
Level: Beginner
This session will provide a brief technical overview of Spring, the most popular enterprise Java development framework, and then will focus on the best practices for Spring-based cloud application development. Using Spring's dependency injection and configuration controls, Spring-based applications can become portable from the developer desktop to the enterprise datacenter and into the cloud. Join the experts from SpringSource to learn how to ensure today's applications are ready for tomorrow's runtime environment.
Speaker: Adam Skogman



Developing and Deploying Custom Zimbra User Interface and 3rd Party Integrations
ID: ADD-05
Level: Beginner
Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) is a modern Web 2.0 platform that allows developers to easily extend product functionality and customize user experiences through "Zimlets" and open APIs. Zimlets are a framework for integrating ZCS with third party information systems and content as well as creating ""mash-up"" user interfaces and new application "tabs' for end-users. Zimlets and Zimbra APIs let developers solve the problems facing organizations such as adding management access to your preferred voicemail server or CRM, which is not possible in legacy platforms. The upside to creating a custom experience is quite large; in addition to increasing the overall satisfaction of end-users with simplified workflows, it is possible to integrate much of your backend IT systems and make email the heart of the business. During this session, we will provide reference examples, such as Salesforce.com, WebEx, and Facebook, and show how developers with a Javascript, HTML, CSS background plus Zimbra's SOAP and REST APIs can customize ZCS to create and deploy their own Zimlets quickly.
Speaker: Raja Rao

Exploring VMware APIs
ID: PPC-01
Level: Beginner
Developers have a broad set of options to integrate with VMware platforms to monitor and manage virtualization. This session will provide the overall direction of VMware APIs, describe opportunities for tighter integration with vSphere 4.1 and vCenter 4.1. This is a must-attend session for new product managers or developers to VMware platforms. For those familiar with VMware platforms, the session will provide a refresher course as well as a summary of enhancements to the APIs in the 4.1 release.

Best Practices in Using the vSphere Web Services SDK
ID: PPC-02
Level: Advanced
vSphere web services SDK provides the interfaces to programmatically manage VMware environments. This session explains the numerous possibilities for developing virtual infrastructure management solutions using the SDK. It also covers the most common pitfalls developers should avoid, and suggests alternatives to overcome certain limitations. The SDK application designers and developers will benefit greatly from the discussion of various usage scenarios. This session prefers familiarity with the SDK.
Speaker: Balaji Parimi



vSphere APIs for Performance Monitoring
ID: PPC-04
Level: Advanced
Building on the initial knowledge of vSphere APIs, learn about the features available to developers via vSphere Web Services APIs to collect performance statistics. We will also discuss the best practices in collecting performance data when using these APIs. This presentation is a must-attend for any developer that retrieves performance information from the vSphere platform in any large environment. While the content is advanced, developers new to the platform will find it useful as well.
Speaker: Balaji Parimi, Ravi Soundararajan



vCloud API - SDK to Improve Efficiency when Building Your Clouds
ID: PPC-14
Level: Beginner
vCloud APIs provide platform independent means to interfacing with vCloud. vCloud SDK brings these REST based APIs into developer's own environment be it based on Java. PHP or C#. These SDK allows developers to get started quickly with vCloud APIs by providing easy to use client side representations of vCloud resources in their familiar programming languages. They help hide the details of REST, HTTP and the XML based requests and responses. In This session we will introduce you to the Java and PHP SDK and provide the details about how the SDK makes programming to vCloud API easy using various samples.
Speaker: Prasad Pimplaskar



Managing ESXi Hosts
ID: PPC-21
Level: Intermediate
In this session we take a detailed look at ESXi, the small footprint hypervisor from VMware. We look at the benefits of ESXi over ESX, the new features that ESXi brings to the table, the various tools and programmatic APIs to manage ESXi. Along with managing ESXI we also look at the management of hardware health of the hosts running ESXi. This would include an introduction to our Hardware Health Monitoring infrastructure and protocols.
