Join Andy Hunt for a look at how the brain really works (hint: it's a dual-processor, shared bus design) and how to use the best tool for the job by learning to think differently about thinking.

Crowdsourcing is one of those ideas whose time never quite seems to come, thanks to the challenges associated with managing all those anonymous people. Not to mention the hassle of sorting out the diligent workers from the opportunists and slackers. Content tagging, validation, research are all monumental tasks that seem like a fit for crowdsourcing; yet each can erase any hope of an ROI thanks to both the cost of the workforce and the daunting prospect of managing the project.

In this session you'll learn how others, including Amazon, use crowdsourcing to solve these problems, while effectively managing the land mines described above. This talk will focus on trends in crowdsourcing including Amazon Mechanical Turk, which enables access to an on-demand internet-scale workforce. This web service is one of several offered by Amazon Web Services, which is related to but not directly part of Amazon.com.

Amazon.com spent well over a decade and billions of dollars creating an online technology presence of unprecedented scale and reliability. Many of the key learnings and best practices were rolled forward into a new business unit called Amazon Web Services, which delivers these benefits to software developers and IT practitioners as a set of foundational Web Services.

Next I'll talk about the ideal of radical visibility into code, visibility that allows us to /see/ what neither code nor children in trouble can ever explain:

• who did it
• what was going through their head to make that seem like a good idea

I'll use a modified web framework as an example and speak of applications to exploratory testing.

To close, I'll tie the two types of exhibitionism together, using the work of some wacky social theorists.

Almost all business applications need to report tabular data. This session will describe how to incorporate ExtJS?s rich data grids to present tabular data with sorting and paging capabilities. The session will present the design and implementation of Java-based server-side to provide data payload, sorting and pagination for the rich data grid.

Portals need to enforce security on all portlet-based Ajax calls. An appropriate design approach will be presented to facilitate ease of adding Ajax handlers and providing portlet-level security on all Ajax calls. The Ajax handler framework design will leverage Spring MVC framework.

In this session, we'll explore the benefits of ATDD and the ATDD process. We show to create tables - one way to describe ATDD tests and the Framework for Integrated Testing - one way to automatically execute those tables.
