Roma Framework and Sun Microsystems - The
AssetData's partners
ROMULUS
Roma is an Open
Source project to simplify the development of Java
applications. The approach is totally DDD,
let's think to your application domain
and Roma will think to all the rest: persistence (database),
presentation (HTML + Ajax), logging, user management, sessions,
scheduler, workflow, etc.
Asset Data is
member of Sun Partner Advantage program.
JUG Roma September 2011

On May 23rd 2011 from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm, in Asset Data office, there will be a mini-course about git and github for users that already know CVS or Subversion. The mini-course is totally FREE. Maximum 20 attendees.
To subscribe send an email to info -at- assetdata.it waiting the confirmation.
Free event at Asset Data headquarters: Distributed computing using Scala and GridGain
Asset Data will host the JUG event of October: "Distributed computing using Scala and GridGain". The event will be in English language. Below the abstract:
Session Description
The topic of this presentation is about using Scala programming language with GridGain framework to provide a simple and productive cloud computing platform.
Scala is a hybrid function and object-oriented language that is rapidly gaining traction in becoming the next Java in JVM-based language evolution. GridGain is one of the most rapidly growing cloud development platforms for JVM-based languages.
2/3 of the presentation will be devoted to live coding demonstration of writing basic MapReduce application in Scala using GridGain middleware. All coding during demonstration will be done live. Overview of grid and cloud computing concepts as well as notion of Native Cloud Applications will be discussed. Short intro into Scala language will also be provided.
What problems/challenges will an attendee learn to solve by attending your session?
Attendee will learn how to use Scala one of the most exciting JVM-based languages to quickly and efficiently build cloud-enabled applications. They will also learn on how to quickly build simple MapReduce application using GridGain framework.
What will attendees learn by attending your session?
Attendees will learn:
How to build and run simple Scala MapReduce application
How to cloud-enable the existing Scala code using GridGain to run it on the cloud
Who should attend your session?
Java developers with a proficient level of Java expertise
Scala developers of all levels
Developers interested in practical aspects of cloud computing
What basics should attendees know before attending your session?
Working knowledge of Java
Basic understanding of distributed programming concepts
No Scala or cloud computing experience is required
About 1/3 of the presentation will be devoted to overview of grid and cloud computing as well as crash-course into Scala programming language. 2/3 of the presentation will be devoted to a live, hands-on coding demonstration of building simple MapReduce applications in Scala using GridGain.
Asset Data will host the next JUG Roma meeting. The appointment is for September 23rd 2010 6:00 pm in Asset Data o live here.
NoSQL Summer event in streaming
The first NoSQL Summer meeting could be followed live in streaming (in Italian language only).
The appointment is for tomorrow June 15th 2010 6:30 pm in Asset Data o live here.
On June 15th 2010 Asset Data will host the event "A NoSQL summer". The event will be organized inside the monthly appointment of the JUG Roma. NoSQL summer are local reading groups organized in all the world.
Between the attendees many students and IT specialists interested on the fast developing of Web Applications following the DDD approach, the Meta Framework philosophy and obviously Roma. During the "hands-on" session all the attendees followed Luca Garulli step by step on the building of a simple social application.
Although Asset Data is a commercial company spends a lot of time in research and free dissemination of state-of-the-art Open Source technologies.
Saturday November 21st 2009: Romulus Hackaton at Asset Data's headquarter
Next saturday in the Asset Data's headquarter in Rome, Italy, there will be a Hackathonevent focused on Romulus to boost up the implementation and fixing of all the pending tasks without other distractions. The groups are:
It will be a full day immersion in Romulus, without exceptions. The invitation is extended also to everybody like to participate for the first time as:
code-writer,
test-writer
doc-writer
To signup: romaframework -at- assetdata.it.
We're preparing a new Workshop in Rome
Asset Data si preparing a FREE technical workshop about the Romulus technologies. The workshop will be in Rome on December 2009. The event aims to envolve the Italian developers to discover Romulus and innovative techniques to develop applications.
Agenda (in draft yet):
9.30 - 10.15: Presentation of the Romulus consortium [Talk in italian]
10.15 - 10.45: Introduction to Roma Meta Framework [Talk in italian]
10.45 - 11.00: Coffe break
11.00 - 13.00: Hands-on session: creation of a Twitter like application from ground using the DDD approach and Roma Meta Framework. In this session the Asset's guys between the folks will help the partecipants for installation problems and/or compilation troubles. This will be a practical session where all the partecipants can download and install all the necessary to begin with Roma Meta Framework and follow step-by-step the speaker [Talk in italian]
14.30 - 15.00: Mashup of the Social Network's data with Google Maps, Flickr and Twitter [Talk in english by GESFOR company]
15.00 - 15.30: Exporting data in Semantic format (Semantic Web). Let data accessible to a semantic search engine making queries like: "give me all the people living in Rome with at least 3 friends living outside his city" [Talk in english by National University of Ireland Galway - Digital Enterprise Research Institute]
15.30 - 16.00: Exporting of services and usage inside an ESB (Atom and Web Services) [Talk in italian by Imola]
16.00 - 16.30: Quick look to the other technologies integrated in Roma [Talk in italian]
16.30 - 16.45: Conclusions [Talk in italian]

Romulus meeting in Rome
On January 22nd and 23rd 2009 the Romulus consortium came to Rome to get the point about the first year of research and to consolidate the planned activities for the current year. A lot of news since the last meeting in Galway, Ireland.
Asset Data presented the news about Roma Meta Framework version 1.1.1 released just few hours before the event.
Moreover Asset Data has presented for the first time the CorneliusProject Management Open Source software. This project was born in Asset Data about 6 months ago and now it's the management tool of the entire Asset Management group.
Asset Data gets into the Romulus consortium
Asset Data gets into the Romulus consortium. Romulus is a project partially financed by European Commission. Its main goal is about research on novel methods for increasing productivity and reliability of web software development, in particularly, focused on Java web development.
On Friday June 15th 2007 there will be the first AssetData Go-Kart contest, where all employees and consultants of Asset Data and Asset Management group will challenge on the road.
We think a little bit of sane competition on the road would improve also the reflexes on writing down code :-)
