-Architecture and SOA: Examine approaches to architecture that perform and scale, including SOA, REST, JMS and OSGi.
-Frameworks: Dive deep into the latest features of Spring, Struts, Google Web Toolkit, Wicket and more frameworks.
-Cloud: Independent experts reveal innovative application architectures for development using cloud approaches.
-Language: Hear expert recommendations on the use of Java and complimentary languages in practicle, including Groovy, Scala and JRuby, and new Java language standards like JavaFX and EJB 3.1.
-Tools & Techniques: Dissect the latest tools to design and build high-quality applications, including Eclipse, Maven and Lucene.
And new for 2010, TheServerSide Presents TheClientSide, which is a unique mini-conference offering sessions geared specifically towards client-side development, covering Ajax, JSF, Flash/Flex, JavaFX and more to address the needs of advanced developers.
Keynote speakers include Dave Chappell, who is Chief Technologist for SOA at Oracle Corporation and creator of the ESB, as well as Bob Brewin, CTO of Sun Microsystems.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Google Research has proposed a training method that teaches large language models to approximate Bayesian reasoning by learning from the predictions of an optimal Bayesian system. The approach focuses on improving how models update beliefs as they receive new information during multi-step interactions.

Cloudflare recently announced support for ASPA (Autonomous System Provider Authorization). The new cryptographic standard helps make Internet routing safer by verifying the path data takes across networks to reach its destination and preventing traffic from traversing unreliable or untrusted networks.

DoorDash engineers built a simulation and evaluation flywheel to test large language model customer support chatbots at scale. The system generates multi-turn synthetic conversations using historical transcripts and backend mocks, evaluates outcomes with an LLM-as-judge framework, and enables rapid iteration on prompts, context, and system design before production deployment.

Alicia Collymore discusses the critical role of cultural alignment in building high-performing engineering teams. She explains how to move beyond "vibes" by identifying specific attributes in company values and assessing them during coding challenges and system design sessions. She shares practical advice on using interview debriefs, assessment criteria, and "culture add" to drive growth.
