Technology Stacks
• Java• Microsoft .NET• PHP• Perl• Python • Ruby / Rails
Java
• Java = Programming Language• Java = Programming Platform• Languages: Java, Groovy, JRuby,
Scala, Rhino, Fan, …• Compatibility Mantra – Big
Emphasis on Standards
Java
• „Strategic“ Open Source• Sun plays a central role (but the
community could also work without them)
• Java Friends: Oracle, SAP, IBM, HP, Red Hat, …
• More Java Systems: Eclipse, Netbeans, Android
Java
• References: All Fortune 1000 Companies worldwide

Job statistics
Job statistics
User Interfaces / RIA
• Ajax, JavaScript• Flash, Flex• Silverlight• JavaFX
Ajax & JavaScript
• Runs (almost) everywhere• JavaScript is maturing these days• Frameworks, Libraries still not
mature• The „real“ big Internet players
love JavaScript
Flash, Flex
• Flash Runtime almost on every machine
• Mature technology• Designers love flash;
programmers hate it• Flash combined with Flex is a
real programming platform
Silverlight
• Microsofts new baby• Mature technology? (Silverlight 2.0)• Targets both: – designers („Expression“) – programmers („Visual Studio“)
• (Almost) platform independant (Firefox, Mac OS X)
• Impressive references: NBA, Olympics
JavaFX
• Sun Microsystems new baby• „Next Gen Java Applets“• Not mature yet (Previews these
days)• Targeting both: Designers and
Programmers
More technology stuff• Mashups– Ad hoc integration
• Web Services– Using the network– Amazon Web Services
• SOA – The heawy weight approach
• SaaS– Single Services or even application
platforms
Everything in the Web is based on
XML
Architecture
• Every technology needs to be architected
• Ad hoc applications:–No Flexibility–No Extensibility–No Scalability
Agility
• Communication between business people, designers, technologists is sometimes not easy
• Agile Processes–Extreme Programming–Scrum–Crystal–Feature Driven Development
Open Source
• Strategic vs. Grassroot• Freedom (Free beer vs. Freedom
of speech)• Intellectual Property• Wikinomics
