20140826 - Olaf Kock - Ridiculously Small Plugins

Developing Ridiculously Small Plugins

When: 26 August 2014 @ 1400 GMT

Liferay plugins don't have to be big. In this session, you'll build a Ridiculously Small Plugin that can be customized and published to the Liferay Marketplace in no time!

What is a Ridiculously Small Plugin? It's a plugin that you estimate to be able to build in less than one hour. Of course, it's a developer estimation, so you'll have to round that up to a day, sans documentation and making it fit for deployment and unforeseen complications.

Pre-Session Setup and Needed Materials

Liferay 6.2 deployed and ready to go.
A developer environment for building plugins for said deployment.

Automated testing of Liferay plugins with Arquillian

When: 18 November 2014 @ 1500 GMT

Led by: Carlos Sierra

Testing Liferay plugins used not to be an easy task. In this talk we will go through the current and future arquillian integrations to test Liferay plugins using Arquillian. Arquillian is an innovative and highly extensible testing platform for the JVM that enables developers to easily create automated integration, functional and acceptance tests for Java middleware.

Pre-Session Setup and Needed Materials

Basic setup requirements before the session:

A running Liferay 6.2 installation (with no modifications needed)
A development environment (like Liferay IDE) to be able to create and deploy portlets
