As part of the evolution of the CONNECT Code-A-Thons to address Community feedback, the Miami event began with a plenary session that included presentations about the latest developments in the CONNECT code and the future of the CONNECT architecture.
This was a coding event, so developers were ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work! The event was a hands-on working session where attendees and the CONNECT development team had the chance to collaborate, share ideas and best practices.
Participants had the opportunity to contribute to the CONNECT project through bug fixes, code contributions, improved documentation, and by contributing other innovations. Topics were listed on the forums and encouraged discussions prior to the Code-A-Thon.
Topics worked on included:
- CONNECT Platform Neutrality
- Test Harness, Performance Metrics and Benchmarking
- Automated Install, Setup and Testing
- Audit Log Viewer
- EJB vs. POJO Web Services
- Bug Fixes
- Security Controls
- Generic File Transfer
- Universal Client
