EventingEventing Service UI
• Administration Console – Application used by internal Travelport employees for the configuration of eventing
• Importance of Eventing₋ Enterprise Service; satisfies needs of an entire organization₋ Tool for modeling events within Travelport₋ Presents data through user interface
• Components₋ Events₋ Producers₋ Consumers₋ Rules
Wesley, Isabella
So what is eventing? Eventing is an enterprise service that has the ability to satisfy the needs of an entire organization. In this case, that organization is Travelport. We use the eventing service internally within the company for the presentation and interaction of data, including events, producers, consumers, and rules. The graphic to the left is a snippit of the tabs seen on the usaer interface.
Advantages• All about bundling, efficiency• Runs on workstation• Runs in production• No modification needed• Self-provisioning• Quickly create new servers
Wesley, Isabella
To begin working on Travelport's eventing service, I first had to build my developer environment. The Eventing team uses Brownfield, which is all about bundling and efficiency. I transferred my team's git repository into eclipse. Using maven dependancies, tomcat server, and in some cases, Jenkins to deploy, my code was able to run smoothly and build quickly in addition to what already existed.
Project OverviewFront-end Development
• User Interface• Client side• JavaScript, Jquery & JQGrid
Back-end Development• Additional Support, “behind the scenes”• Server side• SQL, Java 1.8, REST API, Database Visualizer
Testing• Verify correct implementation of server-side methods and components• Check for intended response status; otherwise throw error• Jersey Test Framework, “JUnit”
Wesley, Isabella
I began working with front end development. In adding functions to the user interface, I programmed in Javascript and Jquery. I also gained experience with JQuery's grid plug in, JQ-Grid.
Wesley, Isabella
Upon discovering that the functions I implimented on the client side could be running a lot faster, I began adding additional support through back-end development. With the help of database visualizer, I was able to adjust the incoming data before it even touched the user interface.
Wesley, Isabella
Finally, I tested the code using J-Unit Jersey Test Framework to verify that my back-end development was working properly.
Wesley, Isabella
So this is Travelport's eventing platform console. I added the filtering functionalities that can be seen when you go from consumers to events, and back.
Experience & Takeaway
Technical• Learned how to build a full developer
environment and deploy • Explored front-end vs. back-end
programming• Practiced various languages• Participated in Agile methodology
Non-technical• Gained software industry knowledge• Performed in a professional team setting• Exercised planning, organization, and
communication skills• Enriched my personal “brand” and
networking routine• Had the opportunity to meet with many of
Travelport’s senior leaders
Wesley, Isabella
I had a great experience here at Travelport and I'm so glad that I came out to Denver for the opportunity. I gained both technical and non-technical knowledge throughout my 12 weeks here.
Wesley, Isabella
I learned so much in relation to my specific project, but I also now hold skill in programming languages that I've never worked with before. I can now say I have participated in agile methodology and by talking with many of the senior leaders, have a valuable understanding of it's importance.
Wesley, Isabella
As far as non-technical growth goes, I expanded what I know about planning, organizing and comunicating in the workplace, the software industry specifically. Through
