Two meetings in a month at JUG Milano

*** edited to add: please be aware that Jan 11 meeting has been cancelled ***

January 2007 is a special month at JUG Milano: we will have two guests in a week, and two very important guests: Dennis Reedy and Jonas Boner. Filippo Diotalevi just confirmed the two meetings:

1. On January 11, Dennis Reedy will present "Dynamic Services: Architecting for change". A quick introduction about the talk: "Developing applications which can be used in a dynamic environment presents challenges in the areas of scalability and handling growth. The presentation will review distributed architecture patterns and the inherent challenges of creating a dynamic service oriented architecture, as well as introduce Space Based Architecture principles built on a policy based infrastructure.". Dennis is VP Advanced Technology at GigaSpaces Technologies and he is the creator of the Rio framework.
2. On January 18, Jonas Bonér will present "Distributed Computing Made Easy: How To Build a POJO-based Data Grid". About the talk: "It is a very practical, "hands-on" session in which we will present
   how to build the Master/Worker pattern using standard JDK 1.5, and how to turn it into a distributed grid implementation by using Open Terracotta's* JVM-level clustering technology.". Jonas is a Senior Software Engineer at Terracotta, the founder of the AspectWerkz AOP framework and commiter of the AspectJ project.

Please look at the JUG Milano website for further information.

Yes, I know, two meetings in eight days can be a problem, but the talks are so interesting and the hosts so authoritative that I bet that guys around Milan will attend in a large number. ;-)
