Wednesday's Java.net Community JavaOne Events

Posted by editor on June 3, 2009 at 1:51 AM PDT

On Wednesday, Day 2 of JavaOne 2009, the java.net community has an even busier schedule of events than Tuesday's. Java.net community members will be presenting sessions at JavaOne and ancillary events, including Birds of a Feather (BOF) events in the late afternoon and evening. In the java.net booth itself, Community Corner 2009 is in full swing, with guests stopping by and presenting mini-talks, giving demos, or recording podcasts from 10:00 AM through 4:30 PM.

JavaOne sessions, BOFs, etc.

First, the java.net community events that will be happening beyond the java.net booth:

  • 9:45 AM, Jesse Glick, Kohsuke Kawaguchi: TS-5301: Continuous Integration in the Cloud with Hudson
  • 2:50 PM, Frank Kieviet: TS-5123 SOA at Enterprise Scale: Solving Real Challenges with GlassFish ESB
  • 5:00 PM, Paul Sterk: GlassFish Web 2.0 and Scripting Demo (at the "Glassfish Sneak Peek at Java EE 6 Ancillary Event," St Regis Hotel Gallery I Ballroom, 125 3rd Street, San Francisco)
  • 6:45 PM, Roger Brinkley, Terrence Barr: BOF-6731: Mobile and Embedded Lightning Talks
  • 7:45 PM, OpenESB Team: BOF-5004 OSGi and the Enterprise Service Bus: Friend or Foe?
  • 7:45 PM, Kohsuke Kawaguchi: BOF-5105: Hudson Community Meet-Up

For a list of the JavaOne sessions and BOFs that will feature java.net community members throughout the conference, visit my Java.net Community JavaOne Week Presentations Schedule. If you're presenting at JavaOne, and you're a java.net community member, and you don't see your session or BOF on my schedule, let me know, and I'll add your event.

Java.net Community Corner events

Wednesday's java.net Community Corner activities include visits by members of the java.net community, and by the broader Java community, including the JavaFX team and educator Paul Deitel. All of the Community Corner events will be available in podcast form, which will ultimately be available online.

Between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, the following community members will be visiting to record a podcast in our semi-soundproof booth. Before and after the podcasts, you may be able to catch them for some questions if you're in the java.net booth area at that time. Here's who's visiting, and when:

  • 10:00 AM, Maxim Zakharenkov (Desktop, SwingExplorer project): Debugging a Swing application is not always easy, because Swing is a visual toolkit and, in many cases, you cannot just write an automated test that checks whether your user interface looks good, all components are of the right sizes, all necessary information is visible, and painting is done correctly. Fortunately there is a Swing Explorer tool which can make your life a lot easier.
  • 11:00 AM, Matt Stine (JUGs): JUG Leadership: Lessons Learned
  • 11:30 AM, Clark Richey (java.net): Learn how you can now search (and analyze!) in a unified way the roughly one million emails gathered across the thousands of java.net lists over the years. Learn how to take full advantage of this tremendous capability either from the search embedded in Java.net or from MarkMail.org. Additionally, you will learn how to create a Google Gadget that allows you access to this search capability from any web page that supports Google Gadgets.
  • 12:30, Toni Epple, Fabiane Nardon, Sven Reimers (JavaTools, SQE Project)
  • 1:30 PM, Dragutin Petkovic (Education, Distributed Collaboration project): In this podcast we present a synopsis of a Global Software (SW) Engineering class based on several years of experience of teaching jointly at San Francisco State University (SFSU), the University of Applied Sciences, Fulda University, Germany, and recently with Florida Atlantic University (FAU). This class uses numerous Free and Open Source Software tools and teaches FOSS development techniques.

Between 2:00 and 4:30 PM, the following teams/people will be presentating in the open area of the java.net booth:

  • 2:00 PM, JavaFX team Q&A
  • 3:00 PM, Paul Dietel (Education): The ATM Object-Oriented Design and Implementation Case Study in Java How to Program, 8/e; A key concept in object-oriented programming is the interactions among objects. Most programming textbooks show code examples that create and use one or two objects to demonstrate specific features of the language. In addition to small examples like these, our textbook Java How to Program, 8/e (published March 2009) presents an object-oriented design/UML 2 automated teller machine (ATM) case study and its complete code implementation. This ATM case study is a nice business example that students can relate to. Students study the interactions of many objects that provide the functionality of a substantial system. The case study helps students tie together the object-oriented concepts they learn. In this presentation, Paul Deitel will overview the two-chapter case study and discuss his experiences teaching it. Each attendee will receive a copy of the case study.
  • 4:00 PM, Bruce Boyes, Ian Utting (Education): Greenfoot and Robotics for Educators

Come to the java.net booth (in the left corner of the Pavilion as you walk into the main entrance) if you'd like to meet the podcast guests or attend one of the live sessions.

Recent spotlighted JavaOne news:

JavaOne begins!: James Gosling has arrived at Moscone in San Francisco, CA for JavaOne week: "JavaOne is finally beginning! Getting ready for this one has been an incredible amount of work for everyone involved. The lineup of sessions is superb. I had a *really* hard time picking the Duke's choice winners (they all deserved to win). The engineering teams have been doing grand acts of heroism to get a pile of software releases ready. The demos have come together beautifully. Some are a little too close to the bleeding edge..."

The latest JavaOne-related java.net Weblogs include:

Cay Horstmann, Java One 2009 Day 0: Today is day 0 of Java One, AKA "Community One," with a focus on open source and community projects. With the economy being what it is, and Java One stretching the definition of "early bird" specials past the breaking point (the discount was good until today) I was fearing for the worst, but there definitely were crowds today. Here are some of my impressions from today.

Coverage of the Forums will return next week, after JavaOne.

There is no java.net Poll during JavaOne week. There will be a new poll next week.

Our Feature Articles include Gary Benson's just published Zero and Shark: a Zero-Assembly Port of OpenJDK, which tells the interesting story of how the Java group at Red Hat developed a cross-platform OpenJDK port; and Protect Your Legacy Code Investment with JNA, by Stephen B. Morris, which introduces Java Native Access (JNA) and demonstrates how it can be used to facilitate interaction between Java programs an native libraries, for example Windows DLLs.

The latest Java Mobility Podcast is Java Mobility Podcast 79: JavaOne 2009 Preview, in which JRoger Brinkley and Terrence Barr preview JavaOne 2009 for mobile, media and embedded developers.
