I just received an advanced copy of JavaOne 2007 conference guide. The guide is by no means final. I still have not received my pass, I am actually finalizing approval from the old corporate ball and chain, my boss. In trying to present my case for going to JavaOne, I spent some time highlighting the presentations that I want to attend. Here is the run down of what looks interesting to me.<\/p>\n
JAVA SE Track<\/b> TS 2689 Effective Java Reloaded: This Time It’s for Real – If you haven’t read Effective Java, do so immediately. This book belongs next to the GoF Design Patterns book in every Java developers bookshelf. Last year Joshua gave a presentation with the similar name, Effective Java Reloaded<\/a>, that covered Java 5 constructs.<\/p>\n Desktop Track<\/b> TS 3420 Form Follows Function (F3) – I have been following along the great examples of F3 that Christopher Oliver has been releasing on his blog<\/a>. I can’t wait to get started on F3. F3 is a scripting language for the JVM with great 2D\/SVG graphics support.<\/p>\n TS 3569 Beans Binding – This session sounds like a data binding discussion dealing in specific with JSR 295: Beans Binding. Last year I went to a Desktop Patterns and Data Binding<\/a> that basically said that there is no great data binding framework.<\/p>\n TS 3834 Being Productive with Swing – Anything that helps me be more productive in Swing has my attention. You can do some great UI with Swing if you use it beyond just adding JButtons to a container. Have you ever thought of writing your own layout manager? That almost sounds like an interview question.<\/p>\n TS 3942 JSR 296: The Swing Application Framework – I am really looking forward to Hans Muller and Joshua Marinacci give a demo of the Swing Application Framework<\/a>.<\/p>\n Java EE Track<\/b> The Next Generation Web Track<\/b> TS 6375 jMaki: Web 2.0 App Building Made Easy – From the conference guide, “jMaki<\/a> is a lightweight client-server framework for creating JavaScript … applications using CSS layouts.”<\/p>\n TS 6503 JRuby, Rails, and Java EE – Another JRuby\/Rails session. This session will be presented by Tim Bray of Sun. Tim spoke at the RubyConf 2006<\/a> on I18N\/M17N and Unicode<\/a> and I thought he was a great speaker. I am looking forward to hear his presentation.<\/p>\n Open Source Track<\/b> TS 7361 Writing Java Platform Applications for Ubuntu – A panel of professionals from Ubuntu, Sun, and Canonical will present on releasing applications through and for Ubuntu. Ubuntu is currently one of the most popular Linux distributions.<\/p>\n TS 7557 OpenOffice.org Extensions with NetBeans Software – At my current position I have had write code, plugins, add-ins, scripts, etc. to integrate with Microsoft Office, including Outlook. It would be great if I could offer the same integration point for OpenOffice.<\/p>\n Tools and Languages Track<\/b> TS 9086 Advance JRuby: Metaprogramming Magic Unleashed – Charles Nutter, the force behind JRuby, will be presenting about JRuby metraprogramming.<\/p>\n TS 9370 JRuby on Rails: Agility for the Enterprise – Ruby on Rails will get into enterprise environments through JRuby. Thomas Enebo and Charles Nutter, both from Sun, will describe how this will happen.<\/p>\n TS 9516 Using jMaki in a Visual Development Environment – This sounds like another jMaki\/NetBeans technical session.<\/p>\n TS 9535 Comparing the Developer Experience of Java EE 5.0, Ruby on Rails, and Grails: Lessons Learned from Developing One Application – I haven’t seen much on Grails<\/a> in this advance conference guide. I hope there is more on Grails at JavaOne.<\/p>\n TS 9555 Quick and Easy Profiling with Integrated Tools – Every time I have had to profile<\/a> a Java application for memory leaks it has been in a tight schedule. I know need to be up to date with the latest tools and techniques<\/a> of Java profiling.<\/p>\n TS 9720 Advanced Groovy – I believe Rod Cope has given a Groovy presentation at JavaOne like three years in a row. Last year his talk was named something like Groovy = Java Tech + Ruby + Python for the JVM<\/a>.<\/p>\n From what I noticed from this advance guide it that a big theme at JavaOne 2007 will be JRuby. Another themes which will continue from last year will Java Persistence API, Web 2.0\/Ajax, and Groovy\/Grails.<\/p>\n Technorati Tags: ruby<\/a>, jruby<\/a>, ruby<\/a>, rails<\/a>, ajax<\/a>, grails<\/a>, javaone<\/a>, java<\/a>, jvm<\/a>, groovy<\/a>, scripting<\/a>, application<\/a>, framework<\/a>, jmaki<\/a>, javaone 2007<\/a>, 2007<\/a>, performance<\/a>, profiler<\/a>, hibernate<\/a>, persistence<\/a>, jpa<\/a>, swing<\/a>, ui<\/a>, netbeans<\/a>, closures<\/a>, oo<\/a>, openoffice<\/a>, com<\/a>, com scripting<\/a>, f3<\/a>, jee<\/a>, ee<\/a>, best practices<\/a>, data binding<\/a>, bean binding<\/a>, jsr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just received an advanced copy of JavaOne 2007 conference guide.
