Java Posse #120 - JavaOne BoF Special

JavaOne BoF Special

A special from our BoF at JavaOne. Rough coverage of the news from JavaOne (or at least the big items), plus some industry news important enough to make it in. Mainly just having a good time and enjoying the fact that people can talk back for once.

If you can make it, please join us for the post JavaOne analysis on Tuesday May 15th at Verisign. You must register to join in the fun (otherwise Verisign won't let you in), but there will be beer, pizza and prizes including one SunSpot pack (3 sunspots) which is an awesome door prize (and about $600ish value as well). To find out more and register, please take a look at

Java Posse #111 - Roundup 07 Session - Whither Java?

Roundup 2007 Session - Whither Java?

Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com

Recorded at the Java Posse Roundup 2007, this session examines what's next for Java, but not necessarily in the "Beyond Java" sense of everything going Ruby. In fact, the discussion focuses more on the switch to a more functional view of programming, but within the confines of a practical application language (i.e. not one that requires you to do everything in a functional way). This session was convened by Joel Neely.

The Haskell functional programming language

Fibonacci in Haskell

Currying functions

Java Posse #109 - Roundup 07 Session - Forking Open Source Java

Roundup 2007 Session - Forking Open Source Java

Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com

This is one of a series of sessions recorded at the Java Posse Roundup conference, 2007. Audio in this series was recorded using a simple mic setup to record the whole room, so quality may not be as high as a normal "studio" recording. The sessions are being released in no particular order. While pains have been taken to remove any inappropriate material, there is a chance that some may have been missed, however this should not be common.

Final Information for the 100th Episode

As promised, here are the final details for tonight's (Jan 22nd, 2007) 100th episode which will be recorded live in front of a studio audience.

We will be recording at around 6.30pm, but it is recommended that you try and get to the meeting point by 6.15 - latecomers will find it hard to get into the complex.

This google maps link shows all of the important spots. Recommended parking location is off of Charleston Road (along the bottom of this picture). Hopefully you will find some spaces - at 6.15pm the car park should be clearing out a bit.

The place to meet is in between buildings 42 and 43 - shown in the top left of the maps link. A lady called Liz will be there to meet you and escort you in.

We are happy to announce that there will be complimentary refreshments, including beer, at this event :-). Learning from last time we didn't want to promise anything we couldn't deliver, so we left the announcement until the last minute.

Hope to see you there...

The Java Posse

This event is open to the public and will take place at 6.30pm on January 22nd 2007 in Tech Talk 42 (in Building 42).

Theme Music:
- Opening - "Java" the parody song Copyright 1997 Broken Records and Marjorie Music Publ. (BMI), written and performed by Loose Bruce Kerr of the Dr. Demento Show and Sun Microsystems attorney. Based on the WWI popular song, "Ja-da." Ukelele style on the recording taught to Bruce by his dad. Re-produced with kind permission from "Loose" Bruce Kerr - http://www.loosebrucekerr.com
- Closing - "The Outer Light" or "Inside the Light" (they haven't decided yet) by Butterflies and Zebras (Norm Howard, and Steve Northover - the SWT dude) - "I tuned my old acoustic to a C modal tuning that I like (CACDCE). I asked Norm for some east Indian sounds which he proceeded to make flawlessly, using a glass slide and his sunburst strat. Without warning, he launched into a rhythm pattern, using his delay to double up what he was playing (the delay is in time with the rhythm so it's there, but you don't notice it, so it's kind of ghostly). I took the solo, clean first with a TS9 for light distortion and then the wah, and finally clean again. Towards the end, I switch to rhythm (no delay) and Norm solos, using the same delay that he used for the rhythm. He's tasteful and heads for the stars during the fade out" - http://www.onmusic.com/nands

```
MenuItem menuItem=new MenuItem("Foo", new Command() {
    public void execute() {
        Window.alert("Foo was chosen");
    }
});
```
... to something like the following:
```
MenuItem menuItem=new MenuItem("Foo", Command() {

Java Posse #086 - Interview with Van Simmons, Part 3

Interview with Van Simmons about JINI and ComputeCycles - Part 3

Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com

We now have a google group for the Java Posse at http://groups.google.com/group/javaposse

Van is the leader of the ComputeCycles project. ComputeCycles is an open-source project which uses Jini, Glassfish and Groovy to build a secure, scalable, "on-the-fly" compute grid. In this interview he talks about the role Jini plays in that effort and why it's used at the core of the ComputeCycles project.

- Closing - "Africa (About Face)" by Butterflies and Zebras - Norm Howard and Steve Northover (Steve was interviewed about SWT recently)
  Comment from Steve Northover - If you check http://www.onmusic.com/nands (the slowest site in the world), some of the fractals and many of the mp3's I gave you are now available there. For "Africa (About Face)", my acoustic is tuned in this great EEEEBE tuning. Norm is playing his electric through his 100W Marshall stack clean. It's a straight forward song (something we don't do too much). I'm using a delay pedal and not much else. Bet you can't even hear it much. That's the interesting thing about guitar effects. When used tastefully, they become organic rather than "in your face". It's an art to sneak them in rather than just click them on and everyone goes, "Oh listen, he just clicked in the flanger".

Two ints and a Float are in a bar. They spot an attractive Double on her own.

The first int walks up to her. "Hey, baby", he says, "my VM or yours". She slaps him and he walks back dejected.

The second int walks over. "Hey, cute-stuff, can I cook your Beans for breakfast". After a
quick slapping, he too walks back.

The Float then ambles over casually: "Were those two primitive types bothering you?", he remarks.
"Yes. I'm so glad you're here", she says. "They just had no Class!"

Java Posse #065 - Interviews from Topcoder and Java One

Previously Un-Aired Interviews from Topcoder and Java One

Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com -

This is a pair of previously un-aired interviews. The first was recorded by Joe, Carl and Dick at TopCoder with Ari Balogh, Vice President of Engineering for Verisign Inc. It is a short but technically meaty interview. The second was a wrap-up of Java One with John and Melinda Weathers of NewEnergy Associates (co-workers of Dick) about their experiences at what was their first Java One.

The quality of both interviews is a product of the recording location - the first, while clear, has a certain amount of background noise, since it was recorded in the TopCoder arena. The second was recorded in a San Francisco hotel after Java One and the sounds of the San Francisco streets is quite prominent. Treat these as adding a little ambience to the interviews :-).

There is a Java meetup in London that Simon Brown is organizing - for details check his blog

AJAX Interviews

Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com -

Two Interviews about AJAX. The First is with Brett Taylor of Google about the just-announced red-pill project (also known as the Google Web Toolkit) and the second with Greg Murray of Sun, about their new AJAX tools and support announced recently. The interviews were both short and on a common subject, so we combined them. These were recorded at Java One 2006.

Java Posse #050 - Interview with Graeme Rocher of Grails

Interview with Graeme Rocher about Grails

Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com -

Graeme is one of the founders, and also the current project lead, of Grails (formerly Groovy on Rails), a high level, open source, web application framework built on coding by convention principles (like Ruby on Rails)

Again the sound quality of this interview is not as good as we would have liked. We had to fall back on the skype recording due to no fault of anyone involved - sometimes it just works out that way. However the speech is clear and the content (thanks to Graeme) is first rate.

Groovy - the language of Grails

http://groovy.codehaus.org/

Groovy features:

Groovy Markup for XML, DOM, ...
Groovy Path expression language
Groovlets for implementing Servlets easily in simple Groovy scripts
Ant Scripting
Groovy Categories allow you to add methods to classes with the "use" keyword
Groovy Template Engines which are pluggable, simple to use, integrate GPath and compile to bytecode
Groovy SQL for making SQL more Groovy
