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
- Scala (with functional programming features)
- Functional Programming from Wikipedia
- Fortress

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.
Links of interest for this session:
- James Gosling's Transcendental Meditations
- The other side of the story - a thread on Java.net
- The Kitchen Sink Project on Java.net
- Cleaning up the old deprecated method calls

Just a quick note to say that all of the sessions were recorded from the Roundup and will be released soon as podcasts. I am still working through the details of how to release them (bandwidth being the major consideration, and also not saturating the regular podcast channel - it is likely there will be a second channel just for the roundup sessions). Links and notes will accompany the episodes.
The quality is perfectly audible for the sessions but will not be as good as regular Posse episodes - rather than encumber people with microphones and speaking orders, the recorders were just placed in the middle of the room to pick up whatever was said (plus some ambient noise).
Anyway - rest assured that every session we recorded will go out as a podcast and we have no interest in holding them back. Any delay will be due to a combination of available bandwidth and my time in processing the audio to enhance the quality as much as possible.
Thanks
Dick
