Meeting Information:

Presentation:
=========

“JBoss Seam and the Red Hat Developer Studio” - JBoss Seam is a modern enterprise Java application framework, integrating the best practices learned from past frameworks, and innovating in areas where they have been deficient. Using JBoss Seam, developers are more productive as they leverage Seam’s powerful yet simple component model, state management facilities, presentation and business tier integration, and more. The Red Hat Developer Studio (RHDS) is a set of Eclipse-based tools that are pre-configured for JBoss Enterprise Middleware, offering significant time-savings and value to developers. A summary of JBoss Seam and RHDS features will be presented during this technical session, followed by a detailed demonstration of creating a Seam application using RHDS.

Presenter BIO:

“JSR 223: Scripting for the Java Platform”

Date: Tuesday, November 6th, 2007
Time: 7:00PM - 9:00PM EDT

Open Networking starts at 7 PM.

We will have giveaways such as T-Shirts, Pens, etc. as well as a raffle for a free license of JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Version 7.0.

Meeting Location:
Washtenaw Community College, WCC BE250
www.wccnet.org/search/roomlocator/

PRESENTATION:
===========

JSR 223: Scripting for the Java Platform: The Java Scripting API (JSR-223) consists of a script language independent framework that provides developers with the power to leverage the strengths of a scripting language (JavaScript, Ruby, Python, etc.) from within their Java applications. This presentation will focus on demonstrating how the Java Scripting API empowers Java developers to choose the best tool for a given task rather than having to work within the confines of a given language. Emphasis will be placed on the interface itself and the usage of third-party scripting engines to execute scripts rather than the intricacies of implementing a scripting engine.

Java SE: Towards easier development and deployment

Date: Tuesday, June 5th, 2007
Time: 6:30PM - 10:00PM EDT

We have planned a Q & A Period starting at around 9:15 PM, so come and “Ask the Java Evangelist” your questions!!

Please send an RSVP to:
rsvp@data-masters.com

Please note, we changed our meeting room since Friday!!

Meeting Location:
Washtenaw Community College, WCC ML 101

http://www.wccnet.edu/search/roomlocator/index.php?room=ML101&lago=Go

PRESENTATION:
===========

Java SE is on over 90% of desktops and Java ME is on over 90% of mobile phones.
Java is also making a big dent in the consumer space such as set top boxes, Blu
Ray Disc players and so on. Despite the ubiquity of Java technologies it would
take significant enhancements to ease Java deployment and be entrenched in the
consumer market.

This session starts with an introduction to GUI development with JavaFX Script, an object-oriented, declarative Java scripting language. JavaFX Script is a
statically typed language that allows good integrated development environment (IDE) support and compile-time error reporting and has type inference, declarative syntax, and automatic data binding with full support for 2-D graphics and standard Swing components as well as declarative animation.

JavaFX script will be followed with the features that are being explored to create a
more consumer-friendly JRE that eases deployment and installation. The features that
are being looked into will ease start-up time, provide a quick launch, on demand
installation and so on.

After attending this session attendees should be able to walk away with a good
understanding of where the Java SE platform is headed and how it should ease their
development and deployment concerns.
