Welcome to the NYC Java Study Groups JUG (Java User Group), a
http://Java.netWe are an independent vendor neutral professional association of Java developers who meet monthly collaborating on Java technologies for all levels of expertise. We feature expert speakers, study groups and networking.
We are the Java SIG (Special Interest Group) of the NYPC Users Group
This JUG has a forum at Yahoo Groups called nycjava_net
. For more info stop by a meeting.- NYC Java Study Groups JUG Meetings (Mon. and Thurs each week);
- General Meetings (first Thursday of month - joint meeting Monday Sept 15 (subject to change) )
November General meeting: Reza Rahman (Thursday Nov 6)
Topic: EJB 3.1: A Community Update
6:30pm 76 Ninth Avenue (between 15th/16th St), 13th floor - RSVP required - email garyrusso @ hotmail.com
Abstract:
This session explores the latest features proposed in EJB 3.1 (JSR 318). The aim of the session is both to inform as well as encourage feedback.
EJB 3.0 was a radical transformation geared towards usability. EJB 3.1 aims to go further down the path of simplicity while adding a number of useful features. In this session we will see all of the features that have been discussed in the expert group so far such as optional interfaces, singleton beans with concurrency control, annotation-driven cron-like scheduling, asynchronous processing support, easier deployment, as well as EJB lite. We will also take a look at the features still being discussed such as standardized JNDI naming as well as support for running EJB 3.1 in Java SE environments.
The session will leave time for open-ended discussion, so feel free to bring your thinking hat!
Bio:
Reza Rahman is the founder of Cognicellence, a small boutique Java EE consulting shop in the Baltimore-NYC corridor. He is the co-author of "EJB 3 in Action" from Manning Publishing. Reza is a member of the Java EE 6 and EJB 3.1 expert groups. He is a frequent speaker at seminars, conferences and Java user groups as well as an avid contributor to TheServerSide. He is currently working on the EJB 3.1 Lite implementation for the Spring framework and application platform. Reza has been working with Java EE since its inception in the mid-nineties. He has developed enterprise systems in the publishing, financial, telecommunications and manufacturing industries. Reza has been fortunate to have worked with EJB 2, Spring, EJB 3 and Seam.

Aug General Meeting: a special meeting: we are hosting the Semantic Web Meetup
'note: please rsvp at above meetup.com link - (if filled you can still show up bring id)
Topic: Clojure for the Semantic Web Exploration
Meetup Track: This Session is hands on and technical
Speakers: Rich Hickey and David Siegel
Rich Hickey will join forces with the New York Semantic Web Meetup to extend Clojure for the use in the development of Semantic Web applications.
http://clojure.org
Clojure is a dynamic programming language that targets the Java Virtual Machine. It is designed to be a general-purpose language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is a compiled language - it compiles directly to JVM bytecode, yet remains completely dynamic. Every feature supported by Clojure is supported at runtime. Clojure provides easy access to the Java frameworks, with optional type hints and type inference, to ensure that calls to Java can avoid reflection.
Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. When mutable state is needed, Clojure offers a software transactional memory system and reactive Agent system that ensure clean, correct, multithreaded designs.
Session prep:
Introduction to Clojure (from June's General Meeting below)
http://blip.tv/file/9...
June General Meeting:
Topic: Clojure for Java Programmers
Presentation now available online (with audio): (Thanks Rich!)
http://clojure.blip.tv/file/982823
Speaker: Rich Hickey
Clojure http://clojure.org
is a dynamic functional programming
language for the JVM. This talk will provide an overview of Clojure,
including a gentle introduction to its syntax for those with no prior
experience with Lisp, an overview of features, and a discussion of
Java integration. Also covered will be Clojure's approach to
functional programming, immutability, and concurrency and how they
help solve some of the problems faced by Java programmers using
threads and locks today.Bio:
Rich Hickey, the author of Clojure, is an independent software designer, consultant and application architect with over 20 years of experience in all facets of software development. Rich has worked on scheduling systems, broadcast automation, audio analysis and fingerprinting, database design, yield management, exit poll systems, and machine listening, in a variety of languages.
