| \\ |
| __October General Meeting / NYC Java Meetup__\\ |
| \\ |
| A very special guest speaker, coming all the way from the island of Crete, yes |
| none other than Dr Heinz Kabutz will make a special appearance! This renown |
| master Java specialist gave us an excellent presentation on concurrency two years ago and this time will speak on the intricacies of reflection. |
| In addition to his appearance at our group, he will also offer a Java Specialist |
| Master Course on November 10-13 as part of Sun's Extreme Learning Workshop |
| series here in NYC!\\ |
| \\ |
| Speaker: Dr Heinz Kabutz\\ |
| \\ |
| Topic: "Reflection Madness"\\ |
| \\ |
| "In this presentation, we will look at some advanced uses of reflection to |
| delegate method calls automatically, to determine where we are being called from |
| and to create new enum values dynamically for unit test purposes, including |
| modifying the switch statements on-the-fly. We will look at how we can use the |
| stack information to determine the class type in a static context. We will |
| demonstrate how Externalizable allows the private state of an object to be read |
| and then modified. Lastly we will demonstrate how we can construct new objects |
| without calling any of the available constructors. This talk will be aimed at |
| the advanced Java specialist who does not shy away from reflection code. Topics |
| from the Java Specialists Newsletter and related research."\\ |
| \\ |
| Dr. Heinz Kabutz is best known as the creator of the Java Specialists' |
| Newsletter, targeted to expert Java Developers. Since its inception in November |
| 2000 the newsletter has grown to include an audience of more than 50,000 |
| programmers in 120 countries and become one of the most widely distributed, |
| independent Java Newsletters in the world. Dr. Kabutz uses the experience gained |
| "in the field" to write articles in his publication and he was chosen as a Sun |
| Java Champion.\\ |
| \\ |
| A special thanks to Sun Microsystems for hosting location and refreshments!\\ |
| \\ |
| Please note that this month's NYC Java Meetup is on the third Wednesday (not |

| And about the master course on November 10-13 as Dr Heinz would |
| describe it: "This course embodies my Java knowledge and experience gained |
| publishing 170 advanced Java newsletters, teaching hundreds of seminars and |
| writing hundreds of thousands of lines of Java code."\\ |

| Java EE 6 brings a number of profound changes to the platform. It drops a handful of outdated APIs, breaks up the monolithic platform into profiles and aims to add extensibility points as well as adding useful enhancements like standardizing JNDI naming. We will explore all of these changes in this session. We will also briefly overview some of the most important JSRs being developed under the Java EE 6 umbrella such as JSF 2.0, WebBeans, EJB 3.1, JPA 2.0, JAX-RS and Servlet 3.0. \\ |

| 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.\\ |

| 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.\\ |
