January Speaker: Reza Rahman

Session Title: Java EE 6: A Community Update

Abstract:
This session is the latest update on the progress of Java EE 6 (JSR 317). The aim of the session is both to inform as well as encourage feedback.

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 It drops a handful of outdated APIs, breaks up the monolithic platform into profiles and aims to add extensibility points as well as adding useful enhancements like standardizing JNDI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.

A central goal of this session is open-ended discussion, so please do feel free to bring your questions, comments and ideas.

Bio:
Reza Rahman is an independent consultant specializing in Java EE with clients across the greater Philadelphia and New York metropolitan areas. 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 implementing EJB 3.1 Lite 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 financial, healthcare, telecommunications and publishing industries. Reza has been fortunate to have worked with EJB 2, Spring, EJB 3 and Seam.


Note: Announcements and unconference style short member presentations will now precede the lecture.

Also there will be a suggested donation to pay for pizza/refreshments at the beginning of the meeting unless of course a sponsor steps up to offer to sponsor refreshments. Please contact the organizers if interested in sponsoring. Please note earlier start time this month: 6:00pm sharp.

Previous Meetings:

November 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!

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.
