Previous NYC Java Meetup - a joint meeting with NYC-GTUG on Thursday May 13 - please RSVP at http://meetup.com/nycjava
Intro Speaker: Timothy Fagan ongoing series on Java Best Practices will resume in June!
Featured Speaker: (remotely from CA) Stephen Ng and Noel Yap
Topic: Android Development and Testing: an unauthorized guide to some unorthodox techniques.
The primary development language for Android is Java, which means you get to write mobile apps in a familiar language with great IDE support. But because Android runs on a custom (Dalvik) VM, writing tests that run quickly and locally can be a challenge. This talk will focus on three experimental techniques for unit and integration testing:
- Using PowerMock to enable unit testing on the Java VM
- Using Roboguice to facilitate dependency injection
- Using a sqlite3 wrapper to enable sql testing
Stephen Ng is a Software Engineer in Test at Google, where his day job has nothing to do with Android development. He is the author of a popular open source Android application, GeoBeagle, which is coded using the techniques described. He is a graduate of M.I.T.

March NYCJava Java Meetup - Tues March 30 at Oracle (Sun Microsystems) - RSVP at http://meetup.com/nycjava
We have a special guest speaker for this coming Tuesday's March Java Meetup: Bjorn Freeman-Benson, formerly CTO of Eclipse and now VP Development of NewRelic. A special thanks to Mitch Sonies for arranging this!
Agile All The Way Down
You are an agile Java developer and you work in an agile shop, but are you agile all the way through deployment and production? You are using a full complement of profiling, testing and load generation tools for your Java app, but we all know that even with the most rigorous pre-deployment QA, "issues" will sneak through. To catch these, all serious apps use production monitoring of one kind or another. The ah-ha moment comes when we realize that we can use that same production monitoring to increase our agility: we can shorten the pre-production testing cycles and push new iterations into production with minimal testing. I'll talk about how we've done this, and how our customers have done this, and how other great engineering projects in history have done this. With real life examples and stories of how we've become more agile, I hope to enthuse you to become "agile all the way down".
Bjorn Freeman-Benson:
After five years at the Eclipse Foundation working with committer community, Bjorn Freeman-Benson is now part of the engineering team at New Relic. A software language aficionado with experience in open source, closed source, big companies and small companies (Eclipse/Java, Amazon/Perl, Rational/C#, Gemstone/Smalltalk, OTI/Smalltalk, ...), he has a variety of war stories, many of them interesting. He has an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Washington, and is happy to talk at length about his passion for orienteering and/or his love of flying and electric cars.

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 the secrets of 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.

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.

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.
