Treffen im Dezember - A Conversation with Sun's Java Technology Evangelists

Das Treffen im Dezember unserer JUG findet diesmal nicht wie gewohnt am 3ten Mittwoch im Monat statt. Wir bekommen "hohen" Besuch von zwei SUN-Mitarbeitern, die im Rahmen der Sun Tech Days in Deutschland sind und sich gern einmal Hamburg ansehen wollen ;o)

Von daher wird das Treffen vorgezogen. Es findet am Freitag, den 07.12.2007, um 20 Uhr statt. Auch diemal sind wir zu Gast bei der Lehmanns Buchhandlung.

Vortrag 1: Programming with JavaFX (Sridhar Reddy)

Der erste Block behandelt JavaFX. Nachfolgend eine kurze Übersicht:

JavaFX is a new family of Sun products based on Java technology and targeted at the high impact, rich content market.

JavaFX Script is a highly productive scripting language that enables content developers to create rich media and content for deployment on Java environments. JavaFX Script is a declarative, statically typed programming language. It has first-class functions, declarative syntax, list-comprehensions, and incremental dependency-based evaluation. It can make direct calls to Java APIs that are on the platform. Since JavaFX Script is statically typed, it has the same code structuring, reuse, and encapsulation features (such as packages, classes, inheritance, and separate compilation and deployment units) that make it possible to create and maintain very large programs using Java technology.

Vortrag 2: Java SE 6 Top 10 features (Joey Shen)

In unserem zweiten Block betrachten wir die Java SE 6 Top 10 Features ein wenig genauer und gehen auf Performanz und ähnliche Dinge ein. Nachfolgend ein Überblick über die Top 10 Features der Java SE 6.

Scripting

Web Services

Database (JDBC 4.0, Java DB)

More Desktop APIs

Monitoring and Management

Compiler Access

Pluggable Annotations

Desktop Deployment

Security

Quality, Compatibility, Stability

As the core of Java platform, Java SE 6 largely extends the landscope by integrating with scripting languages, web services, etc. It continues adding innovative features to the Java platform as well. This session will talk about the most important enhancements in Java SE 6.
