Presentations
Annotation Hammer
Annotation is an interesting feature in Java.
However, like any features, there are good uses and bad uses.
When should you use Annotation? This presentation will answer that question for you.
OSGi: A Well Kept Secret
In this presentation we will introduce OSGi and
discuss how it can help modularize and version
your enterprise Java applications.
Drooling with Groovy and Rules
Rule based programming allows us to develop applications using declarative rules. These can simplify development in applications where such rules based knowledge is used for decision making.
Java 6 Features, what's in it for you?
What benefit do new Java 6 features offer you. Are there issues with using these features.
The objective of this presentation is not simply to introduce you to the features, but to
the effective use of these as well.
Spring into Groovy
What do you get when you mix an agile, object-oriented, dynamic language with a lightweight, flexible, and extensible framework? You get a Groovier Spring. Spring allows you to develop using Groovy as much as Java. Groovy brings some neat concepts to the Java Platform that is hard to realize directly through the Java language. Using these capabilities can lead to elegant and easier Spring development.
