I’m speaking at the ACT Oracle User Group conference next week on Java EE6. Normally I’d do a talk on Grails to this set (and pump the book of course!), but Peter McNeil had already put a Grails talk together and I was already brimming with other ideas…
Anyways, I’ve been doing some client work on JEE6 lately, and I was so inspired by Adam Bien’s live coding talk at JavaOne 2010, I’m going to try and reproduce it locally! It’s no Grails, but EE6 gets a lot of things right! I’ve been very impressed with it. The abstract for the talk is:
Learn some of the new enterprise features in Java EE6 which can dramatically improve developer productivity by eliminating boilerplate code, fully embracing annotations and adopting the “convention over configuration” paradigm. In this live-coding workshop, we’ll develop a scalable, data-driven, multi-tier, REST-exposed, JSON-friendly Web2.0 application from scratch in under an hour!
Should be a really fun talk! I’m going to follow Adam’s pattern start from a clean slate and just code for an hour talking about EE6 features as I add them:
It’s going to be a great time. So if you’re free and in Canberra on Wednesday the 14th October, drop on by the Dev Stream at the Oracle JUG at 10am for the talk.
The code will be flowing freely… I hope…
