Hey all,

I thought you might be interested in hearing about an upcoming barcamp
here on oahu: Saturday, January 12, 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM, in Hawaii Kai,
$20 includes tshirt and lunch.  Barcamp, for those of you who haven't
heard the term, is a participant-generated conference format.  Looks
like the focus is general web/technology/new media.  You can see what
presentations are planned (or sign up to give one!) at
http://unconferenz.pbwiki.com/

at upcoming: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/379564/

happy holidays!

Hello honolulu-coders,

Hey Folks,

We recently setup http://techhui.ning.com to provide a forum for
developers and engineers on the islands.  I'm also using it to
experiment with all this new fangled social networking technology :-)
The ning platform gives us a lot of nice features including threaded
discussions, blogging, RSS support, customizable homepages, widget
support, image management, video management, and other social
networking functionality.

Its also an OpenSocial container (google's new API for writing social
networking widgets), and it lets you deploy your own code to add
features.  The core platform is written in Java, and the page
rendering is done in PHP.  We plan to deploy some custom features
shortly.  It should be fun to play around with.  Feel free to add
content and invite friends :-)

Aloha,
Dan

Hi Coders,

I am planning to move the next meeting from Dec 5th to Dec 12th, i.e.
back by a week, since my schedule is just jammed and at the moment I am
the only one presenting (linklens development on iPhone).

If anyone else is interested in presenting please do let me know.

Many thanks in advance.

Aloha Kakou,

Thanks much for the interaction last night. Was truly great. I didn't
realize how much I miss hanging out with a bunch of programmers until
we started getting into it.  very good fun.

Seemed to me there was a pretty significant combined IQ in that room
and with that we can move some pretty big mountains.  "With great
power comes great responsibility."

Hi Coders,

I just wanted to say a big belated thankyou to Ralph and Peter for such
an interesting talk last week.  Sorry not to thank them sooner, but work
is rather busy :-)

If anybody is interested in presenting at our next meeting on December
5th please to let me know.

Hi Coders,

We have an application where we are trying to embed a live feed from a
webcam attached to a tablet PC, into a browser running on the tablet PC,
so that we get a kind of virtual window effect, i.e. you can hold up the
tablet PC and see a video feed of what is behind the tablet PC.

Does anyone have any experience of embedding video feeds in browsers?

Please cc vatrapu@... on an any suggestions.

Many thanks in advance

Aloha,

At the last meeting, there were two guys that had a Rails consulting
partnership here in Hawaii.  If you're listening, I may have some work
for you.  Please contact me off list.

Mahalo!
Seth

It's back to love today.  They have preped it for Rails 2.0 in trunk. :)

I have a love-hate relationship with ActiveScaffold after using it on
two projects.  It's great and get's you 90% of the way to a functional
admin UI but the last 10% is more difficult than just coding it if you
don't know AS well.

Also don't plan on upgrading anywhere close to Rails edge/2.0 with it.

Thanks for the clarification, and the great presentation, Seth!  :: is
both a class and a method.  I wouldn't have guessed.

By the way, does Scala have a brief syntax for declaring trees of
objects?  I'm wondering if I could use it as an alternative for XML
configurations.  I'm interested in something like JSON, YAML, or SDL,
but statically typed for compiler validation and IDE auto-complete.
Does Scala, JavaFX, or Groovy fit the bill and provide a good
justification for introducing such a language to an enterprise environment?

Cheers,
11011011

First off, thanks to everyone who came.  It was great to see new faces.

I wanted to clarify one of the confusing elements from last night's
talk.  I didn't understand myself, so I asked the scala mailing list.

If you remember, I showed code like this:

case Nil => ...
case x :: xs => ...

Here, Nil and :: are indeed case classes, subclassing List.  Yes, ::
is a class.  (:: is also a method on List)

Scala provides syntactic sugar for case classes that have two
attributes, as does ::, to allow it to be written as x :: xs instead
of ::(x, xs)

Here's what I got back from Jon Pretty:

---

You could, in fact, write "case ::(x, xs) => ..." instead, but Scala
provides syntactic sugar for two-parameter case classes, which allows
you to write them in this alternative infix form for pattern matching.

Note also that as "::" ends in a colon, it matched right-associatively.

Hope this helps,
Jon

Hope that helps,
Seth

Hey coders, the meeting tomorrow night is at 6:00 pm at Camber
Corporation on the 14th floor of the Pioneer Plaza. That is 900 Fort
Street Mall, Suite 1410, map here:

http://tinyurl.com/23t3q2

If you come after 6:00 pm you will need to get security to let you
into the elevator - please email your name if you plan to come so that
we can let security know that you are attending our meeting. You will
need to present an id to security. If you don't email in time you can
call when you get here and we can come down to get you. Call David at
294-8430 or Kevin at 271-5125.

Parking in the building is a mere $3.00 after 5:00 pm.

Meeting Agenda:

6:00pm - 7:00pm "Rapid Development with ActiveScaffold" Main talk
by David Burger, Wenyi Zhou & Kevin English
7:00pm - 7:15pm Pizza Break sponsored by Camber
7:15pm - 8.00pm "Scala : Java, Erlang, and Ruby's Hot Three Way Love
Child" by Seth Ladd
The talk abstracts are as follows:
Main Talk Title: "Rapid Development with ActiveScaffold"
Main Talk Abstract:
From ActiveScaffold.com:
"Most web applications have many more model objects exposed on the
backend, or admin side, than they do on the front. Coding interfaces
for all those models is redundant and a waste of resources when all
you need is CRUD functionality that's smart enough to handle all your
ActiveRecord associations.
Enter the ActiveScaffold plugin. The successor to the popular
AjaxScaffold project that amassed over 36,000 downloads,
ActiveScaffold provides you with a wealth of dynamically created
goodness."
Camber Developers have been using ActiveScaffold for some their
administration interfaces. They'll show you how to get started and
also share some of techniques for customizing it.
Second Talk Title: "Scala : Java, Erlang, and Ruby's Hot Three Way
Love Child"
Second Talk Abstract:
With Scala, you'll find features from Java (object-oriented, Java
integration, similar syntax), Erlang (massive concurrency, functional
programming) and Ruby (rapid development, more concise, closures
support (through functions)) brought together into one language. Scala
is an excellent introduction into functional programming, as you ease
your way out of imperative programming. It's easy to get started, as
Scala runs on the JVM and integrates with all existing Java libraries.
This talk will cover the basics of Scala, give you a feel for the
language, and explore how to implement massively concurrent systems.
We'll also compare and contrast functional and imperative programming
implementations.
For more information, check out http://www.scala-lang.org/
Seth Ladd is a Senior Software Engineer for Camber Corporation. He
currently finds Scala the new hotness.

Damn, I'll miss it.  I'm back next Monday.

Maybe we can video the talk and post on Youtube?

Street Mall, Suite 1410, map here:

http://tinyurl.com/23t3q2

If you come after 6:00 pm you will need to get security to let you
into the elevator - please email your name if you plan to come so that
we can let security know that you are attending our meeting.  You will
need to present an id to security.  If you don't email in time you can
call when you get here and we can come down to get you.  Call David at
294-8430 or Kevin at 271-5125.

Parking in the building is a mere $3.00 after 5:00 pm.

Meeting Agenda:

6:00pm - 7:00pm "Rapid Development with ActiveScaffold" Main talk
by David Burger, Wenyi Zhou & Kevin English
7:00pm - 7:15pm Pizza Break sponsored by Camber
7:15pm - 8.00pm "Scala : Java, Erlang, and Ruby's Hot Three Way Love
Child" by Seth Ladd
The talk abstracts are as follows:
Main Talk Title: "Rapid Development with ActiveScaffold"
Main Talk Abstract:
From ActiveScaffold.com:
"Most web applications have many more model objects exposed on the
backend, or admin side, than they do on the front. Coding interfaces
for all those models is redundant and a waste of resources when all
you need is CRUD functionality that's smart enough to handle all your
ActiveRecord associations.
Enter the ActiveScaffold plugin. The successor to the popular
AjaxScaffold project that amassed over 36,000 downloads,
ActiveScaffold provides you with a wealth of dynamically created
goodness."
Camber Developers have been using ActiveScaffold for some their
administration interfaces. They'll show you how to get started and
also share some of techniques for customizing it.
Second Talk Title: "Scala : Java, Erlang, and Ruby's Hot Three Way
Love Child"
Second Talk Abstract:
With Scala, you'll find features from Java (object-oriented, Java
integration, similar syntax), Erlang (massive concurrency, functional
programming) and Ruby (rapid development, more concise, closures
support (through functions)) brought together into one language. Scala
is an excellent introduction into functional programming, as you ease
your way out of imperative programming. It's easy to get started, as
Scala runs on the JVM and integrates with all existing Java libraries.
This talk will cover the basics of Scala, give you a feel for the
language, and explore how to implement massively concurrent systems.
We'll also compare and contrast functional and imperative programming
implementations.

> Aloha Coder,
>
>   Camber Corporation is willing to host a presentation on using
ActiveScaffold to rapidly develop CRUD apps in Ruby On Rail. For more
info about active scaffold, go here: http://www.activescaffold.com. We
began using it a few months ago and have been enjoying the benefits
ever since. We can provide a general overview of how to use
ActiveScaffold as well as have some of our developers share some their
experiences.

With Scala, you'll find features from Java (object-oriented, Java integration, similar syntax), Erlang (massive concurrency, functional programming) and Ruby (rapid development, more concise, closures support (through functions)) brought together into one language. Scala is an excellent introduction into functional programming, as you ease your way out of imperative programming.

Second Talk Title: "Scala : Java, Erlang, and Ruby's Hot Three Way

Second Talk Abstract:


Scala - Java, Erlang, and Ruby's Hot Three Way Love Child

With Scala, you'll find features from Java (object-oriented, Java
integration, similar syntax), Erlang (massive concurrency, functional
programming) and Ruby (rapid development, more concise, closures
support (through functions)) brought together into one language.
Scala is an excellent introduction into functional programming, as you
ease your way out of imperative programming.  It's easy to get
started, as Scala runs on the JVM and integrates with all existing
Java libraries.

This talk will cover the basics of Scala, give you a feel for the
language, and explore how to implement massively concurrent systems.
We'll also compare and contrast functional and imperative programming
implementations.
