Subject: Using the Google Collections Library 1.0 by Kevin Bourrillion on August 6th

This is a cross posting for the Silicon Valley Google Technology User
Group meeting in August. With the topic being the Google Collections
Library for Java, it should be of interest to many of our JUG members.
This is in addition to our August 19th meeting with Rod Johnson. There
will be more about the August 19th meeting posted soon. In the mean
time, you can register now for the Silicon Valley GTUG meeting now:

The Java Collections Framework is indispensable to nearly every Java
developer. Yet, you may often find yourself searching for a collection
type, implementation, or utility that's nowhere to be found. In this
session, you'll learn how the open-source Google Collections Library
builds on the excellent foundation of java.util, to provide more of
the building blocks you need to do your job. You'll see many examples
of how your code can become simpler, safer, more flexible, and more
powerful by adopting classes like ReferenceMap, Multimap, our
immutable collections and many others.

Kevin Bourrillion is the lead engineer for Google's core Java
libraries, more of which will be open-sourced in the future.  He is a
primary author of the Google Collections Library, and of Google's Java
dependency injection framework, Guice.  He came to Google in 2004
after seven years of fighting for life at a string of Hot Silicon
Valley Start-Ups.

That's All Folks, Van
