******* Begin original SVJUG Annoucement **********

Meeting....: Silicon Valley Java Users Group (SVJUG)

Time.......: March 20,2007 (THIRD TUESDAY of each month)

Cost.......: Always FREE to all!

Topic......: Closures for Java

Speaker....: Neal Gafter, Google Inc (http://www.google.com)

Description:

We propose to add Closures  to the Java Programming
Language. Closures simplify the use of APIs  that rely
on the use of anonymous class instances, such as the
concurrency  APIs and callbacks. More importantly,
closures support control abstractions,  which are
APIs that act as programmer-defined control
constructs. This  talk describes the proposed
language extension and its design rationale,  and
shows how it will affect existing and future APIs

Speaker Bio:

Neal Gafter is a software engineer and Java
evangelist at Google. He was previously a senior staff
engineer at Sun Microsystems, where he co-designed and
implemented the Java language features in releases 1.4
through 5.0. Neal is coauthor of "Java Puzzlers:
Traps, Pitfalls, and Corner Cases" (Addison Wesley, 2005).
He was a member of the C++ Standards Committee and
led the development of C and C++ compilers at Sun Microsystems,
Microtec Research, and Texas Instruments. He holds a
Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Rochester.

Meeting co-hosted with "Silicon Valley Web Developer JUG"

details @ http://www.baychi.org/bof/java/20060515/

Description:

With the Struts and WebWork merger announcement and the fact
that Struts Action Framework 2.0 would be based on WebWork,
the Java web application landscape is finally maturing and
consolidating. As the leader of the action-style Java web
frameworks, WebWork is relatively unknown but is about to be
introduced to a very large community. Come learn about what
makes WebWork so special to work with. This session will be
extremely hands on and code intensive, so come prepared to
ask questions and get involved! Topics covered include:

      * The future of Struts and WebWork
      * The basics of WebWork
      * Advanced AJAX features
      * Rapid application development: not just for Ruby on Rails anymore
      * Creating rich reusable UI components

Important Note: You must arrive between 6:30 and 7:00 p.m.
to register for this event. After 7:00, there will no longer
be security personnel in the lobby to register you, and
the main outside doors will be locked.

Dear SVJUG Members,

This is a friendly reminder for the SVJUG meeting TONIGHT,

Jonas Jacobi will be presenting on "JSF & Wireless Development",there are
books and other giveaways.

See you tonight

Venki
******* Begin SVJUG Annoucement **********

Meeting....: Silicon Valley Java Users Group (SVJUG)

Time.......: April 13,2005 (second Wednesday of each month)

Cost.......: Always FREE to all!

Topic......: Wireless Development with JSF

Speaker....: Jonas Jacobi, Oracle Corporation
(http://www.oracle.com)

Description:

One of the key differentiators of JavaServer
Faces (JSF) is that it can be markup agnostic,
allowing you to attach any available render kit
(HTML, WML, Telnet/Character mode etc.) to a
set of components. Using custom JSF components
a developer can build applications targeted for
different agents (browsers, PDAs, etc.) with a
common programming model - JSF and Java. To
illustrate this flexibility the session will
introduce the concept of mobile development and
how this can be improved upon using JSF. As a
foundation for this session ADF Faces components
(a rich set of JSF components) will be used to
illustrate that this is something very real
and that this technology will be available to
developers later this summer.

Speaker Bio:

Jonas Jacobi is a principal product manager for
Application Development Tools at Oracle Corp.
Mr Jacobi is responsible for the ADF UIX/ADF
JavaServer Faces technologies in Oracle JDeveloper.
He joined Oracle in 1999 and previously held
positions in the IT industry ranging from

Dear SVJUG Members,

This is a friendly reminder for the SVJUG meeting TONIGHT,

Alberto Savoia will be presenting on "The future of Developer Testing for
Java",there are books(Kent Beck's) and other giveaways.

Meeting....: Silicon Valley Java Users Group (SVJUG)

Time.......: March 09,2005 (second Wednesday of each month)

Cost.......: Always FREE to all!

Topic......: The Future of Developer Testing for Java

Speaker....: Alberto Savoia, Agitar Software
(http://www.agitar.com)

Description:

Software testing is finally emerging from the
dark ages and entering into a renaissance due
primarily to the growing popularity of extreme
programming and other approaches that highlight
the importance and necessity for developer testing.
Java developers are at the forefront of this
revolution, as evidenced by the fact that JUnit
has been downloaded over 500,000 times, a
stunning number for a testing tool, and more
than all of the other XUnit frameworks combined.

Thanks to JUnit, we have automated and
standardized test execution and reporting, but
the creation and maintenance of developer and
unit tests is still a time-consuming and mostly
manual process. It's time to raise the bar.
Java gives us an opportunity to let computers
do 90% of the mundane work associated with test
creation and maintenance - and to do it better
than us. We should take advantage of this so
developers can focus on the aspects of
programming and testing that fully leverage human
intelligence and creativity.

In this presentation you will learn how Java's
unique set of features combined with the computing
power of modern CPUs can be used to address some
of the thorniest problems associated with developer
and unit testing. You will learn the right way
to handle some of the biggest challenges
intrinsic to testing such as combinatorial
explosions, the myriad of explicit and implicit
class dependencies, uncoordinated and unexpected
code changes, complex and time-consuming test
set-up and test maintenance issues.
You will see code and test examples that highlight
the inherent inefficienciesand incompleteness of
hand-crafted tests, and how automation and
collaborative testing can save you from writing
and maintaining 90% of the test code you think
you need to write.

Outline:

Developer Testing
Developer Testing Makes Sense
Most Developer Testing Efforts Fall Short of their
Objectives
Hand-Crafted Developer Tests Will Never Be Enough
Developer Testing's Toughest Challenges
Combinatorial Explosions
Explicit and Implicit Class Dependencies
Uncoordinated and Unexpected Code Changes
Complicated and Time Consuming Test Set-up
Setting and Tracking Measurable Test Objectives
Test Maintenance
Java-Based Technology and the Future of Developer Testing
Automated Construction and Mutation of Objects
Automated Mock Objects
Parameterized Unit Tests
Automating Assertions
A Calculus for Analyzing Class Dependencies, Test
Executions, and Test Results
Test Points and Testing Dashboards

The Future of Java Developer Testing Is Here

What You Can Do Today

Speaker Bio:

Before Agitar, Alberto worked at Google as
the engineering executive in charge of the
highly successful and profitable ads group.
In October 1998, he cofounded and became
CTO of Velogic Inc., the pioneer and leading
innovator in Internet performance and
scalability testing. Velogic was acquired in
2000 by Keynote Systems Inc. (NASD:KEYN),
where Alberto continued to serve as chief
technologist. Prior to Velogic, Alberto had
an impressive 13-year career at Sun Microsystems.
His last position at Sun was general manager of
SunTest, a highly successful business unit he

Topic......: The Future of Developer Testing for Java

Speaker....: Alberto Savoia, Agitar Software
	      (http://www.agitar.com)

Description:

Software testing is finally emerging from the
dark ages and entering into a renaissance due
primarily to the growing popularity of extreme
programming and other approaches that highlight
the importance and necessity for developer testing.
Java developers are at the forefront of this
revolution, as evidenced by the fact that JUnit
has been downloaded over 500,000 times, a
stunning number for a testing tool, and more
than all of the other XUnit frameworks combined.

Thanks to JUnit, we have automated and
standardized test execution and reporting, but
the creation and maintenance of developer and
unit tests is still a time-consuming and mostly
manual process. It's time to raise the bar.
Java gives us an opportunity to let computers
do 90% of the mundane work associated with test
creation and maintenance - and to do it better
than us. We should take advantage of this so
developers can focus on the aspects of
programming and testing that fully leverage human
intelligence and creativity.

In this presentation you will learn how Java's
unique set of features combined with the computing
power of modern CPUs can be used to address some
of the thorniest problems associated with developer
and unit testing. You will learn the right way
to handle some of the biggest challenges
intrinsic to testing such as combinatorial
explosions, the myriad of explicit and implicit
class dependencies, uncoordinated and unexpected
code changes, complex and time-consuming test
set-up and test maintenance issues.
You will see code and test examples that highlight
the inherent inefficienciesand incompleteness of
hand-crafted tests, and how automation and
collaborative testing can save you from writing
and maintaining 90% of the test code you think
you need to write.

Outline:

Developer Testing
Developer Testing Makes Sense
Most Developer Testing Efforts Fall Short of their
Objectives
      Hand-Crafted Developer Tests Will Never Be Enough
      Developer Testing's Toughest Challenges
      Combinatorial Explosions
      Explicit and Implicit Class Dependencies
      Uncoordinated and Unexpected Code Changes
      Complicated and Time Consuming Test Set-up
      Setting and Tracking Measurable Test Objectives
      Test Maintenance
      Java-Based Technology and the Future of Developer Testing
      Automated Construction and Mutation of Objects
      Automated Mock Objects
      Parameterized Unit Tests
      Automating Assertions
      A Calculus for Analyzing Class Dependencies, Test
         Executions, and Test Results
      Test Points and Testing Dashboards

The Future of Java Developer Testing Is Here

            What You Can Do Today

The recent announcement by Sun Microsystems about
the EJB and JDO specification teams collaborating
on a common persistence API was driven by requests
from the Java community. The collaboration will
result in the development of a new specification
that incorporates the best of parts of the JDO and
EJB standards. Like JDO, this common persistence API
will work in and out of the container. Additionally,
JDO 2.0 will continue to push forward, sharing many
aspects of the new persistence specification e.g.,
object/relational mapping metadata, but adding
functionality that will go beyond the scope of the
new persistence specification. In this presentation,
we will highlight the current status of the new
persistence specification and the details of the
JDO 2 specification. We will highlight how developers
can use the JDO specification, available today, as
the perfect migration path to the new persistence
specification and how products supporting both
specifications can provide interoperability between
the two standards. Finally, in this presentation,
we will highlight criteria to look at when you
evaluate different persistence solutions.

Speaker Bio:

Patrick Linskey has been working with Java Data Objects
for over 3 years and has been involved in object/relational
mapping for 5+ years. As the founder and CTO of
SolarMetric, Patrick drives the technical direction of the
company. Patrick is a luminary on JDOcentral, a
consortium committed to marketing the JDO standard.
Patrick has been the primary evangelist for JDO,
having publicly spoken to rave reviews in numerous
cities over the past 2 years. He has been one of the
leaders on the JDO specification team, currently
helping drive the JDO 2.0 specification and will be
SolarMetric's representative on the new POJO persistence
specification proposed by Sun.

Patrick is co-author of Bitter EJB, one of the more
popular Java books in 2003. Patrick has also worked
for TechTrader, MIT's Media Lab and Bank One in

SolarMetric has developed the market leading JDO
implementation with nearly 300 customers throughout
