The end of the month is sort of light on tech events in Ann Arbor, but STILL there are things to do within driving distance! PyOhio is going on in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday July 26. It's a free event, and includes talks, open spaces, lightning talks...
The Java Posse interview with Brian Goetz and Bill Pugh cleared up how Scala supports tail recursion in spite of the JVM's lack of support. Brian Goetz did a great job of explaining that currently compiler writers have to build in the support (which...
I read an interesting blog post on Ed Burnette's Dev Connection this morning. Google says that Android (the libraries, the core platform components) will be open-sourced 100%. Ed talked to several Google employees last week at the Google I/O conference...
Last weekend, an unexpected turn of events (that involve our dog and a box of Bisquick) left me at home, while my family headed off for a planned weekend away with our friends. The time alone gave me a lot of time to catch up on things, including shopping...
I was planning to talk about Scala at the Ann Arbor Java User Group meeting this week, but I'm going to have to cancel. I came down with the flu, and then pneumonia and I'm still coughing too much to be able to do a talk. I'm sure that we...
I will be doing an introduction to Scala at the Ann Arbor Java User Group meeting on Tuesday, March 26. The AAJUG wordpress site is broken, but hopefully people will know about the talk and attend anyhow. Here's my abstract: Scala is a multi paradigm...
Last year, at the Java Posse Roundup in Crested Butte, a few of us got together the day before the conference for a pre-event. We talked about Django and TurboGears. It was quite interesting, and people filtered in throughout the evening, as they arrived...
Our friends in Columbus, OH will host Rod Johnson on Thursday, January 24, from 6-8 pm . Rod is the creator of Spring and a hero to many in the J2EE community for giving them an alternative to EJBs. Rod will discuss new features in Spring 2.5. If you're...
Last week, James Ward (Adobe), Josh Holmes (Microsoft), and Bruce Eckel (well, Bruce Eckel!) conducted a Rich Internet Application Jam at our office. This was NOT a competitive event. Rather, in the spirit of CodeMash, people came together to learn about...
Today was the first day for the Rich Internet Application Jam, being held at SRT Solutions' offices. James Ward (Adobe) and Bruce Eckel are here, working side-by-side with people who are in various stages of learning Flex and Josh Holmes (Microsoft...
We have several free events coming up at SRT. On Thursday, January 3, at 7 pm is the monthly Michigan Python User Group meeting. Discussions will likely center around a project called Python Underground and I've heard rumors of a discussion of the...
I was just loading up my iPod for my Friday night workout and I was hoping for a new Java Posse podcast. I'm in the habit of listening to podcasts rather than music while working out. The time goes quickly and I learn something. The only downside...
Kudos to our friends Bill Heitzeg and Terry Montgomery and Joy Gradin of Summit Mobile Solutions , who have a very cool web application (written in Java and GWT ) to manage cell phone costs, and who now have paying customers! Good job, all!
The Ann Arbor Java Users Group will be meeting on Tuesday, November 27, with David Ward of JBoss speaking on "JBoss Seam and the Red Hat Developer Studio". Food and networking at 6:30, meeting will start at 7:15. Zattoo is sponsoring (food and...
I'm really looking forward to CodeMash 2008. There is an amazing list of speakers. Here's a subset of the talks that interest me (not in any particular order) Testing with Guice, by Dick Wall Dick is a cohost of the Java Posse podcast, which is...
