Wikipedia Place



We just had Brion Vibber in town and he gave a talk for the OrlandoJUG - so many of you couldn't attend the talk. And, lots of questions resulted from the discussions. There's a group here on Codetown we're calling Wikipedia PlaceContinue

Thanks for the welcome, Mike. I have a question for you.

I have a couple job opportunities for enterprise RoR product development. Is there a manner, place or etiquette for letting folks know about them here?

They are very cool jobs and my preference is to avoid a cattle call. Let me know.

Regards,

Rick

Reading List

Java Platform, Enterprise Edition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Java Platform, Enterprise Edition or Java EE is a widely used platform for server programming in the Java programming language. The Java platform (Enterprise Edition) differs from the Java Standard Edition Platform (Java SE) in that it adds libraries which provide functionality to deploy fault-tolerant, distributed, multi-tier Java software, based largely on modular components running on an application server.

Java EE at a Glance

Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) builds on the solid foundation of Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) and is the industry standard for implementing enterprise-class service-oriented architecture (SOA) and next-generation web applications. The SDKs contain Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server, previously named Sun Java System Application Server, and provide support for Java EE 5 specifications.

The Seductions of Scala, Part I

Scala works seamlessly with Java. You can invoke Java APIs, extend Java classes and implement Java interfaces. You can even invoke Scala code from Java, once you understand how certain “Scala-isms” are translated to Java constructs (javap is your friend). Scala syntax is more succinct and removes a lot of tedious boilerplate from Java code.

The busy Java developer's guide to Scala: Functional programming for the object oriented

Summary: The Java™ platform has historically been the province of object-oriented programming, but even Java language stalwarts are starting to pay attention to the latest old-is-new trend in application development: functional programming. In this new series, Ted Neward introduces Scala, a programming language that combines functional and object-oriented techniques for the JVM. Along the way, Ted makes the case for why you should take the time to learn Scala — concurrency, for one — and shows you how quickly it will pay off.

The Scala Programming Language

Scala is a general purpose programming language designed to express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. It smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages, enabling Java and other programmers to be more productive. Code sizes are typically reduced by a factor of two to three when compared to an equivalent Java application. Read more...
