In this first meeting for those developers with limited experience in Java, we will explore its similarities and differences with other general purpose languages, demonstrate its syntax, and do a focused overview of its object oriented features. Finally, we will discuss suggestions for future meetings. Bring your laptops to Sun's offices!

This means that there is an ability to reduce the hardware and software footprint to the barest version that can possibly support the intended applications of the embedded system. In turn, this means that many libraries written for full-featured operating systems are not well suited to run in the embedded environment, as they often assume a range of system features available in common desktop platforms, but unavailable to many embedded systems. This talk will emphasize techniques developers can use to make their software more suitable for embedded systems. I will also discuss debugging embedded applications, as well as the process of co-developing custom hardware, and its associated software drivers. Aidan Cully is a software engineer at Arkados, a fabless semiconductor manufacturer in Piscataway, NJ. * * * * There will be a BSD Certification exam and SME session Sunday, February 7th. https://register.bsdcertification.org//register/events/nycbug-1 Please contact us for more details. * * * * BSDCan will be held in May in Ottawa, Canada. http://www.bsdcan.org/2010/ * * * * The March NYCBUG meeting will be Ike Levy on pfSense. _______________________________________________ announce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/announce </blockquote> And on Friday Eben Moglen will speak: <blockquote what="official announcement from Evan Korth of ISOC-NY meeting" hosts="ISOC-NY and ACM-NYU" edits="one line reformatted"> Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 20:27:30 -0500 (EST) From: Evan Korth <[email protected]> To: ACM chapter <[email protected]>, women-in-computing <[email protected]>, [email protected], [email protected] Subject: [Computers_and_society_announcements] Eben Moglen speaking at NYU Friday Feb 5th Eben Moglen, Professor of Law and Legal History at Columbia University, and founder, Director-Counsel and Chairman of the Software Freedom Law Center, will speak about "Freedom in the Cloud: Software Freedom, Privacy and Security for Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing" on Friday, February 5, 2010, 7-9 pm.
