Hi all, The Strange Loop developer conference in St. Louis has just released the technical sessions for the conference and I think it's a great list of local and national speakers talking about a wide range of technologies.
If you're a Java journeyman, some of these talks may be of interest: - Michael Ernst - talking about pluggable type checkers and some of the new annotation work from JSR 308 that's coming in JDK 7 - Alex Buckley - from Sun talking about the new Java modularity features from JDK 7 (JSR 294, Project Jigsaw) - Bob Lee - doing a keynote about something, not sure what yet, but possibly the new JSR 330 dependency injection JSR - Ken Sipe - talking about Spring 3 - Stefan Schmidt - coming all the way from Australia, a lead dev on the new Spring Roo will be talking about Roo - Joseph Hirn - talking about best practices for Maven from the trenches If you're a Groovy/Grails/Griffon guru, you'll be in heaven hearing about: - Guillaume Laforge - talking about Groovy 1.6 and 1.7 - Jeff Brown - talking about new polyglot web dev with Grails - Hamlet D'Arcy - talking about the new Groovy compiler metaprogramming features he's been working on - James Williams - talking about Swing dev with Griffon If you're Clojure conjurer or a Scala sorcerer or a Ruby wrangler, you might be curious about: - Mark Volkmann - talking about Clojure and software transactional memory - Dean Wampler - talking about polyglot programming - Bob McWhirter - talking about TorqueBox - Charles Oliver Nutter - talking about JRuby Mutants like Juby and Duby There will also be a party at Blueberry Hill (where Chuck Berry still plays regularly and demands to be paid before the gig with cash). And a closing keynote from Alex Payne, the API Lead at Twitter. And I'm still just scratching the surface on the sessions - see here for more: http://thestrangeloop.com/sessions/list Till August 14th, you can register for $75. My wife keeps telling me I'm crazy for charging that and she's probably right. But I want this event to be rocking and I want everyone to make it, regardless of whether your company has a conference budget or not, so I'm keeping it there until August 14th. After that, prices will rise till the conference (see the web site for details).
