  • Presentation at 6:00pm

meeting tue jan 19th — git/git-svn

This week is OJUG. This month I’ll be talking about git/git-svn.

Besides the usual stuff of how git is a distributed source code management tool, staging, committing, merging, etc, I’ll also cover how you can use git as a client for checking out/committing to Subversion repositories (e.g. if your day job uses svn but you just would rather not).

Meeting details:

  • Tuesday, January 19th
  • Food/discussion at 5:30pm
  • Presentation at 6:00pm
  • Gallup Riverfront Campus, 1001 Gallup Drive, Omaha, NE

ojug meeting tue dec 15th — guice

Tomorrow is the 3rd Tuesday, and Ramzi is scheduled to talk about Guice, a annotation-based Dependency Injection framework. Should be pretty cool.

Meeting details:

  • Tuesday, December 15th
  • Pizza at 5:30pm sponsored by TEKsystems
  • Guice presentation at 6:00pm
  • Gallup Riverfront Campus, 1001 Gallup Dr, Omaha, NE

Hope to see everyone there. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

Also, please join the mailing list if you have any topics you’d enjoy hearing about or presenting on.

ojug meeting tue nov 17th — grails

OJUG normally moves its November meeting to the 2nd Tuesday to avoid the holidays, but we’re staying with the 3rd Tuesday this year and meeting on 11/17 as it is still a week before Thanksgiving.

Besides the regular time and place, another upshot is that Scott Hickey will be available to talk about Grails.

Meeting details:

  • Tuesday, November 17th
  • Food/discussion at 5:30pm
  • Presentation at 6:00pm
  • Gallup Riverfront Campus, 1001 Gallup Dr, Omaha, NE

ojug meeting tue oct 20th — grails and/or netty

The 3rd Tuesday is coming up. Scott Hickey has tentatively agreed to give a talk about Groovy/Grails, with the caveat that he just started a new remote gig as a Grails tech lead and so may have to be out, depending on how his ramp-up time is going.

If Scott can’t make it, I’ve been hacking on a non-blocking HTTP proxy server built on top of JBoss’s Netty asynchronous I/O framework. It’s a pretty small project and I think a good intro to how asynchronous I/O, the current darling of systems that scale to thousands of concurrent connections, works.

Netty has been getting some press as a potential successor to Apache’s Mina asynchronous I/O framework for building low-level custom protocols. E.g. previously I’ve used Mina to talk binary to a card processing system.

Meeting details:

  • Tuesday, October 20th
  • Food/discussion at 5:30pm
  • Presentation at 6:00pm
  • Gallup Riverfront Campus, 1001 Gallup Dr, Omaha, NE
  • Please RSVP to stephen at exigencecorp.com

Hope to see you there.
