meeting tue jun 13th - jquery
This month, at the great suggestion of Dave Kerber, we’ve invited Andrew Wirick to come give a talk on JQuery. Given most Java projects involve some amount of browser client-side development these days, it seemed like a great topic to branch out to.
Andrew is heavily involved in the local JQuery users group and has given several presentations there. He has 3-4 different presentations he can give, ranging from beginner to advanced, depending on our group’s interests/existing familiarity with JQuery.
Meeting details:
- Tuesday, June 15th
- Food at 5:30pm courtesy of TEKsystems
- Presentation at 6:00pm
- Gallup Riverfront Campus, 1001 Gallup Drive
Hope to see you there!
meeting tue may 18th - polygot/clojure
The next meeting is this Tuesday on the 18th. Scott Hickey has said he’ll talk/foster discussion around polygot programming (using multiple programming languages on the same project) and/or Clojure (a Lisp language for the JVM).
People have being saying great things about Clojure, and how it built concurrency/immutability/etc. directly into the language. Should be a great time.

meeting tue apr 20th - swing testing
This month David Kerber is giving a presentation on testing Swing user interfaces with the fest API. He’ll talk about his experience of adding several hundred automated tests to an existing Swing app.
Automated testing is a very interesting topic and something enterprise projects should definitely be doing in some form these days, so I look forward to hearing about David’s experiences.
