Title: Introducing Jython
Sub-title: The Power of Dynamic Languages on the JVM
by Jim Baker
Abstract:
Jython is an implementation of Python that runs on
the Java Virtual Machine(JVM). Jython compiles to bytecode, integrates
nicely with the rest of the Java platform, and provides a wonderful environment
for trying ideas out directly in its read-eval-print loop (REPL). With
Jython, you can write simple scripts or large projects, all easily
accessing the power of Java. In my talk, I will demo some of Jython's capabilities,
but I will also address why I recently got involved in Jython development.
Over the past few years, development on Jython has stalled in comparison to
other dynamic languages for the JVM (Groovy, JRuby) and Python itself. But
hope is not lost, we can make up ground by being smart. This means sharing
ideas with other projects and good engineering, both qualities that we like
about open source.
Speakers bio:
Jim Baker has over 15 years of professional software development
experience, focusing on business intelligence and high-performance web applications.
He co-founded both Empact Solutions, raising $10M in VC financing, and
BizLogix. He is now a consultant at bivio Software
in Boulder, Colorado. Jim also leads the Front Range Pythoneers, a merry band
of Python enthusiasts. He is a graduate of Winter Park High School,
Harvard, and Brown. Jim was born and raised in Orlando. He learned to swim in
Lake Virginia with Fleet Peeples and first programmed during a one-week
session at the Orlando Science Center the summer after sixth grade. In
1986, he was part of the WPHS team that won the Florida High School Computer
Programming Contest. He first started developing in Java in 1995.

Title: Building sexy web apps in Java Mozilla Tamarin, and Flex
Sub-title: The Power of Dynamic Languages on the JVM
by James Ward
Abstract:
In this session James Ward will do live
demonstrations and write code to
show how easy it is to build sexy web apps with
Java, Mozilla Tamarin,
and Flex. The session will cover the programming
model, Java Remoting,
Pub/Sub messaging & JMS integration, Data
Synchronization, Hibernate
integration, charting, cinematic experiences, and
media integration.
Speakers bio:
James Ward is a Technical Evangelist
for Flex at Adobe and Adobe's JCP representative toJSR 286, 299, and 301.
Much like his love for climbing mountains he enjoys programming because it provides endless new discoveries,
elegant workarounds, summits and valleys. His adventures in climbing have taken him many places.
Likewise, technology has brought him many adventures, including: Pascal and Assembly back in the early 90's;
Perl, HTML, and JavaScript in the mid 90's; then Java and many of it's frameworks beginning in the late 90's.
Today he primarily uses Flex to build beautiful front-ends for Java based back-ends. Prior to Adobe,
James built a rich marketing and customer service portal for Pillar Data Systems.
