February Jozi JUG - Highly available clustered apps on Amazon Web services January 26, 2012 09:13AM |
Time: 27/02/2012 17:30 for 18:00
Location: Chillroom – Internet Solutions – Le Mans Building – The Campus – Cnr Sloane and Main
Agenda:
17:30 – 18:00 Drinks
18:00 – 19:00 Presentation
19:00 onward Supper and networking
Please RSVP on either:
Facebook or
Meetup
Sponsors for the event are Tetrad IT.
Tomek is going to talk about how he and his company is successfully using AWS to run their applications (such as https://JBison.com/ or https://www.circulardms.com/ ). You will be able to find out what Amazon, next to the most commonly known EC2, has to offer developers to make the coding easier and the hosting cheaper. There will be lots of live coding (in Java of course!), because Tomek has a funny accent, which would be difficult to listen to
Bio:
Tomek is a CEO of the Polish company SoftwareMill which he has founded over 2 years ago with his friends. He used to work for JBoss, so he is very JBoss-brainwashed. Which he says is a good thing, because JBoss is the best… He is an agile freak/evangelizer and believes more in remote working than in office time-wasting. He is in South Africa for a short while invited by a company which SoftwareMill is partnering with, Tersos Consulting, to perform Application Architect duties for a Big Client. But don't ask him who it is, because then he'll have to kill you...

Re: Jozi JUG 2012 Calendar of Events August 20, 2012 04:16PM |
Hi all
Toby Kurien will be presenting on Xtend:
"Xtend is a little language that compiles into idiomatic Java source code. You can use any existing Java library seamlessly from Xtend (and vice-versa). The compiled output is readable and pretty-printed, and tends to run as fast or faster than the equivalent handwritten Java code. It's the CoffeeScript for Java.
Xtend Screencast" - http://www.eclipse.org/xtend/
If you saw Toby present last time you'll definitely want to see this one. If you missed him last time, well now's your chance!
