Sibiu JUG - The 10th event

Wednesday 24 October 2012, Sibiu JUG (Java User Group) has organized a new Java dedicated seminar and the approached subject was about how to develop applications using Oracle ADF and a video demonstration of Oracle ADF Mobile. Our guest and speaker for this event was Flavius Sana, Oracle Product Development Engineer, FMW.

By combining presentation slides with live demonstration, Flavius offered to the audience a good overview over the main Oracle ADF capabilities. In the last part of the event ADF Mobile particularities were discussed together with the audience and probably the most debated aspect was how exactly does this technology runs fully on iOS. One of the participants, Ciprian Popa, made a special research and published an article dedicated to this aspect.

I am very happy to announce that starting with this event Sibiu Java User Group has a new partner. iQuest joined our group and was directly involved in this event's sponsorship. I salute this initiative and their implication in supporting the local Java community and I'm glad our group added to it's partners list another prestigious company which is interested in people's continuous development.

Java User Group Sibiu - The Future of the Java Platform: Java SE 8 & Beyond

One of our objectives is to get informed, to stay up to date with technologies, to get answers for complex questions, to receive quality details from quality speakers. For the 9'th event of Sibiu Java User Group we had the opportunity to follow a prestigious speaker, Simon Ritter - Technology Evangelist at Oracle Corporation.  The event was organized at Golden Tulip Ana Tower Sibiu, Wednesday 20'th of June, 2012.

Simon has been in the IT business since 1984 and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Brunel University in the U.K.
Originally working in the area of UNIX development for AT&T UNIX System Labs and then Novell, Simon moved to Sun in 1996. At this time he started working with Java technology and has spent time working both in Java technology development and consultancy. Having moved to Oracle as part of the Sun acquisition he now focuses on the core Java platform and Java for client applications. He also continues to develop demonstrations that push the boundaries of Java for applications like gestural interfaces.

In this event Simon recapped recent developments in Java SE 7 and the Java Community Process and continued by moving onto the current ideas for features in Java SE 8 and about the main themes for Java SE 9 and beyond. On the last part of the presentation Simon concluded with a look at some of the features that are being considered for inclusion in versions of Java as far forward as Java SE 12. Everybody was interested in the subjects and <<coffee-break >> discussions together with the Q&A session were meant to clarify the questions from the participants. The received feedback is positive and everybody is looking forward for next events.


I want to notice an important aspect here also, starting with this event our group added a new partner to the list of the existing ones. EBS joined Sibiu JUG and we are happy to add one more prestigious company to our partners group.


In the end I would like to thank all our partners and sponsors (Oracle, Pentalog, EBS, PeopleCentric, JRebel, IntelliJ IDEA, ULBS) for all their support and implication in our group activities. I also would like to thank Simon Ritter for his presence here and we are looking forward for a future collaboration. Last (but not least), I would like to thank to all attendees and to remember our motto to everybody: "RESEARCH, SHARE, EVOLVE"

Java User Group Sibiu - Generatia urmatoare (1)

Am discutat in mai multe randuri, la diferite evenimente, despre importanta care trebuie acordata noilor generatii de specialisti Java, tinerilor pasionati de dezvoltarea produselor software utilizand aceasta tehnologie. Doresc sa subliniez aici faptul ca este foarte important sa utilizam o parte din energia noastra in aceasta directie, sa le partajam din experienta noastra si sa ii incurajam in procesul lor de dezvoltare profesionala. Motivatia este clara: nu putem astepta o recolta bogata daca nu semanam nimic, sau o facem superficial.

Cu totii ne dorim sa facem parte dintr-o comunitate care aduce impreuna profesionisti in domeniu, persoane care in urma schimbului de experienta sa castige noi informatii, sa isi deschida noi orizonturi, sa isi clarifice diferite dileme din domeniu. Pentru o comunitate puternica avem nevoie de specialisti consacrati, de oameni care doresc sa isi duca pasiunea si cercetarea la un alt nivel, partajand experienta lor si complexitatea cunostintelor cu cei din jur... Un element deopotriva important este implicarea noastra in dezvoltarea noilor generatii de programatori Java, deoarece o comunitate puternica trebuie sa contina, in afara elementelor enumerate anterior, si elementul care asigura viitorul si continuitatea: tinerii pasionati. In acest context exista mai multe directii in cadrul Sibiu JUG (despre care voi prezenta mai multe detalii in alt articol), una dintre acestea insa este reprezentata chiar de prezentarile tehnice.

Pornind de la conceptul descris anterior, Java User Group Sibiu a organizat Miercuri, 30 Iunie 2012, seminarul cu numarul 8, eveniment desfasurat la Golden Tulip Ana Tower Sibiu. Prezentarea tehnica din cadrul acestui eveniment a tratat principalele aspecte ale tehnologiei JAX-WS, mai exact ultima versiune: 2.2.6. Sutinuta de Dan Nemes, un tanar de perspectiva in acest domeniu care si-a invins emotiile cu succes, prezentarea a fost apreciata de participanti si a fost in acelas timp un pas important in dezvoltarea sa profesionala. Au fost clarificate aspectele necesare crearii unui serviciu Web utilizand aceassta tehnologie si prezentata practic o aplicatie demonstrativa pentru a exemplifica utlitatea acesteia.

La acest eveniment au participat aproximativ 30 persoane, printre ei aflandu-se si cativa noi simpatizanti ai grupului. Feedback-ul a fost unul pozitiv, iar discutiile din pauza si de la finalul evenimentului si-au atins scopul, acela de a omogeniza grupul. Pentru urmatorul eveniment (20 Iunie 2012) il vom avea invitat pe Simon Ritter (Oracle Java Technology Evangelist) si invit toti pasionatii Java sa participe la evenimentul organizat impreuna cu unul dintre cei mai titrati speakeri Oracle.




Multumesc sponsorilor si partenerilor grupului (Oracle, Pentalog, JRebel, PeopleCentric, etc) pentru sustinere.
