Review of the JavaOne Conference Presentations
Having not been at JavaOne 2007, the only real course of action is to read the JavaOne blogs and down the many presentations. Here is my list of worthwhile presentations to download:
- Java SE: Present and Future – Danny’s Java SE Top 10 features. Overview of what is coming down the pipe for JE 7, although 2009 is a long way off – .NET Framework 4.0 timeframe I’m guessing. JMap/JHat
- Xen and the Art of Distributed Virtual Machine Management – worth a read given the number of banks looking/using visualization.
- Java Performance on MultiCore – the pitfalls slides are probably worth a look.
- Closures for the Java Programming Language
- Distributed Computing in the Modern Datacenter
- Swing in a Multi-Threaded World
- Java Generics and Collections
- The Sun Java Real-Time System meets Wall Street – a must read since its the only presentation specifically about finance.
- Effective Java Reloaded – finally somebody else who agrees with the way I use final.
- A Real-Time Garbage Collector for a Real-Time Java VM
- The Top 10 Ways to Botch Enterprise Java Technology-Based Application Scalability and Reliability – a must read.
- Testing Java Code Beyond the IDE – FindBugs etc
- Effective Concurrency for the Java Platform
- Anatomy of an Eclipse RCP Application – I know a quite a few bank projects that use RCP.
- Tricks and Tips with NIO Using the Grizzly Framework
- Advanced Enterprise Debugging

- Developing Reliable Products: Static and Dynamic Analysis of the Code
- Bytecode Manipulation Techniques for Dynamic Applications for the Java Virtual machine
- Java Technology and .NET UI Interopability: How to Mix and Match UI Components
Finally there is of course the Java Puzzlers, Episode VI: The Phantom Reference Menace, attach of the Clone, Revenge of the Shift session.
My last JavaOne conference was in 1997. Glad to see that they’re finally taking real time seriously. With deterministic garbage collection, they’ll soon catch up with C++
