State of the Art in Server Side Java
Java is currently going through a period of very rapid change. Some of the changes are because of the new metadata/annotations language feature introduced in Tiger (JDK 1.5). Other changes are because of new innovative open source projects, such as Hibernate, Spring and Aspect Oriented Programming frameworks, which has influenced the EJB 3.0 specification.This seminar will rapidly describe a number of these new changes from high altitude. The idea is to let seminar attendees find additional information on their own for areas of special interest. The intended duration of the seminar is 2-3 hours, and can be customized to your particular interests. It can be held in English or Swedish at your location in Scandinavia.
I am a member of the JCP, and have used Java full time since 1998. Reach me by email at mats.henricson@crisp.se.
