First No Fluff Just Stuff session of 2006 posted
The first NFJS show has been posted for 2006 for Milwaukee on Feb 24-26th. The full session listing has quite things that I either missed last year or are just new:
- Programming Java Concurrency - as I mentioned earlier, concurrency is something I would really like to expand my knowledge on in 2006.
- Unit Testing Best Practices - I have experience with some of the things in this session, but haven't used XML Unit or DBUnit yet. Can't say that I've had the the need, yet, though.
- State of AOP - I am a beginner re: aspects, so this session would be good for me:
A lot is happening in the field of Aspect-oriented programming (AOP). AspectJ and AspectWerkz, the two leading AOP implementations, have merged, bringing in their respective strengths.
- Unit Testing java Objects with Groovy - Groovy + removing test boilerplate == good
- Losing The Battles and Winning the War: Adopting Agile
- Automating Business Value with FIT and FitNesse - I've only read about FIT and seem examples, haven't been able to put it to use. My main question: where does FIT fit in (hah!) if you know your users will never care about the tests?
- Java/J2EE Architecture @ Work - EJB 3 vs Spring and Hibernate - this one sounds like a lot of fun.
- Introducing the Eclipse Rich Client Platform - Something I've wanted to learn more about but just haven't got around to it yet.
update: also check out the agenda with session times, and travel info.
No Fluff never disappoints, and I'm sure 2006 will not be any different. Looking forward to it very much.
