August 2009 Meeting - Java in the Cloud: Web Apps on Google App Engine

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

For this August’s meeting, scheduled for next week Tuesday 25, we will explore Java on the Google App Engine (GAE).  If you have not heard about GAE, it’s a distributed web platform created and hosted by Google.  The company released GAE initially with support for Python and added Java earlier this year.  Today Java developers can use GAE to create scalable Java web application (purportedly on the same infrastructure used by the company).

-= Presentation =-
The followings will be discussed
- Quick introduction to GAE
- A look at the SDK and dev tooling
- Code! Code! Code! - build and deploy a small app on live instance

This will be a demo-based presentation with very little slides.  So,
bring your laptop and follow along as we explore the SDK, IDE, and
build a sample app.

If you can’t wait, take a look at

May 2009 Meeting - Distributed Programming with Hazelcast

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

For the Tampa Java User Group’s May 2009 meeting, we will take a look at distributed application development.  With the momentous rise of cloud computing, distributed programming tools  are becoming valuable assets to developers.  In our next meeting, we will have a presentation on Hazelcast by Talip Ozturk (creator), an open source data clustering framework for Java.

As always, if you plan to attend, make sure to bring a colleague.  An RSVP email will be sent later, so be sure to respond so we can plan accordingly.  There will be food and plenty of prizes and giveaways.

-= Presentation =-
Today’s applications are getting more and more distributed everyday and it is well-known that distributed programming is hard. With Hazelcast though, distributed programming is easy and lots of fun. Common reaction of Hazelcast users is ‘Ooh my God, this cannot be that easy’. Hazelcast is an opensource transactional, distributed/partitioned implementation of queue, map, set, list, lock and executor service for Java. Hazelcast is for you if you like to easily:
* share data/state among many servers (e.g. web session sharing)
* cache your data (distributed cache)
* cluster your application
* partition your in-memory data
* send/receive messages among applications
* distribute workload onto many servers
* take advantage of parallel processing
* provide fail-safe data management

In this session, we will cover:
* Introduction to Hazelcast
* Code samples
* Use-cases
* Demo
* Internals of Hazelcast
* Q/A

-= Speaker’s Bio =-
Talip Ozturk is the founder of Hazelcast and Hazel Ltd. He has been working with enterprise Java since 1999. In 2003, he got fascinated by Jini and developed an implementation of JavaSpaces. In 2008, his
passion for distributed programming led him to develop Hazelcast, an open source clustering and highly scalable data distribution platform for Java. Before Hazelcast, he was the director of technology at Zaman
