Here's an announcement from the PLUG.
----- Forwarded message from Bryan Sant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2005 12:27:29 -0700 From: Bryan Sant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Provo Linux Users Group Mailing List <[email protected]> Subject: April PLUG meeting... Reply-To: Bryan Sant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Provo Linux Users Group Mailing List <[email protected]> I will be presenting on Java for April's PLUG meeting. Linux is the fastest growing platform for Java deployments... Obviously we'll be focusing on Java in a Linux world. We'll cover the following topics: * Java performance characteristics. * The Java technology stack (J2SE, J2EE, J2ME). * The wealth of high quality open-source software based on Java. * Introduction to the Eclipse IDE. * Open-source JVM implementations. * Compiling Java code to native code with GNU's GCJ -- VMs are for weenies. * How to launch a jar file :-). * What WebStart is, and why it's pimp. * How Java compares to other solutions (PHP, Perl, Python, C#/Mono, C/C++, Squeak, etc). * Why corporations love Java -- why Java isn't a half-bad skillset to tout. * Why Sun Microsystems is Satan... I'm kidding... Kind of. If you love Java, you should attend. If you're curious about Java, you should attend. If you *HATE* Java with a passion, you should sharpen your knives... and then attend.
