JUG Chennai had  a JavaFX Seminar by Stephen Chin on 5th of May,2012. Since most of the participants were returning from JavaOne, they were all filled with enthusiasm as well as were eager to be  a part of this community and contribute to towards Open Source. Steve enlightened the JUG members with JavaFX and Scene builder, he introduced different ways in which one can easily pick up JavaFX as the one stop for all their GUI needs and build upon it. The session was followed by a hands on lab where Steve helped the JUG member to design and build an application using Scene Builder and Netbeans IDE. During the presentation Steve also introduced the participants to some of the JVM languages(i.e Groovy,Scala,Visage) that can be used in order to make JavaFX Applications.This did ease out many developers who have already been using the above languages for their daily work. All together this was a really great and vibrant session after JavaOne.

On 21st of April,2010 JUG Chennai celebrated its annual event “Chennai Java Summit’12”. This event did draw a lot of attention and did bring in many Java Enthusiasts from across the city. Since this is an only event of its type in the city where the entire community gets together and draws in new members so as to make the community grow. There were sessions on various topics from some of the renowned developers across the world.This event was organized as a part of AIOUG(All India Oracle User Group), thus there were parallel tracks covering Oracle Technologies too. The speakers for CJS did include Dr.Venkat Subramaniam, Arun Gupta,Scott Davis, Venkatesh S and Rajesh S. Dr Venkat took a seminar on Scala(JVM Language) and did satisfy the curiosity of many enthusiasts who were in a mood to take up the language.This was followed by another session on benefits and uses of Test Based Development.

Arun Gupta enlightened the participants regarding the JEE 7 Platform. He also demonstrated how JEE 7 is shifting its focus towards cloud based services and how will it enable developers to write applications for any cloud based infrastructure. This was followed with another session based on JAX-RS2.0 where he demonstrated how successfully JAX-RS has taken over the development and implementation of RESTFul services. Scott Davis on the other hand showed how important is JavaScript for Java Developers. He also had a session where he demonstrated the power of CSS3.0 and all these sessions were for Java Developers and how to make them clever front end developer too.

There were other sessions too ranging for Quality Software Design to various Version control tools and their uses. CJS even provided us with a great networking opportunity where various developers across Chennai could meet each other and some of the most outstanding developers in the community.

9/10 and 9/11 reminds all of us of certain things which we
want to forget, but for the JUG guys in chennai these days
were technically blissful

why??

Hands on workshop on netbeans conducted by none other than
the person “Geertjan Wielenga” from the horse mouth

Who is he??

he is a Principal Product Manager in the Oracle Developer Tools
group living & working in Amsterdam. He is a Java technology
enthusiast, evangelist, trainer, speaker, and writer

What is there to learn in netbeans, i am familiar with IDE

This is a different dimension of an IDE, this helped us to
understand IDE is just one among the few products build out
of netbeans platform

So the platform plays the most significant role when in comes
to building new business applications

I already have java swing or some RIA why netbeans?

RAD is the key, what is offers as a platform, and how it allows
us to transform and merge existing swing applications into
netbeans core, is the first step he helped us to understand

What does it have in store?

As a platform it is purely based on MVC as we all know and love
to follow as it helps to do changes little mechanically

It comes out with predefined
- layouts
- Menus
- Toolbar
- Properties editor (with easy to track and propagate veteoable changes)
- Flexible UI components (like tree, table, drag drop)
- Connectors to DB
- Preimplemented skeletons with design patterns
- Intra communication between those containers with a same page

try to imagine how we use IDE without any second thought, that if i am
in a defined perspective i see only this, i click on code i see
the methods, i get compiler errors and notifications easily compile
and publish all these are features

Just map it to a business need that’s what he explained that as a platform
if we think IDE in abstraction that can be applied to any business need

Reusability is the key.
Manageability is at it’s ease.
Community is there to back us up.

What else is stopping, look into the presentation for more details, we at
JUG will launch few projects out of netbeans platform and put it in the
store to start making money , just kidding, idealogy of opensource
connect, build, share and grow and contribute, we will stick to those
boundless boundaries and start rolling

I am sure everyone would have enjoyed the session and the challenges it posed
and the satisfaction it brought out on completion truly enthralling

On behalf of the JUG community we really love to thank you (love and thanks does
not go together well still..) Geertjan !!!!

Cheers
Arul
