Speaker: Ryan Hoegg Topic: Map Reduce Agenda 11:30 am - Welcome Announcements 11:40 am - Main Presentation 12:40 pm - Wrap Up Presentation Information MapReduce: Distributed Computing with Apache Hadoop Scalable software is built so that increasing data or usage does not result in degraded service. Distributed computing is one way to make data processing software scale gracefully. (from http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.0/mapred_tutorial.html#Overview): "Hadoop Map/Reduce is a software framework for easily writing applications which process vast amounts of data (multi-terabyte data-sets) in-parallel on large clusters (thousands of nodes) of commodity hardware in a reliable, fault-tolerant manner." In this talk, I will introduce the Map/Reduce algorithm, and demonstrate how to write a Map/Reduce application using Java and Apache Hadoop.

Speaker: Jason Lee Topic: Introduction to Android Development Agenda 11:30 am - Welcome Announcements 11:40 am - Main Presentation 12:40 pm - Wrap Up Presentation Information In this presentation, we'll take a "Hello, World" look at Android development. We will develop, from the ground up, a very simple application, covering such fundamental topics as Activities, Views, Menus, and data access. Time permitting, we'll finish off the session with a quick look at testing your Android application. We won't cover every topic and API available to developers, but you should leave with enough information to get you started on your own Android app.

Spring Roo can help by creating and managing your Spring-based applications by allowing you to easily add and configure features such as JPA, Spring MVC, WebFlow, JMS, Email, and Spring Security. For the June 2010 session, an introduction to Spring Roo was presented. However, in this session, we will revisit Spring Roo as a rapid application development framework, examine it's default architecture, see how usage of AspectJ's Inter-type declaration(ITD) features can reduce boilerplate code, quickly build and deploy a complete Spring MVC application and show usage of the incremental database reverse engineering (DBRE) addon.

Monthly Meeting ) When: July 12, 11:30-12:40 Where: Oklahoma City Coworking Collaborative (see Meeting location ) Sponsor: Oracle Speaker: Brent Loschen Topic: Java 7 Agenda 11:30 am - Welcome Announcements 11:40 am - Main Presentation 12:40 pm - Wrap Up Presentation Information On July 7, Oracle launched the long awaited Java 7 release. While this release is described simply as "evoluationary", there's a lot of nice new things in this release. Brent Loschen, a Systems Engineer with Oracle's Embedded Java team, will give us a high-level overview of what these new features are and what they mean to you as a developer. You may not be able to use Java 7 yet in your enterprise, but after this session, you'll be armed with the knowledge you need to being requesting it

Monthly Meeting ) When: June 14, 11:30-12:40 Where: Oklahoma City Coworking Collaborative (see Meeting location )Sponsor: SpeakerTopic: Clojure Life Agenda 11:30 am - Welcome Announcements 11:40 am - Main Presentation 12:40 pm - Wrap Up Presentation Information Clojure Life by Alex Miller Clojure is a new language that combines the power of Lisp with an existing hosted VM ecosystem (the Java VM). Clojure is a dynamically typed, functional, compiled language with performance on par with Java. This talk will introduce the Clojure language using Conway's classic "game of life" with cellular automata. We'll look at a Clojure implementation and explore different design choices around data representation and concurrency while digressing to teach the basics of the language itself.

Monthly Meeting ) When: May 10, 11:30-12:40" Where: Oklahoma City Coworking Collaborative (see Meeting location ) Sponsor: http://www.nofluffjuststuff.com/conference/dallas/2011/05/home[No Fluff Just Stuff] Speaker: Ken Sipe Topic: Enter the Gradle Agenda 11:30 am - Welcome Announcements 11:40 am - Main Presentation 12:40 pm - Wrap Up Presentation Information Enter the Gradle by Ken Sipe In the Java build space, first there was ANT, which provided a reliable way to build without an IDE. Then there was Maven, which provided standardization in build life cycles and dependency management. Now… Enter the Gradle, which provides convention over configuration approach to the build process and an approach at building that isn 't based XML. This session assumes no familiarly with Gradle as it introduces this new approach at building projects. It is very helpful to be able to read and understand groovy to get the most from the session. This session will look at multi-language or polyglot projects, as well as integration to ANT and Maven. It will conclude with building custom plugins for the Gradle build process.

Everyone is welcome to come to the SC meeting. We need new blood so please consider attending. You can sign up for SC emails here Please update the times you can attend here . We meet at the Oklahoma City Coworking Collaborative (see Meeting location ) usually 2 weeks before the regular meeting.

Monthly Meeting ) When: April 12, 11:30-12:40 Where: Oklahoma City Coworking Collaborative (see Meeting location ) - Things you shouldn't do when testing... Agenda 11:30 am - Welcome Announcements 11:40 am - Main Presentation 12:40 pm - Wrap Up Presentation Information JMockIt is a powerful and easy (perhaps too easy) to use mocking tool that allows you to do things that defy logic. Examples include stubbing static methods, changing final classes and pretty much anything that byte code injection on the fly (per test) allows. We'll look at some of those things along with more traditional test double creation and then discuss why on the one hand it is nice to have this power, on the other hand you should almost never use it.
