Details are below:
Main Meeting:
Topic: Using Eclipse
Speaker: David Gallardo, Independent software consultant and co-author of Eclipse In Action
7:15-8:45 p.m. Wednesday, August 13, 2003
Location: Qwest Auditorium
Cost: Free
Main Meeting Description:
Eclipse is a new open-source, Java-based, extensible
development platform designed for "nothing in particular"
but everything in general. Because of its roots, it is currently
most popular as a Java integrated development environment (
IDE).
Eclipse ships with plugins for writing and debugging Java code.
Additional plugins for more advanced Java development,
such as JSP/servlets, are available from third parties.
Basic Concepts Meeting:
Topic: JDOM
Speaker: Chris Huston
6-7 p.m. Wednesday, August 13, 2003
Location: Qwest Auditorium
Cost: Free
The good news is XML is vendor-neutral, platform-neutral,
and programming language-indedepenent. The bad news is
Xerces reflects these attributes and doesn't present a very
Java-like interface. This isn't a criticism -- it's by design –
but JDOM offers the best of both worlds. This open source
API, written by Jason Hunter and Brett McLaughlin,
makes parsing XML a far more Java-friendly experience.
