JavaOne 2014 On the Horizon

This year, I submitted three proposals for the JavaOne conference, which takes place September 28 - October 2nd in San Francisco.  I am thrilled that two of them were accepted, and I am looking forward to presenting.  Here are a few details on the selected submissions:

Session ID: CON2038
Session Title: Java EE 7 Recipes

Abstract:

Learn important features of Java EE 7 through a number of examples, using a hands on approach, including working code demonstrations.  The examples are presented in a Problem, Solution, and How it Works recipe-style format, correlating usage of the APIs to real-life scenarios.  The presentation introduces topics using an easy-to-understand approach, and the examples showcase new features of Java EE 7, as well as mature Java EE features.  Recipes cover a variety of APIs from JSF to JPA to WebSockets, providing an overview of Java EE 7, along with examples using APIs together.  The talk explains server-side resources using GlassFish 4.

Attendees will walk away with a solid understanding of some of the most important features of Java EE 7.

Session ID: CON2258
Session Title: Java EE 7 Recipes for Concurrency

Abstract:

This session will demonstrate how to make use of the Concurrency Utilities for Java EE using a hands on approach, including working code demonstrations.  The examples will be presented in a Problem, Solution, and How it Works recipe-style format, which will correlate usage of the API to real-life scenarios.  Attendees will learn how to make use of ManagedExecutorService, ManagedScheduledExecutorService, ContextService, and ManagedThreadFactory resources via practical examples.  The talk will explain server-side resources and configuration via GlassFish, submitting tasks for asynchronous processing, and handling results.  In the end, attendees will be able to go back to the office and start making use of the Concurrency Utilities.

I want to thank all of the JavaOne content reviewers for their hard work, and I appreciate the opportunity to present!  I've seen lots of Twitter posts mentioning excellent sessions that have been selected from very prominent speakers.  I am grateful to be included as a presenter at one of the best Java conferences in the world, and I am looking forward to seeing all of the great presentations from others.  

See you in San Francisco this September!
