Event Description

Hello and welcome to GatorJUG! 

This will be our first meeting of 2016. Our sponsor is Cambridge Web Design. 

There's a lot going on in the Java world these days. JavaOne was a blast. So many topics. 

Here's an update on our January meeting. Kevin's going to talk with us about analysis.

Kevin Neelands has been programming for 30 or 35 years or so in a wide variety of circumstances, from educational programs for K-12 to sophisticated mathematical analysis using everything from AppleSoft BASIC to Java, C# and ARM assembly language.  Some of his work can be found in  iTunes and on Amazon.  It's all free, so download some and give a raving review.
There is still a problem with a lack of analysis in computer software, with coders racing to 'get something shippable' quickly instead of giving a problem a through examination and exploring different solutions before deciding on a path to take. Kevin will attempt to examine this problem and offer a few solutions by drawing comparisons between coding analysis and some aspects of learning theory, but he may just ramble aimlessly for 45 minutes and then invite some audience participation in the form of any horror stories about design gone bad-wrong people would like to share.  Should prove to be interesting either way.
The meeting will be at Santa Fe College room S-317, from 6-8:30. We'll have pizza from 6-7 and the discussion will begin at 7.

O'Reilly Media is a cornerstone of the open source world. Tim O'Reilly and company provide great products like the Safari Bookshelf, great books, videos, training, some of the best conferences, and so much more. 

Meanwhile, set your calendar to the second Wednesday, as always and get ready for some good pizza, excellent conversation and interesting briefs on what's new and exciting in the Java world.

All the best,

Michael Levin
