Got CDI? Wonder what dependency injection and JEE6 are all about? What the heck is Spring? RSVP, por favor. This is an event you won't want to miss!
Please RSVP so we'll know how much pizza to order. Invite your friends!
Hang on to your seats! JEE and CDI are the November, 2012 GatorJUG topics with Curtis McMillen, ace developer.

Abstract
CDI: The new new()
Okay so new() hasn't actually gone anywhere, but I did get your attention right? With Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) you can still use new() but why would you want to? And what's so great about CDI, besides the DI? All patterned out and tired of FooFactory and BarObserver? Put the PowerPoint down and see answers to these questions and many more developed live using actual Java code.
Come join us as we dig deep into the Java Enterprise version 6 and dependency injection. Please pass the word and bring a friend.
Check out this great tutorial for insights into JEE6 and CDI:http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/giwhb.html
Come hungry, podnuh's...we'll have lots of pizza and drinks, courtesy of Mark Kilby and Rally Software, our sponsor. Thanks, Mark!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Airbnb upgraded Mussel, its multi-tenant key-value store, replacing static per-client rate limits with an adaptive, resource-aware traffic control system. The redesign ensures resilience during traffic spikes, protects critical workflows, and maintains fair usage across thousands of tenants while scaling efficiently.

Google has introduced Code Wiki, a new platform designed to keep software documentation continuously synchronized with the code it describes. The system generates a structured wiki for each repository, automatically updates it after every change, and powers an integrated chat interface that understands the entire codebase.
