Discussions

At JUG Lugano we strive to keep discussions in English, so that we can involve the largest number of people, although Italian is also welcome.

  The best of the best:-)

  Ciao JUGurus, I need some food for thought and I hope you don't mind to provide it;-) What is in your opinion the best mix of technologies for a green field development of a web and mobile customer portal. Please don't restrict your choices to any mainstream or popular frameworks; I want to hear about any cool or niche ones as well and I don't really (sorry to say that;-) want to hear about Java stuff only but everything from A(da) to Z(sh or -notation)...

  [juglugano] Bad feelings about closures in Java 7

  I am copying and past below the last Neal Gafter's email posted on the lambda-dev mailing list. I am sorry to notice that my worst forecasts about having closures in Java 7 (or about the process through which they are going to be defined) weren't so far from reality.

  Re: R: [juglugano] The best of the best:-)

  Well, let me answer this again. What I really wanted to say is that from the deployment platform point of view, we need not to worry about scalability, i.e. we'll have good vertical and definitely state-of-the-art horizontal scalability. No restrictions regarding HW or OS;-) No problems with the FS as well (Google shame on you;-)).

  Hi Rafal, where will this application run? On customer servers or on internet cloud service providers (GAE, Amazon EC2, etc)? This decision may have an impact on the technologies you could consider....

  RE: [juglugano] JavaOne discount

  Hi Even though I’ll be there because I give a talk at Oracle OpenWorld, I also plan to attend JavaOne. So, I’m around if a lunch/dinner/happy hour/whatever is organized. That said, I’m in SFO only at the beginning of the week. Unfortunately a joint travel is not an option because 1) on my way to SFO I’ll stop for another conference in Detroit 2) I’ll leave SFO on Wednesday.

  Re: [juglugano] reminder meeting this thursday

  Ciao Rafal, per stavolta siamo temporaneamente tornati al giovedì perchè ieri era festa e pensavamo che qualcuno avrebbe potuto allungare la vacanza anche oggi. Inoltre non potevamo rimandare perchè settimana prossima c'è il Jazoon. Mi spiace che giovedì non ci sei. Ritorneremo al martedì dopo la pausa estiva.
