Find out what Adobe is doing with the next versions of Flex and ColdFusion and get a taste of how to build next-generation user experiences quickly and without coding using Flash Catalyst. We'll build a fully working application from a design created in Photoshop using Flash Catalyst and hook it up to a ColdFusion backend using Flex Builder 4.
LambdaJ library makes it easy to manipulate collections in a pseudo-functional and statically typed way. To iterate over collections and nested loops is often error prone and makes the code hard to read. LambdaJ uses functional programming techniques to address these issues while preserving the advantages of static typing in Java. It reduces code complexity when writing iterations over collections by allowing to filter, convert, group, aggregate and sort items with no need to write a single explicit loop. LambdaJ will be presented on Tue 02-june at next JavaOne conference in S.Francisco.
