Scala and project jigsaw at JavaOne

Published Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 by AN

A couple of us from Code3 went to JavaOne this year. I saw some great presentations (and some not-so-great). And of course I missed some great presentations. Unfortunately not that many presentations are online. Here is one I missed, which has a great segment (first 30 mins) on project jigsaw – the proposed module system for OpenJDK7. It looks like Java will finally fit well on modern GNU/Linux operating systems like Ubuntu.

My favorite presentation was “The feel of Scala” by Bill Venners (I ran out and bought his Scala book after the presentation). This presentation is not online (yet?) but I have found a video of the talk from another conference

Enjoy!
