TOPIC:  JavaFX 2 using the Spring framework
6:30 to 7:00 Pizza
7:00 Main Meeting

Abstract: JavaFX 2 is the future of RIA development. It takes the power of a modern scene graph, adds rich animation and multimedia capabilities, and extends to the web and beyond with seamless portability. At the same time, it leverages the power and breadth of the Java language and platform, allowing full access to existing Java libraries and integration with Java client technologies like Swing.

This session will introduce you to the JavaFX 2 platform with an end-to-end example built using the Spring framework. See best practices for applying Spring web service and authorization APIs in your JavaFX application. If you have heard about JavaFX before, but were not sure about taking the plunge, now is the time to see what you have been missing out on.

Biography: Stephen Chin is a Java Evangelist at Oracle specializing in UI technology and co-author of the Pro JavaFX Platform 2 title, which is the leading technical reference for JavaFX. He has been featured at Java conferences around the world including Devoxx, Codemash, OSCON, J-Fall, GeeCON, Jazoon, and JavaOne, where he twice received a Rock Star Award. In his evenings and weekends, Stephen is an open-source hacker, working on projects including ScalaFX, a DSL for JavaFX in the Scala language, Visage, a UI oriented JVM language, JFXtras, a JavaFX component and extension library, and Apropos, an Agile Project Portfolio scheduling tool written in JavaFX.

Topic: Using MyBatis with Spring by Brian Hurley

6:30 to 7:00 Pizza
7:00 Main Meeting

Abstract: - While there has been a lot of content about NoSQL databases and some great improvements in the Spring Data area especially with JPA I still like to use MyBatis for our legacy database interactions. MyBatis gives you most of the goodness that JPA gives while still allowing easy access to thoes non 3rd normal form tables without jumping through many JPA hoops. What I will show is some of the history around iBatis/MyBatis, how to get started using MyBatis in Java and with Spring and how to create some dynamic mappings.

BIO: Brian Hurley has been programming for over 30 years. He has been working for Texas Instruments for the last 23 years and programming Java for the last 11 years. Brian is the Secretary of JavaMUG (http://javamug.org) for the last 4 years, and has the leader of the Dallas Spring User Group since 2009.
