  • Announcing the Irish Java Technologies Conference

    In early November, the Dublin Java Users Group along with IrishDev will be hosting the first of what I hope will be many major Java events here in Dublin. The one day Irish Java Technologies Conference aims to deliver the same caliber of content as the larger Java conferences, with an Irish slant, right to…

  • How to test the middle tier of a Spring application

    Since the advent of dependency injection (DI) as a staple of enterprise development using tools such as Spring or Guice, your code has become a lot easier to test. You no longer need to code up voodoo such as plugging in dummy resource locators or the like based on some random environment variable to tell…

  • Getting up to speed on EJB3 and Spring

    Another contract, another technology set. Having successfully avoided working in EJB2 after getting certified in it by Sun (only to work out just how badly it smelt 😉 ), my initial foray into its successor has been much nicer. The job in question specified Spring and EJB3 as technology requirements, so having Sprung in anger,…

  • JVM upgrades anyone?

    I think it’s fair to say that I have worked in a few places during my time in IT. The same issues, problems, discussions seem to pop up all the time. One of my biggest annoyances is that the moment a dependency is added into a development project, it’s cast in concrete. Getting rid of…

  • Running a successful JUG

    Ahmed Hashim from the Egypt JUG wrote an excellent post a while back about how to run a successful JUG. Great post, I'll probably use it as a checklist. http://egjug.org/hashimblog/2006/10/14/how-to-make-a-successful-java-user-group/ Since posting last week on the name change I have been approached with offers of sponsorship, as well as help from other JUGs. Greatly appreciated.

  • All New Dublin JUG!

    The people have spoken. The Dublin Java Meetup Group is now officially changing its name to the Dublin Java Users Group. I’ve been going over ideas for pushing the JUG ahead over the coming months. So far pie in the sky stuff, but you have to have an agenda:– meetups (of course – the forum…
