Introduction to the Genormous This presentation is an introduction to the Genormous project (http://code.google.com/p/genormous).
Genormous generates object code specific to your database that is easy to use and understand. Genormous also generates objects for custom SQL queries that are easy to use and unit test.
The presentation will show how to setup Genormous for a new or existing dataase schema and some of the time saving features that Genormous has to offer. About thespeaker Brian Hawkins is the Senior Research Developer at Lingotek, where he works on an online tool for translators. Brian has been developing enterprise level applications for over eight years in both C++ and Java, but his preference is for Java. Brian graduated from Weber State University and recently finished his Masters degree at BYU. Brian has started several open source projects and is a big fan of open source efforts. Introducing the Scala Programming Language Scala fuses object-oriented and functional programming concepts into an elegant, statically typed programming language for the Java Platform. The name Scala stands for "SCAlable LAnguage." It is scalable in the sense that it is designed to be useful in a wide range of tasks, scaling up to very large programs written by many people and down to short scripts written by individuals. The conciseness and expressiveness of Scala gives it the feel of dynamic languages such as Python or Ruby, but Scala also provides a rich static type system that can help programmers prevent errors. In this talk, Bill Venners will give an introduction and overview of the Scala programming language. About thespeaker Bill Venners is president of Artima, Inc., publisher of Artima Developer (www.artima.com). He is author of the book, Inside the Java Virtual Machine, a programmer-oriented survey of the Java platform's architecture and internals. His popular columns in JavaWorld magazine covered Java internals, object-oriented design, and Jini. Active in the Jini Community since its inception, Bill led the Jini Community's ServiceUI project, whose ServiceUI API became the de facto standard way to associate user interfaces to Jini services. Bill is also the lead developer and designer of ScalaTest, an open source testing tool for Scala and Java developers, and coauthor with Martin Odersky and Lex Spoon of the book, Programming in Scala.
