<div>Programming Platform Growth: Table Stakes or Deal Makes?</div>
<div>This talk draws from Ed's 25 years of professional programming<br/>experience, spanning many languages, operating systems, and platforms,<br/>to survey what it takes to make a programming language platform<br/>successful in terms of widespread use. Ed will look at Java, Python,<br/>Node, Go, and Swift and evaluate the ingredients that brought each one<br/>its own form of success. Finally, Ed will draw some lessons that apply<br/>to anyone trying to grow their computing platform, because, at some<br/>level, we are all in the platform business.<br/><br/>## Purpose of the Talk<br/><br/>IT practitioners are often faced with platform selection choices when<br/>building solutions for their customers. The set of available choices is<br/>always subject to lots of churn and chaos. This talk looks at what<br/>separates successful platforms from others in terms of how each one<br/>deals with technical and non-technical concerns.<br/><br/>## Target Audience<br/><br/>* Architect level developers who are faced with technology selection choices.<br/><br/>* Developers who want the platforms they are building to be successful.<br/><br/>## Audience Takeaway<br/><br/>Success is never an accident, and when it comes to programming platforms<br/>thare are many checkbox-type things your platform must have to ensure<br/>success. But implementing these things requires lots of grit,<br/>determination, and polish.<br/><br/></div>

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!<br />

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.<br />
<br />
I also hope to see many of you next Thursday at the upcoming JUG meeting with Ed Burns and Vernon Singleton. Please RSVP in the Events section or at our Meetup group.<br />
<br />
And here's a bit of interesting news: it's very likely that Matt Raible will give us a talk the week of December 12. This will also be at Winter Park Canvs and I think the meeting will be Wednesday, December 12. Stay tuned for details.<br />

<p>Hello, OrlandoJUG!</p>
<p></p>
<p>We had a great meeting last week. Didn't come? You missed out on a great talk about Java Server Faces and Servlet by Ed Burns, but the good thing is his <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7213221-javaserver-faces-2-0" target="_blank">books are easy to find</a> and he's…</p>

<p>Hello, OrlandoJUG!</p>
<p></p>
<p>We had a great meeting last week. Didn't come? You missed out on a great talk about Java Server Faces and Servlet by Ed Burns, but the good thing is his <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7213221-javaserver-faces-2-0" target="_blank">books are easy to find</a> and he's local.</p>
<p><a href="http://nighthacking.com/ed-burns-on-jsf-2-3-and-servlet-4-0/" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1799503750?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p>In fact, his presentations were the ones he gave recently at JavaOne and here's a <a href="http://nighthacking.com/ed-burns-on-jsf-2-3-and-servlet-4-0/" target="_blank">video</a> of him with someone you all probably either have heard of or recognise: Steve Chin on Java at Nighthacking. Heather VanCura flew in from the East Bay (Oracle, SF) and gave us 2 things: an overview of how the <a href="https://jcp.org/ja/participation/overview" target="_blank">Java Community Process</a> works and an invitation for us, the OrlandoJUG to be a part of it. How? We need an ambassador to step up to the plate and help organize. Then, we'll have a direct hand in shaping the future of Java. <em><strong>Let me know who wants to be first to be involved.</strong></em> It'll be interesting to see how the involvement trickles down, if you know what I mean. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks to Heather and Ed, and Lamine and Mamadou and the gang at <a href="http://Senejug.com" target="_blank">Senejug</a>, we managed to pull off our first live Google Hangout. </p>
<p></p>
<p>How do you like the <a href="http://www.meetup.com/orlandojug/" target="_blank">Meetup</a> page? It's up for renewal 2/11 and I am thinking it's 1) a good thing - we got 120 or so members, most of which are new and 2) it's pulling people in here to Codetown so we can have better discussion forums, which is the point, isn't it. </p>
<p></p>
<p>We met at the new, shiny DeVry campus. Thanks, DeVry - you always come through for us. Over 10 years now, DeVry has been a mainstay for OJUG. While every other place is like a swinging door and has trouble recognising that OJUG is supported by sponsors and has very little in the way of budget, DeVry just asks that we turn the lights off when we leave. </p>
<p></p>
<p>It was a very informative and fun meeting...and the pizza was HOT! We didn't let the rain stop us, did we? </p>
<p></p>
<p>Stay tuned for some very exciting OJUG news for February...I think we'll have Jackie Gleason here to give a talk on Angular, NoSQL, Neo4J and more...keep your fingers crossed!</p>
