Experts from Oracle and the Community at Silicon Valley Code Camp!

By Yolande on Sep 21, 2011

Silicon Valley Code Camp (Oct. 8 & 9) is a community-driven developer conference. Developers will learn from their fellow developers in 212 sessions about code, of course, but also about legal issues, branding and community building. Experts from Oracle and the community are sharing their technical know-how during those 2 days in session formats ranging from informal discussions to presentations.

Conveniently scheduled on the weekend with a free entrance, the conference has become more popular over the years and has 1,787 registered this year. The support of many sponsors makes this conference happen and this year Oracle is a platinum sponsor.

Moving Java Forward: Java Summer Workshop 2011

By Yolande on Aug 31, 2011

When students tell you, “I could hardly believe I was programming my own game, animations and videos using Java,” or “It is a great opportunity to find out the fun of programming and creating your own animation or whatever you want to create,” and one parent adds “after the workshop, my son is so familiar with Oracle and Java,” I just can tell you it was a great event!

Over 300 Oracle employee sons and daughters, Oracle employees, parents and local high school students and teachers attended the three-day Java Summer Workshop and volunteer training on Greenfoot and Alice (Aug. 8-12 at Oracle HQ). (Alice and Greenfoot are two award winning visual educational software tools to teach Java programming.) The workshop was an introduction to programming only using drag and drop functions for 11 to 18 year old students.

Now available online are the training for Alice and Greenfoot, video student interviews, presentations, additional resources to learn Java, quotes, projects and pictures. Check it out!

Managing Resources with Java 7

By Janice J. Heiss on Jun 02, 2011

A very clear and detailed article by Julien Ponge, titled “Better Resource Management with Java SE 7: Beyond Syntactic Sugar,” presents the Java 7 answer to the automatic resource management problem in the form of a new language construct, proposed as part of Project Coin, called the try-with-resources statement.

Java applications frequently manipulate different types of resources such as files, streams, sockets, and database connections that require system resources for their operations. They must be managed with great care or risk having database connections and file descriptors remain open after an exception occurs elsewhere in the code. As a result, application servers may need frequent restarts due to resource exhaustion.

The article provides an overview of resource and exception management before explaining the essentials of try-with-resources statements. It then shows how a class can be made ready to support such statements, and concludes with a demystification of the syntactic sugar behind the language extension.

Ponge concludes that the try-with-resources construct “generates correct code on behalf of the developer, eliminating the need to write boilerplate code that is easy to get wrong. More importantly, this change has been accompanied with evolutions to attach one exception to another, thus providing an elegant solution to the well-known problem of exceptions masking each other.”
