Even the most competent programmer falls into habits and coding ruts. This session delivers ten techniques for improving code, regardless of the platform. The topics are: names of things, where to put your stuff, handling constants, handling enumerations, composed method, template method design pattern, refactor mercilessly, mementos and inner classes, bad inheritance, and interfaces.

A high-quality software architecture is considered to be a prerequisite for applications that wish to fulfill both their functional and non-functional requirements. Especially the non-functional requirements take a considerable influence to the system design and also the separation between the specification and realization of its components. This session presents some principles, idioms and patterns for outlining a scalable and lean architecture. Beyond theory, some real world examples will be presented.

JBuilder is the most platform-neutral J2EE development environment available. This session shows JBuilder's ability to work with numerous application servers for EJB development and deployment. It shows how to develop EJB's using JBuilder's Wizards and deploy them to Borland Enterprise Server (BES), WebLogic, and JBoss. Platform specific deployment descriptros and deployment requirements are covered as well.

There is a difference between the theory and the practice in real world projects. This session presents not the features, but the challenges with J2EE 1.3 and 1.4. Some common pitfalls and problems in the presentation, business and integration tiers will be discussed. Issues and FAQs discussed in this sessions were gathered in trainings, projects and conferences.

Simple J2EE applications can be easily built using the drag and drop approach. In more sophisticated projects some knowledge of distributed computing, clustering, transactions or caching principles is needed. This session presents some pitfalls in more advanced topics like locking, persistence, transactions concurrency in the J2EE 1.3/1.4 world.

Für die einen eine Revolution, für andere die nötige Einbindung von zusätzlichen Notationselementen. Mit einem kompaktem Überblick der Neuerungen, aber auch Fallgruben, entscheiden Sie nach der Session selbst, ob sich für Sie ein Umstieg lohnt. Die Anpassung der UML 2.0 an bestimmte Domänen (Profile) mittels der MOF (Meta Object Facility) und XMI, zeigt die zusätzlichen Möglichkeiten der MDA.

This session covers the concepts of performance analysis and optimization in J2EE-based environments. We discuss how to maximize J2EE performance by best practice and how to detect performance problems. Get a deep live insight in the newest versions of Optimizeit ServerTrace for J2EE measurement and the Optimizeit Suite for general fine tuning of Java applications.

This session will show advanced database techniques in JBuilder, including client and server side filtering, searching, sorting and handling joined queries along with performance issues pertaining to their usage. There will also be detailed coverage of data validation, building custom providers and resolvers, using JDataStore to create “briefcase” applications and many DataExpress components.

This session will show how to develop graphical, database applications for micro devices. The demonstration will focus on two major areas: how to build and manipulate a graphical user interface and how to store and manipulate data. Other topics discussed will be APIs specific to this type of development and how their use affects typical development in terms of portability and flexibility.

This session will cover the best practices for Define, Design, Develop, Test, Deploy and Manage. It shows how to enable the entire development team to colloborate, reflect and react to each other's work in real time. Whether you're an analyst, architect, developer, tester, deployer or manager, this session will deliver valuable information to be more productive and improve the overall quality.

Innerhalb von zwei Sessions erhalten Sie einen Überblick über die wesentlichen Neuerungen der J2SE 1.5. Dies umfasst neue Eigenschaften der Sprache Java wie AutoBoxing oder Annotations sowie Verbesserungen und Erweiterungen in den Klassenbibliothek und den Tools. Dabei vereinfachen die Neuerungen das Leben der Neulinge genauso wie das der erfahrenen Entwickler.

Das neue Sprachmittel der Generics ist in seiner einfachsten Anwendung schnell verstanden. Welche Anwendungsmöglichkeiten und Probleme aber dann auf Sie zukommen, wenn Sie Generics einsetzen wollen, wird häufig unterschätzt. Diese Session soll Ihnen das nötige Rüstzeug geben, um Generics effektiv zu nutzen.

Windows-1252 oder ISO-8859-1? UTF-8? Unicode? Jeder Entwickler sollte die Möglichkeiten der Zeichensätze kennen, damit es mit dem Austausch und der Speicherung von Informationen klappt. Und damit Ihnen niemand ein ô für ein ä vormacht.
