Talks for 2009
Here is my current plan for my tech talks next year. Just thought I'd decide now and get organised:
- Febuary: OpenSolaris. This will target 1st years generally before they get used to Linux
- March: NetBeans and JavaFX. Once again, the uni runs Eclipse, so I hope I can divert a little bit of attention away from it and get people onto NetBeans earlier (should be a no brainer if they like matisse and the plugins). The JavaFX one will be a little bit of fun :)
- April: SunSPOTs. I love these things, though I don't know enough about them yet to do a tech talk. It will give me an opportunity to learn a little more about them
- May: DTrace and GlassFish. DTrace is very interesting and glassfish, quite frankly, is comletely *insert appropriate sexual connotation here*
- June & July: This is exam and holiday period, so I'll probably lie low a bit here
- August: NetBeans & JavaME. Just to jump on the Java wagon and entice first years to use NetBeans over eclipse in the second programming course most 1st years do
- September: MySQL. Filling the schedule up slowly here....
- October: This is assignment crunch season, so everyone will be begging for procrastination opportunities. Gotta make this one count, so I'll probably do one on OpenSolaris zones
- November: Exam season. Might try to cough up something on Sun Studio compilers though
- December: Holidays, so I'll lay low
