#devoxx 09: map&reduce and closures

19. November 2009 by Fabian Lange

A hot topic here at the Devoxx were the upcoming Java editions with their features and changes in the language syntax. While it is nice that you will be able to switch() on Strings, have a modularized platform and other cool stuff, one thing is a bit odd: the hype Closures get. Java 7 will be delayed mainly by this. But what is the hype?

Devoxx 2009 – iCalendar files for Outlook and more

4. October 2009 by Daniel Reuter

codecentric will be back at Devoxx this year, from November 18-20 2009, in Antwerp, Belgium. We will be visiting the conference with 8 colleagues and it will be my first time.

I’m really looking forward to this event so I started planning the sessions i’d like to visit.

Andreas had a great idea with his blog entry and his iCalendar files for the Agile09. So i took his idea and created some iCalendar files which can be imported in many calendar tools like iCal or Outlook. For that I wrote a small Java-Application. The data is obtained from the Devoxx Website using Selenium-Remote-Control. If anyone is interested in the source code, take this link. Feel free to extend the logic. Maybe you can use the comments to share your changes.
