January 8
Abe White, of SolarMetric,
will speak on JDO
Presentation
Abstract:
The Java Data Objects (JDO) specification for transparent persistence was
recently approved as a standard through the Java community Process. The
Java Data Objects specification provides a standard way for persisting
objects and is showing a great deal of promise by increasing application
portability, reducing development cycle time, and improving code quality.
Leveraging JDO, developers can write applications that load, store and query
objects in a data store without ever writing any back-end data store
infrasturucture code. In addition, we'll discuss how JDO works with EJBs
and the J2EE spec.
Abe is a senior software architect at SolarMetric () and is the original author of Kodo JDO (http://www.solarmetric.com/Software/Kodo_JDO/). He became interested in JDO while working in Research and Development at TechTrader, where he specialized in Object/Relational mapping, Object/XML mapping, and Java Enterprise technologies. Abe also has extensive experience with Java bytecode manipulation, and is the creator of the open source Serp Bytecode Toolkit (http://serp.sourceforge.net). In the past, Abe was a founder of The Basement, a non-profit entity that creates web-based solutions for acadamia. Abe graduated with High Honors from Dartmouth College with a degree in Computer Science. Abe is a member of the JDO Expert Group, helping define the next version of the JDO specification. Abe is also a Luminary at JDOcentral.com, a consortium focused on supporting the JDO standard. Finally, Abe is the technical editor for a forthcoming book on Java Data Objects.
