Who's Coming?

Jim Mlodgenski, EnterpriseDB's Chief Architect, will be on hand to discuss the effective use of PostgreSQL in an enterprise Java environment.

We will probably have time for 2-3 lightning talks as well - please let me know ASAP if you'd like to give a talk. Thanks!

    Topic: Scaling Hibernate Applications with Postgres

     All enterprise applications hit bottlenecks as they begin to scale and many times it can be traced to the interaction between the application and the database. Hibernate was designed to easily abstract this interaction from Java developers which has led to it popularity, but in doing so, has caused a rift between developers and database administrators in many organizations.  In this session, you will learn how developers and database administrators can work together to break through many application bottlenecks. The topics will include fetching strategies and HQL from the Hibernate side as well as data model and configuration changes from the database side.

    I’m slightly older than the computing industry, and have been programming since my undergraduate days. My cellphone now has more raw compute power than some of the computers I used in graduate school. It's an exciting time to be doing software!

    I listen to the Java Posse and Software Engineering Radio.

    Topic: Software Transactional Memory Lightning Talk

    TBD

Directions:

We are meeting at the Information Sciences building (affectionately known as "Building X") of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, located at 160 Shadyac Avenue (formerly North Parkway) in downtown Memphis.

Please be aware that the entrance gate is on Third Street. Ignore any instructions from Google Maps to turn onto North Parkway/Shadyac Avenue. We are meeting in the building at the corner of Third Street and Shadyac Ave. - it has a blue awning over the front door (which is clearly visible on the satellite imagery, and now has the St. Jude logo as well).

You will need to buzz in at the gate and tell St. Jude security you are here for the Java User Group meeting.
